Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
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

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
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/

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
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

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
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!

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
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

Re: 1980 633 safari - front spoiler complete
Definitely no cruise control. I have a folder of receipts from prior owners somewhere.
