Random stalling problem & other gremlin related issues
So, my '86 635 has been off the road since the end of 2013, due to a non-starting issue & loss of power when overtaking, that seemed to be beyond the ken of the various groups of clowns that looked at her! :evil: Anyway, eventually a replacement ECU sorted those particular problems. I've only ac...

Hi Ralph, She cranks very quickly on the key (always been a fast starter). I think I have a mental block concerning stuff like the ECU :-? , I must admit that never occurred to me. Would that still be a likely problem, given that she'll start straight away with the no.5 plug removed? I was also wond...

Help needed! '86 635 runs, but will not start on key?
I've been using my 635 as my daily driver with no problems. A couple of days ago, I was about to head back from a 3 mile trip. She turned over but wouldn't start. I waited a few seconds, tried again & she fired up, no problem. I did the same journey yesterday. She wouldn't fire up at first (from...

U.K. - Selling my 5-speed '86 635. How much is it worth?
Hi all, I've been agonising over this for ages! I need to sell one of my coupes. I was going to sell the M6, as she needs quite a bit of work, but I keep having to spend ?? on other things & haven't quite been able to afford it. The 635's the tidier of the two & has been pretty well looked a...

Oil Pan part no. for UK '86 635?
My sump pan needs replacing due to a large split. I bought one that allegedly will fit the six, part no. 1708 347 225. I've tried to check it against "realoem.com"s listings. It shows the blow-up of the parts, but doesn't give any part nos. for some reason. Worried that it maybe an e34 par...

Oil in gearbox is creamy-white?
Not on the BMWs actually, on the 5-speed ZF 'box in the old Aston. I assume this is a BAD THING? This is with the gearbox cold by the way. My only experience of "white" oil is if it mixes with water (head gasket etc.). I can't see any way of that happening in a gearbox though. Weird, I jus...

I had a petrol one for a while. Couldn't even hit 30 mpg with it! My 25 year old 635 is more economical. I don't know how you're breaking 30 mpg in a 6. That would be ludicrous for me. On a long distance drive on a boring duel-carriageway, I've had 30-33 mpg in the 635. Maybe the combination of lig...

So I've been fiddling for an hour or so with no result. The earth for the battery's fine. I've tried swapping the starter relay for the horn, no difference. Incidentaly, I tried starting without the relay in at all, she still tries to turn over, that doesn't seem right? I've tried to give the starte...
