Re: Why is my AC hot in front and cold in the rear?

There's a part which BMW calls a voltage regular valve for A/C mounted in engine bay, IIRC part 64511380659, This valve becomes inoperative, it can be taken apart, cleaned or replace it. There are write ups which claim when this valve is functional the front A/C blows cold and is often over looked. ...

Re: What did you do to your E24 today?

Remove the speaker cover by prying it up with a pick, paper clip, etc., to separate it from the speaker pod it self. It the same method as removing a speaker cover on most speakers.
Once inside, the speaker is attached with screws/bolts. More info is available via searches on this forum.

Re: Discard Air Suspension Switch E24?

I removed the SLS in my 1989, if IRRC the switch wire goes into the spare tire well (access plate) and connects to the SLS hydraulic pump in the well (yours may have been removed), disconnect at this location, make sure you waterproof the hole left by removing the wire. I removed the hard lines as w...

Re: Repair to black sealant/wiring loom

Gray, I've used NP1 in similar applications, you'll do fine. The product carries an expiration date, check the tube date. IIRC, just before the product cured, I applied a very very light coating of lacquer thinner on the sculpture tool to prevent the NP1 from sticking to it and finished the task. Ro...

I've used Liquid tape to cover/reinforce the failing, crumbing plastic connectors in the engine bay, works great. BASF makes a sealant NP 1, IMO best sealant product on the market, you can mold it before it dries in place, apply several coats to build up the that area at the wiring loom. Seems to la...
