Lower diff gears are Orsome. Went from a leasurely 3.25 to 4.10 in an auto 535i e28 and it totally transformed the car and only used a little extra fuel. Went from 3.23 to 3.62 in a e36 m3 eurospec and it was good also and use no extra fuel and was good for the 3rd gear corners on the track. Does th...

The leathereque rocks. It took me 3x treatments to get the colour for
A green looking colour to something resembling black. I'm gunna try some doc bailies as it has abit of dye in it

The wheels and the suspension drop really make the car.

So are u guys meeting up somewhere on Saturday. Logistically I'd have to leave Friday and stay somewhere local like yass and check out the Friday night activities or bring a tent and rough it somewhere. Any of u guys staying locally or are u just coming down for the day.

Haha who said it would b ok without a heater??

I got the heat working now just not the fan.

You don't see many in blue. Looks sweet

There is plenty of meat on the throwing stars so a 3mm shave should not comprise the strength.
The only problem is at 17x9et22 they are gunna look skinny on the rear with no spacer. Even my throwing stars 17x9et19 need a 15mm spacer to fill the guards nice. I have those guard extensions thou I guess.

also note that a diesel turbo is not made from materials which are suitably resistant to the higher exhaust temperatures that are seen in gasoline engines. I know a lot of people do use them, but they are usually in vehicles that don't actually get driven very far; no reputable turbocharger manufac...

is this confirmed to go ahead??

on Saturday 5 May.

Have a small issue with the suspension. After a reasoable long trip today with some average roads , It seems the solid camber plates are just too harsh for the poor old 6er and any sharp bump in the road at speed feels pretty nasty, feeling like it bottoms out. Porbably need much stiffer springs and...

Mate I'm 5'9" and my hair touches the sunroof. I have manual seats and they seem not to go down as far as my e34 or e36.

The battery op impact wrench is your friend. It helps combat fatigue ESP when u are home mechanic and not used to bending at tight angles working on yOur car

Very nice work. Like the de-chroming work with the red paint also.

Orsome lookingM6
Love the red

Its good timing that they aired a repeat top gear episode with 635csi XJS and a Mitsubishi station (remember these)

The std 4piston setup should be reasonably good. Like all old brakes some new braided lines will work wonders. The upgraded m5 brakes won't fit 16" rims. Good pads and fresh disks and new fluid will also work wonders. I've picked up some 540i rear calipers to suit 300x20 vented disk will help t...

Heres pics of the lowered suspension with the naked throwing stars. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/chemicals1/IMG_0176.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/chemicals1/IMG_0179.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/chemicals1/IMG_0181.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/chem...

Welcome to E24 ownership mr Boogeyboy. There is certainly plenty of potential in that red beast.

I'd be interested. Its a fair way coming from Melbourne it looks. Also do you need a working heater at that time of year.
I'd better get my bottom into gear and fix this. We will talk of the logistics as it gets closer.

I can report springs are not too bad. A 2nd person is very handy (ESP if they have done similar before) mainly when to reinstall the top plates through the 3 holes. Now the M sits on lowered eibach springs with bilstien Oem shocks and front e34 camber plates. I have now nearly -2deg front camber and...

Color-=random. Thanks for sharing would be ok on the back or the rear console if they were black. The simple solution I use was cut up and rivet some 80mmOD PVC plumbers pipe and rivet them together in a line of 3. I put on passenger side with no bottoms so no friction when we use the seat retractor...

Thank you very much guys this is exactly the info I need Just a little unclear on the std thickness. Is it 15mm, 16mm, or 19mm? My front disks need a slight machine and although the pads have plenty left on them I'm not sure what compound they are or how good the pads will be after not benignity dri...

As the title says.
These cars are rare in Australia. I know with the 840i brembos they share pads with the brembos from the r32 and r33 Nissan GTR. The ones of the M635i are smaller. Anyone can help here or know what other cars have se brake pad size??

I have a clunk sound on my car when changing turn, or slow turning or changing the direction of travel (using brakes). My alignment guy says I need new bearings at the top of the front struts. I am waiting to change to lower springs and adjustable camber parts. You would find with bearing plates wh...
