Re: Molding removal

Thanks so much, I will try my best!
I am lucky to potentially have access to another parts car, so might have a second chance!

Molding removal

I am soon going to repaint my '85 635csi, bringing it back to original Burgundy color. I have a dilemma on removing or just taping the trim that goes along the roof edge above the doors and rear window. I read somewhere that it is very hard to remove it without bending/damaging it. Does someone here...

Re: Clutch/flywheel compatibility

Yes, but Item#10 that is the whole clutch set #21219069012 seems to be the same for 633 built after 3/1984....really strange?!

Clutch/flywheel compatibility

Hi, I have a possibility to buy a complete re-surfaced flywheel and clutch with all associated components (pressure plate, pilot bearing) from 1984 633. 1) Would that complete '84 633 setup fit to my 1985 635 with G265 gearbox? 2) Would 1984 633 have a lighter flywheel than my 1985 635 or they would...

Re: FS: m30b33 engine, trans, megasquirt, wideband O2

Hi,

I would be really interested in MS plus harness, possibly some sensors.
Have a 102 turbo setup lined for my car so this could be really perfect for me.

Please email me if you would be willing to sell just that!

Re: Normal coolant temperature

Hi, I wanted to post the update, good as a reference for others. I did another good system flash and installed new water pump. Then I filled the system with blue Zerex , but at lower concentration as there is no freezing here. Did roughly 1/4 Zerex concentrate and 3/4 distilled water. Car is now coo...

Re: Normal coolant temperature

Thanks for all the comments, they make sense. Re. radiator replacement, would a nissen brand commonly available for +/-$200 be good option or would it make sense to "upgrade" to full aluminum versions available on e-bay? Asking this as I am planning to turbo-charge the car in the future (a...

Re: Normal coolant temperature

Thanks, I think I will try changing a water pump next; already got a spare on my shelf. Radiator would be more expensive option; there is a Nissen radiator in the car, so was replaced sometime by PO; not sure when.

Normal coolant temperature

Hi, I am trying to confirm if my 85 635 is actually running hot or if it is normal temperature. In normal, light load, AC not on, I am just under the middle mark on the gauge; looks perfect. Once the load increases (AC on or longer up-hill, driving at higher rpm's) it climbs up to 2/3, maybe even 3/...

BBS BMW RC090 face (center)

Hi, looking for just one BBS RCo90 wheel center / face.
Do not need the rims or any bolts/hardware, just one center as mine got damaged when cheap Amazon wheel lugs snapped/bent.
Please contact me on [email protected]

Thanks, Robert

Re: UUC Swaybars

Yes, was aware of that, I got the non-M once. It seems I will have to cut my mounts from the car and weld M-style on the front while really not sure how to solve the rear once. The supplied rear bushings/brackets are WAY bigger than stock (actually same size as on the front) and there is really no p...

Is there someone that successfully mounted UUC sway bar set? I got a set of their 27mm front / 22mm rear sway bars including adjustable front links and bushings with brackets. It all looks really well made but really do not understand how is one supposed to mount much larger, 2 bolt hole brackets on...

Re: Spax lowering kit

So, finally all installed, drop was as advertised, about 35mm; it does seam like the front drooped slightly more than rear which is nice as it gives me the place to add front fixed camber plates to the top of the struts. I checked the wheel camber after lowering and it is 2-3 degree on the rear (one...

Re: Spax lowering kit

Thanks for reminder, will definitely make sure to pre-load the suspension before tightening control arms. Finished pouring the 2-part Urethane into the bushings and they came out really nice; now hope the extra stiffness this ads to normally very open bushings will not cause some unexpected problems...
