Just back from the beauty parlor, OEM front spoiler and fogs, brown over tan pin stripe.

Wow, looking great, Nick =D>

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

Nice color selection on the pinstripes as well :wink:

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 \:D/

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

Interesting item in the fuel line on the firewall :shock:

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

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

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 :-k

My throttle linkage is just that, all linkage and no cables [-(

Lemme know, finding more things different between our cars \:D/

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