Re: 1979 635CSi Euro - Henna Revival Project
Thanks guys! Bobbo, I have a garage that is insulated, so it stays warm (though it isn't heated, per se). There has also been a lot of warm weather lately that has allowed me to work on some of these items. I was also really focused in the fall working on these projects late at night as I got on top...

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
Any tips on your restoration process of cleaning prepping priming and painting the wheel wells? Where do you get your paint? Are you using glausurit 1k paint for the henna color? How do you paint the nooks and crannies and not get overspray or runs? You make the restoration and refinishing look so e...

Re: Early Euro Rear Bumper - Questions about Mounting Hardware
I have a set from a rear bumper that got damaged. Not sure how much I'd ask, but an option maybe if you cant find elsewhere.
It got hit in the bumper a few years after this photo.

Re: Early Euro Rear Bumper - Questions about Mounting Hardware
The square hole is intended for a carriage bolt to prevent it from turning. The square locks in place so the nut can be tightened from underneath.

So A few updates since a month ago. I ordered belts and hoses and the waterpump and fan clutch only to find out that I got the wrong width drive belt, rendering it too long.

Re: B35 head on Euro B34
Robb, If I had euro B34, I would go with B35 head and intake, maybe consider M1.3. Though I am not sure the specs on the other head you have, I have heard good things about Hartge engines. So I guess I would check to see if the hartge head has the same size valves or any different size. I would exam...

Do you think the temp sensor signal inside the afm could be faulty? That is another critical input for the fuel mixture calculation.

Re: Oil Pressure Warning Light
Cold oil will be a bit thicker and if parked nose up, it may take a bit more to build pressure. Nose down will really help it! Check the low hanging fruit first: your M30B35 oil filter housing may be draining empty and have to refill every start... If it is an m30b35 and easy way to check is let it ...

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro
Good news! I put the later oil cooler housing on the car and no more leaks! It is smaller diameter and has a small drain fitting from an 81 635 or 735 and uses the o41x filter. Though I do sort of miss the Red oil filter housing. https://drive4corners.com/wp-content/usergallery/hashtag/20240226_1858...

Re: Anti-roll (sway) bars
Larger swaybars such as e28 m5/m6 size of 25/18mm will tear mounts, speaking from experience using Ireland engineering sway bars on e28 chassis.

Re: Adding Lambda Control to a Euro ECU
Following eagerly to see your verification.
I don't have an o2 sensor in my euro cars at the moment, but this is obviously a good option. I am sure it would improve cruise fuel economy like the ljet with lambda on actual US E12 cars...

Re: Anti-roll (sway) bars
Yes e28/e24 interchange but note that the rear bar will be different for '83/'84 models due to the diff cover. Also bigger bars will require reinforcement to the chassis.

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro
Played with this car and came to the conclusion that the oil filter housing was damaged. Maybe I tightened it too much or something, but the lower section where the bolt goes through doesn't look correct. I started up the car and saw a small drip at idle coming out near the bolt head. I have a spare...

Still available.
Here's how they look installed in a car. Obviously shown is an early euro model. The set for sale is not the exact one pictured but is identical parts and condition, maybe even better!

Re: 1978 Euro 635CSi rev issues
On a '78-'79 the CTS is located under the intake manifold with the jules verne device. It is behind and hard to access. So this makes it harder to measure and replace the CTS.

I like that you found a different (non typical) set of wheels that are still period correct. Sometimes RC090's get old to see because you see them so frequently...

Re: Returning With A Neat Find: 1984 M635CSi
Yasin, I noticed your toolkit for this car is incorrect. It looks like you have the E28 tray instead of the e24 tray which has all the wrenches in a vertical position next to each other instead of 3 and 3. You can usually check the production date on the tray as well to know when it was produced. ht...
