We getting close to finishing the reassembly of my 89 635CsiA after the respray. I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome of the front/rear bumpers.

Re: WTB - under hood light assembly and/or just the lens

Bobbo, you're correct, my 11/88 build operates the same. The logic, if you need the hood light on, it's mostly likely dark out and the car lights are on for safety.

Re: FS: M30 Black Textured Powder Coated Valve Cover - $75.00

Hi Rick, I'm interested.
Is it straight and true, not warped?
Why are you selling it?
Is there any reason the raised BMW logo and the high areas can't be sanded to reveal the aluminum underneath for contrast?
Thanks, Roger

Re: PSP filter 32-41-1-136-300 question.

IIRC it takes a LOT of pressure, I almost gave up but finally got it fitted.

You may want to insert a small magnetic in the screen and/or filter area to collect the finest metals.
