Solving the Euro "Dirty M30" 635csi's Fuel Delivery Issues

In the last episode of the new 635csi series we revived the car after years of sitting, however it ended with a bad hesitation, no power condition. In this episode we conquer that! Turns out this fuel system wasn't very happy!

I just bought a 1998 bmw 328i 105k miles 5speed zf manual super clean a couple days ago, I’m in love 😍

Congrats!

Sweet ride man! Afaik, the Euro version kicks out 218hp. Seems like a healthy engine, enjoy it.

Yessir 218, its impressive!

Josh!!! My man!! … dude several things. 1 - plush move on the fuel investigation and repair 2- that e24 is s3x. 3- I know I said I’d stop busting your chops, but this video of you beating on the 635 and being impressed by the dirty m30 just proves & reinforces my desire for you to do the shrick cam on the b35 for the e28… you see how blown away you were from this? Imagine the b35 with those iTB’s a shrick cam and war chip !?!!😈 dude don’t think about it, just pull the trigger!!! 🙌

[@Robertgio]

That dirty M30 is tight 👏 no cat, step up cam, 10-1.. 🔥 🔥 🔥. I got 8k with your name on it if you want me to take the e24 off your hands. 💀 🍑 bro!

[@m3nameisjosh464]

Mannn I wish I went with a cam when I did the head job. Unfortunately its too late for that, ill install and see how i like it. Itbs and stand alone should make it fun enough. As for buying the 6, 8k is a litttleee low. But were close if you’re seriously considering

[@Robertgio]

I’m as serious as a heart attack brother on both 8k and cam on the b35! I’m gonna Dm you on IG! Look out for it!

[@Khan_Art_]

Keeper for the collection? A clean e24 with nice stance is a must.

[@m3nameisjosh464]

Unfortunately not, need this to fund better things. Its not “the one”. Drivetrain is sick, but rust bubbles creeping on quarters is something that wouldn’t let me keep it for a collection car

[@Khan_Art_]

@@m3nameisjosh464 oh yeah rust bubbles are a no unless you attack them.

I have a qk question I just installed an alternator in my 6 plug and play then I started getting a misfire sd I decided to order other one from fcp euro, and still getting a misfire, now I decided to ask you if any ideas to remedy this problem, thks

Keep it!

[@georgimihalkov4781]

Great work and that car looks pretty fun to drive! So a "dirty m30" is the M90 engine right?

[@m3nameisjosh464]

Nope. 2 different things according. Dirty m30 is a b34 with high compression running motronic 1.1x M90 is a 3.5 early engine that runs l jet. Similar but not

[@coopersilberling6883]

Only the early model e24s (82 and below) came with the m90. The later 633 and 635s got the m30

[@user-jx8ho3mw8k]

Can I send my 1984 bmw 633 csi to work on it.?

[@tiitsaul9036]

Have you tested the intank pump? If it's original, it has almost certainly failed. Car will run fine without intank pump with full tank of gas. External pump will struggle sucking fuel when tank is low and the pump will fail prematurely. It's fairly easy to fit stronger intank pump and delete external pump.

[@phoenix_plays_3515]

Hey, my e34 suffers from that issue, where is that pump?

[@tiitsaul9036]

@@phoenix_plays_3515 in tank pump is inside the fuel tank. Same place where the fuel level sending unit sits. There is some kind of Chevy pump that fits in its place. Don't remember exactly which one.

[@m3nameisjosh464]

Did you watch the video? Haha. About 2 minutes in youll see me replace the intank sending unit. Euro cars in 85 don’t have in tank pumps. Only external. But this info you’re giving is great because my e30 suffered from this. Car runs, but external starves

[@tiitsaul9036]

@@m3nameisjosh464 oopsy. I was a bit distracted and missed it. I had no idea that euro cars didn't have an intank pump.

[@berwhaletheavenger]

It's a pity there isn't a plastic tank with an internal pump and sender from a modern car that can be fitted - there must be one but how would you find out? Those old Euro engines with Motronic version 1 were pretty good. Later ones with 1.3 (E34, E32 etc) were never as lively. They were mapped to run a catalyst so weak fuelling and retarded timing to get the exhaust gas good and hot - even if they didn't have a catalytic converter they were set up to run one. The same goers for 87/88 onwards 325i's etc with 1.3. A good remap to give the engine the fuel and timing it needs transforms them. My Dad (RIP) wrote the ECU software for one of the US's well known BMW tuners - I can't say who though! E30 325i's from 85-87 were so much better than the later ones - higher CR and Motronic 1.1. No way were they both 171 bhp.

[@m3nameisjosh464]

This is awesome insights to the way these cars changed. I agree the metal tanks are nightmares if the cars sit. I wish I had an early e30 to compare to later one!!

euro m30 motor in us spec e24?

[@m3nameisjosh464]

Nope euro car, Euro vin, Euro rear end, federalized bumpers

[@Rawvicious]

That’s a us rear end mixed with the euro. Euro cars still have the rear connected to the chassis unlike us cars, where you can remove the bumper with the “rear valance”. The only difference is the license plate but seeing as how the cluster is in miles and not km, this is definitely an odd ball.

[@m3nameisjosh464]

@@Rawvicious car cant fit a US spec plate, it only has euro plate provision. Climate temp is in Celsius, consumption is in Liters. Euro catless drivetrain is all there, it was just oddly federalized
