Stalling out

Sounds as if you have a breather problem with the fuel tank.The pump is sucking the fuel out but with no breather it can't overcome the vacuum in the tank.

To prove this theory(or not)try running the car with no cap on the tank.

Style 5's should fit no problem. The M5 replica wheels you have will no doubt be for an E39 and may be running either a spacer of a hubscentric ring to fit. If you take this off they should bolt up no problems. If it fits on the 628 it will fit on the 635 as the struts, arches etc are all indentica...

Leak

Those 2 lines running underneath the "wet" area are for the gearbox oil

cooler.I had a pinhole leak in both lines on one car which sprayed oil in

much the same area as you have got.It's worth a look.

It's the same ATF fluid as the power steering.

I mounted the r/h one on the inner wing above the wash bottle.The l/h I

mounted forward of the battery on the bulkhead below the h/l cover.This

is assuming you have a 635 not an "M". Photo of l/h.

Brake" bomb"

Brian, It's not too bad a job. It's pretty straight forward. Some say you can unscrew the accumulator (brake bomb) from the regulator in-place, I don't see how, I find it easier to remove the regulator/accumulator assembly and unscrew it on the bench. It may not be a bad brake accumulator though, i...

HID kit

Yes they work fine with the ellipsoids.You will need to disconnect the
resistors for the side lights that put a reduced voltage to the dip beam
when the ignition is on.This is a UK fit and don't know whether it's fitted elsewhere.
You don't say where you are !!
