    Also what i have found that it was bought brand new by the sultan of brunei in the uk.

    Brent answer to your question i do not know all those specifics unless it was possibly an added option by the sultan same as the horrid steering wheel that looks to be a bmw option too but i could be wrong.

    ill take the steering wheel if you're planning to ditch it ;)

    Good luck finding popcorn, it’s thin on the ground thanks to coronavirus panic-buying.

    Managed to damage the front tyre and minor damage to the wheel rim after hitting a small metal object some nice person had left on the road.

    I have two options, locate and fit a new matching mag and a new tyre or purchase a set of competition mags, which I've heard are very expensive with a new set of tyres.

    Does any one have either a new OEM rim or a set of rims?

    Cheers

    I feel your plight.

     

    have a set of 3 - 2 rears and 1 front.

     

    will dm you

    I have started exploring options for a suspension upgrade to my 1982 635.

    The car is a car to be driven and enjoyed not a show car but also deserves to be beautiful :).

    I would like to lower the car a little to reduce the wheel arch gap and stiffen up a little. Could be say 20 - 35mm.

    I generally like a firm buttoned down ride but i am also concious that our roads are usually pretty rough and compromise is necessary.

    The car will be a street car used for just the occassional track laps at Hampton for fun and my driving pleasure but will not be raced per se.

    Options I am aware of;

    1) Considered coilovers but most recommendations I received were, if not racing, stay with conventional struts / shocks

    2) Billi B8s with H&R sport springs - lowers @ 30mm I think. Will this create negative camber issues and will the ride be firm but still acceptable for cruising? 

    3) Billi B6s with ... springs. Not sure whether B6 is compatible with lower springs and if so what effect is?

    I would welcome feedback from anyone with experience on the above or other alternatives.

    Thanks guys

    Greg

     

     

    Greg, can I ask what setup you ended up with in the end?

     

    im in a similar position and it’d be good to know what direction you opted for
