Re: ‘85 M635 Lowering Options

I have Ireland Engineering sport springs installed on my ‘85 euro 635csi. You can purchase them here: https://www.iemotorsport.com/product/sp ... s-e28-e24/.

They drop the car 1 inch F/R. Here is a photo:

Re: Euro Spec Engine Managment

Spark plugs look healthy and wires test alright. I did tap in to the oxygen sensor connector both at the firewall and at the sensor and noticed that the voltage is erratic and correlated with the erratic idle of the car.

Re: Euro Spec Engine Managment

Bump. Here is a video of what I was describing at cold start: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0fzrapq9d32din/IMG_2656.mov?dl=0 Here is a video of the car's closed loop idle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hysn6q6hp3y58zj/IMG_2657.mov?dl=0 I understand that the M30 may not have the smoothest idle, but this fee...

Re: Buzzing Noise/Groan from Intake/Valve Cover

Sorry I can't hear from the video. I would use a stethoscope at first start and see if you could locate the area more accurately. Noise has a funny way of traveling. So I'm assuming it was an auto and you did a 5 speed swap, because Euros used a 265 I think. Also, use the stethoscope on the alterna...

What kind of mileage has the engine done? And have the valve clearances been checked/adjusted in recent times?
Car has seen 106k miles. Last valve adjustment was summer 2018 and about 3-4k miles ago.

Buzzing Noise/Groan from Intake/Valve Cover

Hi all, I have a strange sound coming from my intake runner/valve area (assuming valve train related.) The timing is obscure - It only happens when the car is slightly warm and lasts for approx 2 mins of idling/driving. Ie. after cold starting the car, it makes the noise when the car has ran for 1-2...

Euro Spec Engine Managment

Hi all, I am experiencing what I believe to be a fuel trim issue with my 1985 Euro 635csi. It was a Kat (K engine code) car from the factory. My car experiences a rough idle and various flat spots through the rev range. I have done the usual throttle body cleaning, ICV cleaning, vacuum leak tests, c...
