The Walker 13033 muffler I bought is for the 628. It did fit my 635 perfectly in terms of shape and the size of the tubes, except for the bracket, I think on the older models it was clamped around the exhaust. In my case, however, there was a bracket welded to the exhaust just above the end pieces. ...

Will do, thanks Bob!

Great! Thanks for the confirmation. Will connect and proceed with the smoke test to make sure everything is sealed properly.

I think that was written in the book "just needs a recharge".

I think I found it.
The blue tube attached to the bottom side of the manifold needs to be connected to a small brown tube that goes into the interior, to which I believe goes to an interior sensor.

Can someone confirm this?

I did some smoke tests on my car to find vacuum leaks. Found one in the edge of the air check valve (part.no.1163170627), managed to seal it with some silicone sealant. I did find no other leaks but that could be due to the fact I don't quite know where to connect the smoke tester. Tried to connect ...

Perfect fit, looks great Larry.

That looks a lot better than in your previous photos! Good job.

With help of these videos, it isn't to hard to do it yourself. Testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQYRep6K15k Refurbishment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-QlPtsjh7g Or you could perhaps buy a remanufactured one at this UK based company.

Why on earth would they have covered them? And they didn't do it very subtle...

Wow, what an end result! That looks very good!
Unbelievable that BMW didn't make it like this, instead of these elephant ears indicators

Did all these issues start at the same time?
My first guess is that they are not related but that's just a guess.
I had a similar situation with a Peugeot once, the car stalled and was able to start again right after. Found out the fuse box was bad, it had a bad connection.

To both questions, no. Not new, no replicas.
Your only chance is a used one which to be honest, are not coming up for sale often.

Thanks Bert.
Wow that is a good price. I asked a local company here, they asked 400 euros for the job.

I think you can get this new at the BMW dealer, they are not that expensive.

Finished!
Fitted 2 original BMW chrome tail pipe tips.

This is an old topic, I know, sorry to open it again.
But I thought this was important information related to this topic.
BMW has restarted the production of these tail pipe tips.
I just picked up 2 from my local BMW dealer.

Well, with a lot of love this could end up as a great looking Euro. This car has had a special history, that's for sure. In the ad text you can read that the car has been owned by the current owner since 1997, who has barely driven it. The story is that an American soldier took this car to Germany b...

And then that price, 29.999 Euro

Guys,
What is wrong with this car?
Looks like a Euro which was converted to US in the past

A lot of these are on eBay, used, refurbished and even a new one (expensive!).
The used ones are pretty cheap.

Always fun a discussion about taste.
I prefer the late Highlines, I like the more modern eighties look over the original slim design.
If I had to choose one, I would definitely go for the Zinnober red Highline.
