m635 Exhaust options and Supersprint install

I"m looking to update my exhaust on my m635... I have this and my old systems is pretty rusty. https://i.imgur.com/b91xF8S.jpg I'm thinking about using the supersprint section 1 pipes with a OE muffler https://3a663eb0fef48c6d2d60-a88f8ebfcdb877ad223e888bfcb7f7ec.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/838884_x600...

Re: Improved shifter feel 265/5

It will need nuts on both sides. Pretty sure if fits in the top mount just fine you'll see once you try to put it in there.

Re: I need professional advice on my '87 M6

What is a "halo car"


The original hours - 50 at $120 per hour = $6

They billed me for 162 hours totaling $19,440.00.

With parts and tax - $26,582.


Wow! I don't think I would have paid that. I would have walked out and asked for a line itemized bill.

Re: Value of '88 Zinno/Silbergrau M6

sounds like it's been sitting.

I bet those tires are from the 90's or older.

Needs quite a bit of maintenance.... and they body work is $$$

I'd say less that $20k. $15-$18k

Re: E24 M6 Gearbox replacement

Yes, your m6 should have a 280 Getrag in it. However, finding a 280 that is in good condition is very hard these days. And finding parts to rebuild a 280 is just as difficult. I hear a lot of people swap to a 265 Getrag transmission. Here is a link to a swap.... http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

That's why I have a lift in my garage. I wouldn't trust anyone to do this work.


This would not be cheap unless they are very versed in e24s even then... I guess $11k

Guess we really need to see the bill to make an assessment. M6 parts are not cheap... Try doing a timing job for under $2500... $1500 would just be parts. "Euro Evo exhaust cam gear on my '87 M6 and to do the Miller MAF conversion with War chip installation"... I have a feeling this would ...

Re: diffsonline positive

What did it cost? I know most charge around $1200 for the service.

You can buy 3 or 4, e30/e28/e24 diffs for that money. Though it would crap shoot if they were good.

I've heard good things about diffs online also.

Ah, the M1 / M535 wheel. I sold one of those that came in a lot of parts I had. The Hub cover is kinda of strange not sure how you would fit it to a late e24/e28. But I'm sure if could be done.
