The fuel tank is a typically crap BMW design.It's made in two halves and welded together.Where the filler neck and the breather pipes are brazed in is a wonderful mud trap and the ledge where the top and bottom halves are joined rots away.You can see some areas by removing the rubber seal that fits ...

Just re-read your post.Mine are only 2 stripes.

Hi, The actuator bolts through the innerwing/fender.The mounting bracket for the actuator has 3 studs so you need to drill through the inner wing to mount it. I had to temporarily mount the oil reservoir,pipes and cables to ensure nothing fouled and then hope I'd drilled the holes in the right posit...

Apologies Henrick,I didn't have a cylinder head on the car when I replaced
the front lines.Made it quite easy to do!!

Has anyone seen an M6 with duplex timing chains? I bought a E36 tensioner to upgrade my M6 and, looking at the post in this forum,realised that mine is totally different.Mine has a diaphragm on the side of the tensioner fitting. Looking at the parts CD, the fittings I have refer to a duplex chain se...

Use a hairdryer on the glass to soften the double-sided tape and with a large flat scraper gently ease the glass from the mounting plate.Don't get it too hot or the plastic surround will start melting. Once the glass has been removed you can see how it comes apart. If you have got heated mirrors you...

I found the easiest way to make the lines was using the old ones as templates and making them on the bench.Don't forget to put the union nut
on one end before bending!!

Hi all. I unfortunately, need to replace the front to rear brake lines on my 6. Tracing the lines I'm a bit concerned about the screw just above the rear subframe. Has anyone attempted to remove this without dropping the subframe? I believe there is a screw hidden where the lines enter the engine a...

Welcome to the forum.All you need is a new front wheel bearing.The toothed ABS ring is part of the bearing assy.HTH.

The sliding pins are covered by a plastic plug.Pull the plug off and there you go.You don't need to remove calipers to change pads just remove the anti-rattle spring,lever the piston back into the caliper (ensure that the master cylinder won't overflow)and the pads will pull out. Highlines are the s...

Thanks.Just what I need,

Thanks for that,Val. Regds. Ron.

Can anybody help with the part numbers of Sport shocks?
BMW and Bilstein U.K.are not much help and, as I've got a set of Eibach
shorter springs.I need the shorter shocks to fit.
Thanks. Ron.

Can you send me the part nos.?BMW are having problems finding them.Thanks. Ron.

The model shown is from Autoart and they are supposed to be exactly
as the original.

Hi James,Where did you get your sport shocks from?
Thanks. Ron.

Hi Dave, Will definitely need mine checked as I have removed rear crossmember,trailing arms,springs and dampers.The front suspension and steering gear have also been removed.I think I've got all the parts to rebuild now and I'll photo/document it. Is there a national franchise of the Hunter equipmen...

Hi Paul,The GSF part nos. L/H---B94022B 63 12 1 386 407 R/H---B94023B 63 12 1 386 408 These are taken off invoice number BI127418 Dated 15 nov 05 HTH Regds.Ron.

The l/h & r/h lenses are different part numbers due to the mounting
points.

I've got a '79 convertible and it's not in bad condition.In some aspects it's
better than my '89 Highline.
Go for it!!

Hi Kev,I've got a set of sports seats in very tatty condition.I've removed all the motors etc.and you are welcome to the them if you want to experiment with trying to swap the bits over. I spent quite a long time swopping bits and they are very fiddly to do. I put a memory module on the passenger se...

No problem to replace.Unbolt and remove.Ensure the mounting face is clean and replace using some sort of gasket goo(Hermetite or similar).
Torque the nuts to suit.

Mine is a Highline with wipers.The units from GSF were good.I tried getting
units from Hella but at ?40.00 each (and they didn't fit) I tried elsewhere.
So hopefully they will be OK for you.
Regds. Ron.

I got a l/h & r/h unit from G.S.F. back in november for my Highline.
They were marked as E30 but they fitted.
