After additional reading and looking at a friend's '85 e23 with the m30b34, I have less clarity. I was almost sure that a 0280160225 (2.5 bar) was correct. But he has a 0280160249 (3.0 bar).

Can anyone confirm or deny that the 249 is the correct FPR for an '85 m30b34?

Good point, completely forgot about the coolant line there.

A race car previously owned by me and BJ Meyer (of Clownshoe Motorsports) may be for sale by current owner, I will check on sale status. It's an '84 Euro converted to run a B35. Located in STL, MO. Meets NASA tech specs, was run in both NASA and Chumpcar events Full roll cage, very nice (by Izzy's C...

Clean it and see if it comes back. You are sure it's coolant and not oil seeping from the valve cover? If you are sure it's coolant and it returns after you clean it, I would say you have a head gasket problem at minimum.

1985 635csi (US model) with the m30b34 of course, 059 ecu. Real OEM shows several different fuel pressure regulators, all but one of which are 2.5 bar. The other is the 3.0 bar FPR. Which one is the correct one for my car? I did quite a bit of forum searching and looking on parts websites most place...

Ok, so part way through trying to remove the subframe bushings with the subframe still in the car, I scrapped that idea. Pulled the subframe out. It was more time consuming, but much easier to deal with. Bonus, the trailing arm bushings had been replaced by a previous owner and were in great shape. ...

Made my '84 Euro race car into a slick top, so a non-original slick top.

Complete suspension overhaul complete on the e24. Car only has 98,000 miles but the suspension was done. All new bushings (rubber), end links, H&R Sports, and Billy HD's front and rear. Car drives amazing now, very sporty but not too stiff. The 3.46 LSD swap also helped the fun factor. Now I jus...

Do you have rear side window sill plastic in black?

Had a new no start issue out of nowhere on my e24. Car would start but immediately die, so I'll call it a no start. Started looking at all electrical, everything connected as it should be. Started with vacuum lines, everything good. Next checked ICV, it was vibrating, but then I noticed it was loose...

Fantastic and thank you! Of course now I have to deal with a 'start then stall unless under WOT' issue that just popped up.

Still looking for one?

I will be replacing e24 rear subframe bushings. Surprisingly, I've never had to do this on an e24. I'm thinking I can do it with the subframe still in the car. Thoughts?

...now get that M635 street worthy!

You could check the sway bar link bushings. They are easy to replace if worn. Control arm bushings are another wear item to check. If you're removing the strut, that's half the work to replace many other things.

According to RealOEM diagram, the subframe is the only part that has "different versions". The only part I do not see listed on that diagram is the differential housing. However, I know it is not different pre-87 as all medium case differentials fit all non-M e24's. With this logic, I woul...

heater control valve?

Check out all the individual shifter assembly parts on realoem.com. I believe they changed after 84 but I'm not 100% sure on that. You can look at the early then later stuff and compare part numbers.

I'm in need of the housing for the heater control valve. I've gone through two MTC inserts and now the plastic housing leaks at a seam. I'm just going to buck up for a BMW valve insert just to be done with this. I don't need the valve to be working, just need the plastic housing and the valve contro...

A comparable set of front springs may be an option as well. I have H&R sport rears already, just needs fronts to match.

I'm looking for a set of H&R Sport Springs, front only. May consider a full set if the price is right.

Found, thanks to everyone who replied or sent PM's.

Saw that yesterday, they were already sold by the time I contacted him. Thanks for the heads up though.

Looking for a set of good, used HD's. No rust or blown units please.

I installed my MTC unit correctly. Removed and reinstalled it 3 times to be sure, it still leaked. I had cleaned out the valve to ensure a good seal, but it did not help. Then amongst messing with it, it now leaks through a seam in the plastic housing for the valve near the bottom. I am just going t...
