Hello everyone hope you and your sharks are doing well!

 I'm getting some strange pedal feeling intermittedly under braking , sometimes the brake pedal goes hard ( like there is no hydraulic assistance) and other times the brake goes almost to the floor very easily and then gets hard.... sometimes it's perfectly normal.

 I looked up on bigcoupe the symptoms aswell as having my father drive the car and the forum and my father both suggest the "Brake pressure accumulator" So I do believe that is the problem.

 However if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions of parts I should get or procedures that will further help and prevent sub-par brake pedal feel? 

 Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone hope you and your sharks are doing well ! 

 I have a bit of a curious question today ;

 Can you fit a G260/6 (from an E34 535i) into an 85' ( series II N/A spec) 635CSi , if yes great , if not why not , and is it possible with some minor changes or is it alot of work?

 I've been trying to research the answer and all my forum searches seem to be coming up empty when it comes to the E24. Not sure if it's a case of not looking hard enough for info or just not enough info to look for! (Sorry if it's the former...) 

 If anyone knows the answer off the top of their head it would be much appreciated , Cheers ! Thanks in advance

I can't wait to drive my E24 in the spring... I'm having driving withdrawals ! Thankfully I have racing games to scratch a bit of the itch !

Got a BMW 330i xDrive. It’s not a sharknose but drives nice and comfy for trips.

Beautiful Bimmer. 80s BMWs had the best lines

Nice 6 series. I used to have an E28 M5, really miss that car. BMWs of this era were definitely well built.

I’m thinking about getting another BMW. Haven’t had one for years and thinking about another.
