True and they are good quality too. I have used them and like them.

Hi Greg, Things are going really well. Thank you so much for the lead up. Good to know the supplier. The shocks were good after having them checked. I ended up installing new mounts, new bump stops where applicable, new dust boots and new hardware (bolts, nuts etc). I took the opportunity to also tr...

A Euro should absolutely have an M88 and that is an M88 valve cover, which won't bolt onto an S38. The VIN lookup must be squirrelly. Jose Almost would seem that way but... The vin lookup is right from BMW centernet Both my M635's show a S38 in the vin decode also. Seems the decode has no clue of t...

Hi Adam,

I sent you a PM asking for a couple of things.

Regards, Orlando.

Hey Ben, Need to put that bike away and get on the sixer!!

Great pictures Paul!! Thank you for posting them. Did you notice the picture in my profile?

Orlando.

Bundock Park, Clovely at 8:30 it is!!!

Orlando.

they are the stock M635/M6 bilsteins Old PN; B46-0725 New part number; 24-007252 The valving and the stroke are different from the bilstein sport shock, and of course the spring diameter is larger than that found on the other E24/2 (E28 chassis) shocks. You can use one of the other fitments provide...

I did give you the number to Bilstein, right? I just went to 'Bilstein.com' & even found a distributor in N.S.W.! =D> You did indeed Greg, Thank you so much. A bit tricky with the time difference between USA and Australia and work commitments but Saturday mornings are good for calling USA suppl...

Thank you so much to Dave, Chris and Brucey for your replies, it helps a lot. On my way to order the bumpstops.

Brucey, I still would like to identify the shock absorbers I have at the back, they have the numbers 5210725W00 in case I need to replace them too.

Thanks again an best regards, Orlando

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the reply. That is assuming that I have the original shock absorber and I don't know if I do. The part number in RealOEM for the absorber doesn't correspond to the numbers printed on the absorber itself.

Regards, Orlando.

Hi guys, I need to replace the bump stops in my 1985 M635CSI as they are cooked. My shock absorbers are Bilstein and I had a look today and the rear ones have the numbers 5210725W00. I have searched for this number and also googled it and find nothing. Could you please help me to identify the shock ...

Hi Orlando, It will be good to see you again. Make sure you bring your walkie-talkie mate, I remember last time you taught us all that naughty word, I use it on Paul all the time. This is the best picture of Orlando's car I could find. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t120/mre635/Spring%20Cruise%...

Would be good to see you again Orlando. I saw your beautiful M6 at the last Show N Shine at Silverwater but couldn't find you. I've actually seen your M6 a few times in the city (on Kent St.) around 4pm-5pm in the last year or so. Need to chat to you about where you got your wheels done (Artarmon??...

Hi Paul et all, I will be able to do this one!!! I was overseas when you guys did the last Bathurst drive and was a bit cheesed off that I couldn't make it. Would be great to see you guys again. it has been a while since we did our last long drive which was very enjoyable indeed. By now surely you w...

It is amazing how one can become a very good friend with a particular product, it seems yours is POR15. Mine used to be WD40 until I met PB Blaster!!

Guys, It is with much regret, I have to inform you that I will not be able to make it this Saturday as I am required in Perth for work. As always, I was very much looking forward to seeing you guys but it is not going to be the case this time. Hope you have a great time and will keep an eye on all t...

Hi Matt, Sad to let her go as it is one of the best if not the best I have seen. Hope you keep in touch, you still owe me that visit you promised me when I went to your place. I have a good stock of red and the spare room if you decide to stay. Hope Danny makes contact and since he is in the North s...

Billy boy, you certainly doing a great job and the parts you have restored look great. With all the goodies you have in the boxes ready to be installed the car will be like brand new.

Can't wait to see it finished!!!!

I will not be able to do the 6/4 any other weekend will be fine for me.

Orlando.

Absolutely agree!! Ron is very knowledgeable, very helpful, generous and a very nice guy.

You are doing a tremendous job in restoring this car, keep up the good work. I restored mine and there are some parts that were very difficult to source, specially those rubber things that are common in our cars. If yours are not too bad, it is amazing how they can be brought back to life with a bit...

BTW this fix -i.e. bad solder joints- is quite DIY-able; if you can use a soldering iron, you can fix these ECUs if this is the fault. Glad it is all sorted! BTW I agree that making the mixture right is a good thing to do; I'm not 100% convinced that the springs weaken in the AFM over time, but it ...
