Wow, looking great, Nick

That would be the '87 only version with the slots for an oil cooler, which you don't have, of course

Nice color selection on the pinstripes as well

You need to post a couple of shots under the hood, I for one would like to see and compare to mine

Initially he was giving me one off a '79 parts car which he had in the shop. It ended up being in worse shape than he thought so he took this spoiler one off his own parts car. I cannot say enough good things about this shop.



There are lots of pics under the hood on the auction page: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-bmw-633csi-9/

Yep, looks pretty much stock under the hood

Nice to have a new coolant overflow reservoir, they tend to yellow out over time

Interesting item in the fuel line on the firewall

Looks like a filter, I don't have that (not one there, anyway ) and I don't recall ever seeing one there

I wonder if it was added on by the P/O, does it bolt to the firewall

[Nick_from_Brooklyn]

Those questions are out of my depth. The shop owner told me it's very close to original and pointed out what was not but I can't remember exactly. All I needed under the hood was a wiper motor and pump. Aside from that minor stuff, cluster lights, indicator relay, locks, sun roof adjustment nothing major.

Bobbo,

It looks like a second filter or it was moved to make replacing easier.
Doesn't look bolted to the firewall, just sitting there.

I second Bobbo on the great and unique color combo of the spoiler, body and stripes!
I looked at the auction pics and man, someone took a lot of time to take and post so many detailed pics. Congrats on getting into a fun car and many the years of blissful motoring ahead!

Nick, do you have cruise control

Looking at the black sheathed cable going to the TB linkage (runs between 2nd and 3rd cylinder intake runners), I don't have that either

My throttle linkage is just that, all linkage and no cables

Lemme know, finding more things different between our cars

[Nick_from_Brooklyn]

Definitely no cruise control. I have a folder of receipts from prior owners somewhere.
