    You should have bought a bug! Another rare '68 bites the dust.

    There's no accounting for bad taste!

    I guess a locking gas cap would have kept those kids with rocks away?

    It seems Al is posting on the Roadfly E24 board now. He apparently has a 633csi and asks alot of questions there. Spending alot of time working on that project I guess. I did ask him to please take care of his 2002FAQ complaints. Maybe a few of you would want to chime in there.

    Why won't single stage paint match??? That's what the original paint was. If anything, 2 stage would be tougher trying to match the depth and gloss. I just had some acrylic enamel mixed (color matched) about a month ago using just the pivot bolt from the hood. Came out perfect! A good paint supplier shopuld be able to match with either type without a proble. The shop I used had the codes on file, so see if your local shop has them. If you are painting the entire car, use the stock code formulas, it will cost you less and you'll have them available for any future mishaps.

    Wow Steve, I didn't know you had that picture, even has my son and I in it! OK you guys, keep an eye out. Either in December or Janurary we are going to do another BMW day at Cars & Coffee in Irvine. Last year we had about 60 BMW's from all over and then after the morning coffee session, we did a nice drive and ended up meeting for lunch. As soon as a date is locked in, I'll make sure it gets posted. Attn: Bill Williams, start gathering up those free flight points so you can come out. My tii: My M635:

    In that case, the chain will not fit a tii, just a chain drive. Do you have them in stock Bill?

    I let my son ride in the front seat, but he is 18!

    I'd look for other sizes of what you have, whatever it is???

    Did you check with Maximillian? If Mobile Traditions doesn't have them reproduced, GOOD LUCK! But I like the way you think! Make sure you get left and right!! Now we have to find that red tip antenna.

    Black ones are prettiest! ... Do u actually have one? ;-) Cheers, Ray Who?? me???

    My vote is for 14" Panasports or Minilites. I think the 15" look too bling-bling. Of course there are always 13" factory mags, now available again, but that's just my opinion, and I am the original purist!
  16. Ray-2002tii
    I like it too! And they are right, that M635 is a fine compliment to a 2002!

    I just had the body shop get me a new windshield for my M635 from a vendor (I forgot to specify BMW glass) and the put in a Pinkerton........WHat a piece of crap. Brand new they charged me $300 installed which seemed fair until I was in the sun. Looked like it was full of pits. The problem was in the laminate, not on the outside. I brought it back and they put BMW glass in the car for no extra dollars, no questions. That afternarket Pinkerton crap is from China and doesn't save a dime.
  18. Ray-2002tii
    You can buy a new one from Maximillion for $269.00! Why bother with an old one when new BMW glass is so inexpensive?

    Put it in on the low side.

    I'm going for the wekend along with several other Orange County guys. Bringing my '85 M635 this time. Looking forward to a great drive and fun weekend. See you guys there.

    I had 3 of those small canisters on my M635 on the fuel system. 2 under the good on the fuel return line and one at the tank/fuel pump. My local BMW dealer parts guy said those are no longer available nor are they necessary. They are small check valves in the system but they tend to leak over the years so BMW omitted them. My car runs fine without them with difference in operation.
  22. Ray-2002tii
    They look fine but it looks like you need to give them one wet coat of clear. Look like you sprayed them sort of dry giving you the roughness.

    I had this problem a couple years ago. I removed my pump and took it apart and cleaned it out. The years of gook build up and restrict flow and varnish from the fuel also builds up restriction the impellar. Sometimes its as simple as the electrical connection at the pump. It is under that car and subject to alot of grime and water. They are pretty bullet proof items and seldom fail. If you do need one try as the other person said, Mesa Performance. Jim usually stocks them and has good prices.

    Steve, you might also try Grundy Worldwide. Same as Hagerty but without mileage restriction.

    Prep..prep..prep. Anyone can squeeze the trigger on a gun and get decent results, especially if the car then gets color snded and buffed. The money is in the preperation. All surfaces must be clean, smooth and for best results, take as much trim and glass off the cars as possible. Some shops do a nice spray job but don't take the time to remove parts and the final outcome looks like crap. As for paint; today most 2 stage paints are easy to use (if you follow the correct mixing ratios) and produce nice results. Shops like 2 stage because it flashes quickly (dries) and color sands and buffs great. Single stage is still the paint of choice (IMHO) for Weekend drivers and show work. I had my tii painted 27 years ago with Ditzler Acrylic Enamel (now sold as PPG), and today the car is winning shows. The jobs seemed costly at the time ($2500) but has really held up. The paint is fantastic, color hasn't faded and has a deep shine. The car is driven every weekend but does get pampered and garaged. I wouldn't worry about the paint as much as asking about the prep. Spend a few evenings taking the bumpers, trim, windshield and read glass out yourself. That will save you a bundle and you can take the time to replace everything slowly , replacing rubber as needed and end up with a great job. Good luck, I'm sure your car will look great!!
