Thanks Mike! I could not locate that info on RealOem.

Hello All,

Wondering if anybody has exchange front seats from a E23/733 and fitment into an E12 ??

In particular a 1978 733i.

Thanks!

Thank you for the tip, worth a try!

Hi Mike, Apologies for not seeing your response sooner! Yes, I have seen the bowden cable for sale but I was thinking there was a separate part where it hooks onto the pedal linkage at the top of the engine that I circled. It's a weird screw on eye hook that snaps over a ball fitting. Trying to avoi...

The attached photos show the end of the cable that attaches the accelerator pedal that syncs the automatic transmission shifting with the rpms, for lack of better description. As you can see I have rigged the part that attaches to the lever with wire so it doesn't disconnect. My question is has anyb...

Trying the link of the noise again...

Got under car as suggested and there was no wobble in damper while running, and not loose when wedged with big screwdriver. From underneath is louder sounds like it is internal in engine, maybe the oil pump? Hopefully the attach drop box link will let you hear the birds chirping lol. "C:\Users\...

Yes, it seems the noise goes away after I spray lubricant between the pully and damper. Water pump is only 2 yrs old.
