I am 70 now but when I was a young man in the 1980s I worked at a BMW dealership and got to drive those things. I had a blast driving the wheels off the 635M but the 633i was a better drivers car, it was lighter and more nimble than that big shed. I am interested to see how you get on with it, there looks like rust will be a problem, good luck young man!

Hi Mat. I had a problem with an ECU a few years ago. £700 for a replacement and nobody was prepared to check or look at the ECU. I gave it to a TV repair man as a last resort. He checked it and found that somebody had put the wrong polarity to it. It burnt out 15mm of track and blew a transistor. He resoldered the track and replaced the transistor. No other damage to ECU because the blown transistor prevented the current travelling any further. Total cost....£13.50.....brilliant.

I can hear the fuel pump, waterpump, the correct manual is the dog leg left reverse getrag box... You will need a new flywheel to install and the trust bearing. Also change the timing chain and rails. The autobox is probably ok, just top it up and change the filter before you do the manual conversion. Some of these motors had a problem with crankahaft end float so the crankshaft pulley would shake itself loose. To bleed the cooling system its one 3rd coolant in that 12.8 litre system. Also check the airfilter and clean the idle valve using brake cleaner.

Hey I'm really glad you're doing an old car too. In 1995 I bought a 1976 BMW 2002tii in bright yellow. Heavy but quick. I drove it on Castle Comb and was featured in a classic car magazine. I had lots of mods done to it in Hastings but the monthly running and repairs were more than my mortgage. It broke down too often and I had a baby at the time and needed something problem free so I replaced it with a Sierra. Now I drive a mk2 AUDI TT. That baby is now 29 and can drive my TT. She lives in Berlin. And BTW I was one of the first people to ever drive a TT in Bavaria at the factory and in the countryside around Munich.

Even back then they suffered rust after a few years and I had gearbox (4 speed switchable auto) problems, one issue was a speed sensor on the output of the gearbox, it’d put the car in to a limp mode. It wasn’t a bad auto and when these are running correctly they are quite a quick car. I had mine on a rolling road and it made the numbers ok.

@MatArmstrong, I myself have a very nice E24 633 and I love the car. Please finish this project, I've been watching the progress of the body work on Yorkshire Car Restoration but not much progression recently on his channel. I have been anxiously waiting to see what your vision becomes. I will even fly over and help you do it!

Just finished getting an engine rebuild on my 1988 635csi and added a little spice by putting in a 60mm turbo. The thing is an absolute rocket.

Mat, this is a great video! I used to go to a dealer near to my old school and tried to get a job there, but a provisional license didn't cut the mustard, lol. This was my 4th favourite car after the Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 6.9 2nd - Ferrari 412 & Ferrari 512 BB joint 1st.

Peak classic BMW. Try replacing brushes of distributor cap or cleaning them, they may be burn out or dirty. A new distributor cap may be necessary. These are not old cars or modern cars they are in between the two.
