That is one clean Bav. Some may not know that each user can create an album and they need to click on your alias to find it.

Badass stance and black out trim... Like it. same question as Bob, what is the suspension? Clean engine. Was the engine compartment restored when you dropped the new engine in? If so, what did you use for the NLA lower firewall insulation?

Any more pics...?:wink:

Boxed rear trailing arms

also have 7/16 Alpina wheels with 225 and 245 widths f/r

Anyone need a sideloader limited slip? I have a 3.07 lsd from a euro 635CSi.

Additional Vehicle Information

The thread to the pictures is by highlighting Community in the above dark brown headder and then click on pictures and alblums.

The oil coolers on this car are as follows:

The engine oil cooler is comprised of a piece that bolts on to the block where the stock oil filter goes, but also has a thermostatic valve to route oil to the oil cooler and then into the filter - cast aluminum which says purolator on it. I've got two spares of this piece. There is then an oil cooler which bolts up where the original battery goes and has an upper angled bracket from Alpina (at least they were making them about 40 years ago).

The differential oil cooler can be found by looking in the following link:

http://www.bmwmobiletradition-online.com/bmw/partgrp.do?model=5331&mospid=47199&hg=33&fg=05

part #7 in the second frame and the whole of the third frame. The cooler drum now seems to be made of unobtanium!

The original owner also modified the instrument cluster to add an oil pressure gauge and a voltmeter! Really cool, and I've still got his schematics on how to do it! Added a picture of it to the photo set
