I do, I do! '79 635! Got a spare rust free sunroof for me? And a motor for it?

one here too 1980 635

1988 M6 here, I'am lookingf to get rid of the self levelling suspension she has & get some advise on what to replace it with. Where from? thanks. The self levelling suspension on her is making a thumping sound. Like a strut has come loose or something. I'am thinking of replacing them with billstean shocks in front & rear as well as H&R springs. Any better suggestions

Sounds like you're on the right track w/ H&R and Bilsteins.

Recently purchased 1987 L6 with 75,000 miles .
Previous car was a 1984 / 733 which I retired with
290,000 miles. New car is black with white leather

I've got an 84 633 csi and upgraded original shocks/springs to H&R and Bilstein sports. All good and the lowering was very nice looking. BUT the side effect was a fairly quick deterioration of the suspension (bushings).

So, what my mechanic and his friend (guy who worked many many years for BMW) recommended was to upgrade suspension to 750 series - heavy duty, including aluminum lower control arms. Your M6 probably won't need that, but just FYI.

My girlfriend has a '85 635 Csi. Does that count?

JC - are you coming to the SE Sharkfest ?

Prairieman -

I had to back out of SE SF 2 weeks ago. :(

I had actually had reservations at one of the B & B's had to give them up too.

THe car just demended too much cash thrown at her lately :

Tranny job
Driveline job (one month later, jerk that did tranny didn't bother to warn me about CB, Flexdisc, etc about to go, or I would've had them done then, and I asked him too!!!)
Exhaust
Powersteering rehab coming (box, accumulator, booster, regulator)
AC R-134A conversion coming.

All since FEB.

It was that and a few other things, it was a give and take.

I had to cancel a MArdi-GRAs trip to New Orleans as well. (did that first in effort to save SE SF trip, then driveline went.)

It Really pissed me off to miss it, even more so now that I'm seeing all the pics from this past weekend.

I will be there next year with a vengeance, the car (hopefully) will be almost fully restored by then.

I even drove up there with Nat and Kai in January when Kai came up for the initial look-see.

The tranny went one week later, then it started.

It was cancel sharkfest trip or cancel Germany trip in fall (which may happen anyway depending on the "state of things" here soon)


Crying on the inside -

JCS-

I do, I do

1985 Euro 635. Freshly restored.

My dad has a 1989 Red 635CSi

hey - have no idea where you are in Cali... but all the California six series owners are getting together THIS weekend !

too far from the prairie I'm afraid for me to attend.

check it out at: www.bmwsharkfest.org for details.

I hear they are expecting 60 cars.

Yeah, I know, I'll be there. I signed up quite a few months ago. I have been to all the 6 series drive around here. Us 6 series guys are pretty cool.

Here is some pictures from the previous runs. In the first one, I'm way off to the right, the second picture, I'm the first car.

i just bought a '83 633CSi, get to pick it up tommorrow! :)

I just bought it a few weeks ago for $400. Its in good shape. The only rust I have found so far is from rock chips on the hood. It idles rough, but runs good. The interior is a bit rough too. It'll be a fun project. :)

Heres mine, a 1988 635CSiA and a 1981 633CS Callaway turbo that Im parting out. Let me know what you need. I have the sun roof and Ill check it out for rust.

Holy old thread batman!

Hey Dubby, there are lots of Utah BMW guys here. We hang out all of the time. Check out the southwest regional section.


Welcome to the sickness. :D

I do, I do !!!!!

1989 Highline Auto (L6) in black - awaiting total rebuild although it doesn't need it.

Project is to make something very special and something I can be proud of, 1991 M5 engine - Getrag 280 5 speed manual gearbox - M6 Diff - ALL waiting to be installed - will change colour to Candy Blue or similar and very big alloys.

OK since this thread is active again and I am new shark owner:

89 Highline - auto (Darn it) 161,000 miles white ext/blk interior. I purchased from an auto auction with destruction title, but the car had only a light hit in front. Still runs, looks and drives great. Awaiting repair now. Will have to pull some strings to get a title!

This car was too nice to scrap and I will have a great car for not a lot of money. Purchased new front air dam and got some used front end parts from funkmasta. Looking forward to getting it fixed. Its at a friends shop and he is going to work it in when he can, meaning when he doesn't have anything else to work on, he will work on the 6er.

If anyone is interested I would sell it with all the parts to fix it. I have bought a lot of other parts such as new lens, switches etc. that are not bad but needed to be replaced due to wear.

i'm on my 2nd one.1st one purchased last november.in my quest for 6'er parts i came across the 86 i now own.it was in better shape so i sold the 85 and purchased the 86 in march.almost have 5k miles on her in that time.plan on owning a 6 for quite some time.

Count me too...Wait... I just ordered my first ever personalized tag...
87-SHARK
Does that count for TWO?

