Headlamp wipers.

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=61_0029

Due to unfortunately putting the brackets (#9) into powdercoat, it melted the rubber/plastic bushes.

So I am looking for some. Condition unimportant as long as the bushes are in good condition.

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!

I've done this quite a few times with no problems. Thanks for the information. I tried once again to figure out how to get t...

Depends on whether you have a fine or coarse spline steering column. The change over date was 9/85.

The M-Tech 2 wheel will be fine spline.
