That sounds like the casting number for the block, which would be the same as many 3.0/3.3 engines for several years. All it would mean is it's a 89 bore with the buldges on the side to accomodate a 86MM crank, unlike the early 3.0s which could only take a 80MM crank. Now to identify what you do ha...

Hello !? Read the Ignition Timing FAQ. There's a nice big fat color photo of the distributor with numbers on the wires. My 635, '79-'81 528i's all run real nice using those numbers. hi guys, i'm less concerned about the plug wires as they are the same as when i had the car running. are the valves o...

I found the sunroof relay up in the zippered ceiling panel. Then I figured out that my heater fan wasn't working. A trip to the fuse box shows that they both get power from the same bus. I guess I need to open the fuse box and fixure out why that circuit is dead. uh oh, that sucks. well good catch ...

Where is the relay located on '80 and '81? My sunroof just stopped responding to the switch all together. I use it every day, and it normally works perfect. yesterday, though, I get no response from the switch. i'm not sure on the relay, but the fuse is in the main box in the engine compartment on ...

after all i want the extra 20-30hp. but i need to get the car on the road. plus i want to make sure the 3.3 is in good shape first. I don't always agree with BMWs HP ratings, but an '80, 3.3 is rated at a whopping 174HP, or a whole 5 more than the 2.8. :shock: Torque, which is significant, is up 18...
