Can't thank you enough Logan. If it wasn't for you, my car would've been a goner. You're also the main reason why I got an e23 since yours was the first one I've ever seen.derrith wrote:Glad to see the car back in your hands, finally. Enjoy!
Thanks. Looks like I'll just set it and forget it. The seat are normal leather btw... not buffalo.86GT635 wrote:It's been a long time since I've had sport seats, but I'm pretty sure that back and forth motor is attached to the frame in such a way that it doesn't come apart. You might just set it where you like it with the drill and it might "wake up" next time you need to move it. I've seen seats that didn't move for years and one day they start working again.
Car looks great man, love the buffalo leather. This is like a 735is now.
Get one!Hffvdbl wrote:I want you to know that this car has managed to make me want an E23. Bravo!
Me too... One day soon Jay.ElGuappo wrote:Looks great!
I can't wait to get our cars together.
Here's where I got the Ebay charger...ElGuappo wrote:OK a couple of things...
where did you get that USB charger? I love it, but since I will be covering my ebrake surround and covering the holes, I'll put it elsewhere.
The (4) holes near the ashtray are supposed to be (2) window switches and (2) heated seats. The ebrake console is supposed to have the (2) rear window switches, (1) rear window lockout switch, and (1) mystery switch?ElGuappo wrote:I see you have your window switches still in the ebrake console, but have the trim pieces with 2 holes installed on either side of the ashtray...wassupwitdat?
Yep Jay... Wish it was mine but when I asked Logan about it when my e28 got total'd he said you sold the slicktop to you.ElGuappo wrote:That fabric IS way too busy, good call on swapping it out. Doesn't go with the anthrazite carpet anyway.
You do realize MY 7 is Logans 7 that got you into this mess?
I've finally been able to drive the car the passed couple of days and the b35 and manual are very fun to drive. The original plan was to turbo the car, but I don't think that may be necessary anymore...gazm3 wrote:Your e23 looks great. Good to see you give it more loving.
There is just something about the e23 that makes driving fun even with an impossibly tall diff. It must me fun to drive as a manual.
I wish... lol.brendonoid wrote:It's running cold.
I'm sorry that wasn't funny or helpful.

New plugs will be here tomorrow. I also have a set of MPEH refurbished stock injectors being priority mailed to me tomorrow. The shop did a good job of making sure there were vacuum leaks but I do have an exhaust leak for sure, which is why I'm upgrading my entire exhaust. From my understanding, an exhaust leak won't cause bogging/bucking, right?stoney wrote:Wise idea to refresh the plugs and injectors as a starting point for diagnosing issues, always a futile effort if the basics aren't covered initially.
Also check for any vacuum leaks, replace any worn hoses, check valve clearances, clean any electrical connections, clean all earth points on the car/chassis, check plug lead resistances.
Just to be clear, this is the crank position sensor, right?Spen wrote:D Unit, I just purchased a B35 E34 535i powered BMW and the issue was the crank position sensor came loose from its mount and rubbed against the balancer and fried the ECU. The shop it was at said the engine needed to be dismantled to find out why. There is a BMW TSB Technical Service Bulletin that states that the crank position wheel must be checked for tightness every time maintenance is done. The book says 1mm of clearance.
I cleaned the aluminum mount and added locktite and tightened it down nicely using a feeler gauge set to a sandwich of about 1mm.
In no way am I saying that this is your issue, all I am saying is the one fellow who commented about the crank position sensor proximity to the harmonic balancer pointed out an incredibly important point about the B35 fuel management design (to check tolerance ~1mm) and to make sure it's tight.
Your troubleshooting so far seems very thorough. I will re-read and see if I can contribute anything worthwhile other than this chime in tidbit.
Is it Facet a safe brand? I was recently told the m30b35 was running great before it was pulled from an accident.wkohler wrote:Yes, that's the crank sensor. One thing I do know about those is not to use a Febi.
