Re: 1975-89 e24 Colors…

That's great, thanks for sharing. I do like to see compilations of the multiple colours this car works with.

But, gotta say, I was a little let down when my 212 Nerzbraun Metallic didn't make the cut.

I never thought I'd buy a brown car. How good is this!!?

Re: Name of Electric Seat Style? Sport or Comfort Seats?

You're welcome.

Keep us informed of your reupholstering work. It would be good to see what is involved, even just a before & after.

Re: Name of Electric Seat Style? Sport or Comfort Seats?

These are comfort seats - mostly flat: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/9PMAAOSweW5VNyDH/s-l1600.jpg And these are sport seats, which have prominent side bolsters and are designed to more securely hold the driver/passenger in place for the purposes of enthusiastic 'sporty' driving: https://i.ibb.co/72...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!

Nice work Song. I'll bet you were kicking yourself with that box cutter and the brand new paint. But you successfully fixed it up, no harm done, and the black pinstripes look good - as does the foam kit.

Re: All new dancing gear - What a difference!

Agreed, those wheels are so much better.

Car looks very very clean too. No wipers!

I don't think I've seen chrome trim over the wheel arches on an E24 before. I've seen chrome guards, usually on the Series 1 cars, but not trim like yours.

Haven't had chance to use mine for a little while, but yesterday was sunny so I went for a quick run around town.

I think the Henna looks good, really suits the 79 era of that car.

Are they TRXs?

Gosh, that is impressive. The interior is in stunningly good condition, especially for it's age. Nice to see the old trigger action door handles, the old analogue clock and the big green defrost button, the ceiling grab handles, and the boot on that one is almost spotless.