Picked up my '85 last October, the poor baby was in really bad shape. She had been sitting on blocks for over a year, didn't run, brakes were shot, interior was shot. It "was" (possibly still is) a poor excuse for a parts car, nice straight body with no rust though. I got it in the garage and had it running in about six hours, lots of TLC for the past eleven months, still alot of work to go, but it is my daily driver at this point. It's a blast to drive.

I've fixed a thousand (at least it feels like it) little things, windows, dash electrical, sun roof, attempted to buff out the paint, but it's gone, and a new clutch. I've got wheels from an 850 on it to get me away from the TRXs. It's not a pretty baby like most of yours (yet), but we're getting closer every day.

Have two 1980 635 euros, one is a parts car. Hope to get back to the building project as soon as work slows down (about a month). :drink1

Yeah I've got a black '86 Aussie Delivery 635CSi.

Bought it in November last year, spent a lot on it since, great car, wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Posted a thread about it here a few days back, photos too.

Cheers,
Iain.

1988 M6 with 143k on the clock. Royal Blue with the Lotus white interior. Haven't got to enjoy it much, as I am on the road a lot. I am in Malaysia until October.

1985 635 CSi ... just purchased. Looking forward in dropping some money into it. :D

Just brought my new (to me) 85 635 home. Had to relicense in Az and I had to buy a BMW cause my plates read KENSBMW. Prior was an 81 633.

84 633 5spd here (for sale)

i just got an '84 633csi in decent shape. if i clean it up and smooth out all the little things, how much will it be worth? The motor has 160k on it.

Please tell me that you aren't just looking at a 6 to make money???

Just purchased a 84 633csi, couple of weeks ago...looking forward to tinckering and driving it

Hi Lee - I see you've found the forum over here - Welcome -

-You know who I am - :D

you guys got any pics of your finished sharks, so i can get some ideas for color/rim combos? and does anyone know of a set of headers for a 633csi?

If I got another one, I would be dead meat. Hmmmm, what a way to go!!!

From what I remember 185hp and 195 ftlb/tq

Ofcourse they have those upgrades. A BMP magazine I have shows all kinds of upgrades.

Beautiful car. What is the wheel size? Those are the ones I want. Where did you take the pic.? Doesn't look like North Carolina to me.

with the gracious help from evlgt,i finally have a pic in my sig,but it is posting the instructions also.the pic does the car justice,as in,it looks better than in person.it will probably be at least a couple yrs before i have it where i want it.

1987 L6, 114k (dashboard in prisitine condition). The only flaw is the previous owner placed that crappy window tint in the back window (the passenger windows as well) :mad . I have spent several long nights trying to get that crap off, it is taking forever. Who would do such a thing to such a great car?

Red is always good for a 6.:redspot

my 1st one was red,but i only had it for about 5 months and i found the white one while searching for parts.i may someday swap this one out when a rustfree,lower milage example comes along.i'm still cruising along at 204k and it's mostly stock except for poly upper bushings and HD bilsteins.i've yet to hit the rev limiter,but it see's 5k frequently.like i try to tell my son,you can use all the miles you have left at once,or take it easy and stretch them out.i dont drive my 6 like a grandpa,but i don't abuse it either.

89 635 here...till it sells anyway ;)

I havent posted mine in a while


Just after I bought the 635. The 633 I drove for many years, but was coming apart at the seams. This is a pre-suspension picture.

About 4 months after I bought the 635. The lady could'nt understand why I was so pissed.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/superr5/crash2.jpg


I had pulled the turbo motor out of the 633 to put in the 635, so I still had the 633 shell, luckily. I cut the back of the 633 off and repaired the 635. It just needs paint now.

wow !

this thread has legs. :redspot

shortly after initiating the plea for E24 owners to stand up and be counted, waaaay back in 2001, I managed to kill a large deer with my sixer, badly damaging the car. bought a rusty euro for the sheetmetal, eventually installed the euro powertrain, along with a complete re-spray. the car is my daily driver. my youngest son got his driver's license and after a deliberate search, located a 1979 633CSi and drives it daily.

Yeah me too :redspot

The E24 was my wife's dream car when we bought it back in 1995. Now that she has a newer 3-series cabrio, the 6 just does not get driven much anymore, so it's for sale. I know I will miss it:( , so hope it goes to a good home...:D

Had an 81 633 which I dearly loved but then decided to buy a 635 cause I couldn't get the cruise to work on the 633 (no one would or knew how to work on the vacuum cruise). Bought an 85 635 and am in process of getting it reliable which is a chore. Often believe I should just get out of the 6 and into a late 3 or something more reliable. But then I take the 6 for a drive and change my mind again. Don't know how to get pics to here but have one on my Blog on Roadfly. Can you move them from the blog to here???

Just bought it; having it inspected in MD, but everthing works well.

88 635 csi here. Bronzit
Appleton, WI

95K. All original. Everything works. Got it in May and drove it all summer, went to Chicago and back last Saturday - almost 500 awesome miles.:buttrock I will be putting in the garage real soon now for a minor restoration, new paint, clean engine/compartment, modify to R134. Will post pix when I can.
