Well i just sold my Scion to get a 95 525iA, i wanted something with a little more class and style. Its my daily driver right now but im liking it alot. Ive never had a German car before, so its a little different getting used to everything. Anyway just figured id introduce myself. Im Alex, i live in Louisville KY and i bartend and soon to be a bar owner. Anyway dont be shy if anyone has any suggestions on places to get parts id definately like to know.

Welcome to the board Alex. The 5-series is a great car. I am not sure of the local parts dealer, but don't be shy about using many of the advertisers here. They have decent prices and it helps justify their existance here too....

Post some photos when you can of your German beauty. Don't hesitate to ask question here too. There are many knowledgeable people here that love to help if they can....

1978 633csi Driveshaft Help.

I have a 78 633csi with a 4spd Manual. I am having problems with my driveshaft, it looks like the driveshaft flex joint but i am not sure. It's a round mount with 5 holes for bolts, outside is metal and inside is rubber. the rubber broke, and my driveshaft is loose, lucky me my car didnt rip in half. It's the connecting piece inbetween the driveshaft and transmission. i cant drive it. is anyone on here handy with older Beemers?. [???1]

here's a link to a picture of the part

Well it looks like ive caught the Bavarian Fever. I just bought a 1987 BMW 325e that is now my project autocross car. Going to prolly do the " stroker" motor on it. But she was in great condition and i couldnt beat the price. Im hooked now, and its awesome. I have a feeling this is the start of a beautiful friendship between me and BMW, haha. They got to me young since im only 20. But anyway BMWs are the coolest.

Welcome to the board. tftmc, I have briefly looked over my driveshaft in my 1980 633. Haven't got to it yet, but it should be soon. What exactly do you need to know?
