picked up a 33 year old MILF - non-e30 content

[Good & Tight]

The M90 has the same cam profile as the B35, that's what i've been told.
Has a 94mm bore and 84mm stroke crank, basically the bottom end is identical to the M88.

I have already created two threads on bigcoupe :D

WTF? They still haven't given me access. I applied over a month ago. ('77 630CSi)

[kronus]

You'll find that the rears are already kind of coilovers with adjusters even. Getting to the top bolts of the shocks with the rear window in is very fun. steer yourself to bigcoupe.com and explore

you're getting old. mother russia does not approve

You have euro car, 635 wasn't imported till later, and the bumpers are a giveaway.

Slicktop seems to be rare on newer cars, but my 77 630csi is slick, 82 & 83 both have usless tiny holes in the roof.

Yes, it is euro. It is a 635csi, one of the first ones. Stick 5545448 into here: http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi

hokay, you want to convert to motronic apparently from the old bmw guru at work. at this time you'll be changing a cam and going to a hotter one because i said so. suspension can be attained from ST as far as springs go. he said something about dampers but i forgot already (mahbad)

if nothing else, lets build some coil overs for you good sir.

i think im more excited to live vicariously through you than you are about owning the car

I do want to convert to Motronic, you are correct. I was wrong before, the car is L-Jet. Not sure about what cams are available for M90.

Coilovers sound good, I am going to be disassembling and inspecting the suspension this Saturday. Thinking about Polak's Alpinas for wheels, I think they are 16x9 out back which is rad.

Yes, you are more excited, considering I just fucked up my back loading and unloading a new door for it from my e30. Owww.

I bought, and then tore apart essentially the same car except mine had a motronic m90 (which is currently being rebuilt for e30 duty). Mine had too much rust to save, but its a shame I got rid of almost all the parts as mine was that color grey too.


Anywho, good luck. I still have the fiberglass or plastic front spoiler(Mine needs paint but is complete.) for those euro bumpers if you need a replacement. Also should still have the sideloader diff and steering box.

Very cool, can't wait to see where this goes

Installing a nice set in your e24 will probably instantaneously triple its purchasing price ;-)

Well, I do have my set of e30 alpina recaros. I wonder if they will fit...

[Massive Lee]

I thought buffalo leather was the actual shade/color of the material not the design?

Either way I fully support tricking out this ride.

Recaro actually used heavy water buffalo skins. Much thicker than the usual production. Basically the same as steer hide. The same seats are also used in the Euro e12 M535. But any Reacro will fit providing adapters are available. But the 12 ones are flat and easy to reproduce.

^ OK, I definitely do not have those. Do want, however.
