I had the same shimmy with my '83 633. Replaced the thrust bushings
and the shimmy vanished, plus the car appears to handle much better.
I had the job done by a local BMW shop, they used 733/735 bushings,
which are to last a lifetime. Total cost was about $300.
I am also interested in a 6xx registry/digest, but as you have stated,
the 533/733 have same engines as the 633, and most of the mechanicals
are same. Thus most tips for these apply to the 6xx as well.
Besides the 633 BMW manuals, I also have the Bentley, which covers
most items.
For you speed control, try to adjust the connector contacts to the
box/brain. This fixed a similar problem I had on a MBZ.
