Re: Would you trade your 635CSI for a Z3 M roadster
Hmmm...let me think about this for a second. Nope! Wouldn't trade any of my E24s for Z3.

Re: 1985 635 Csi (Euro) 5sp - Jet Black
Yes, on my Zobelbraun 628csi, the side light markers are installed in the bumpers. To me this is ideal for a euro example that needed to be federalized for USA. The best is to NOT have any side light markets as this is original Euro style. When the euro cars are brought over to US, importers were re...

Re: Price too high?
I have to agree that the price appears on the high side. But it also looks quite clean, especially if it is rust free CR euro. Hard to find, but not impossible. There is always a better one out there hidden away from us enthusiast. I too wouldnt sell my gals, but if I had to, I probably would have a...

That's probably the track that I'm going through. Although I was thinking of redoing my interior I'm actually deciding to get rid of it. I will plan to do a track/daily driver car.

Re: Fresh vs Attitude. opinions?
That is so crazy. I'm lucky mine is white, but nothing has started to come off yet. I have to wash it once in a while just to be safe. I don't want to have a car cover on top, it will scratch the paint more. Good luck on her, do you happen to have any pics of both? If your car has the original Alpi...

Very nice stable you and Mrs Sharkfan have! As much as I love Alpina, I'm glad that I didn't get a taste of these special Alpina cars. Once you are at the top, it is hard to come down. Hopefully one of these days, but with the market headed upwards, probably still just a dream for me. Great enthusia...

Re: Fresh vs Attitude. opinions?
You are lucky to have both sides here. About the paint, is the clear coat peeled off or the actual paint damaged? You could probably save the original paint even if the paint is a little damaged and most of the problem is in clear coat. That's what I've seen with most sixers and other cars and peop...

There is however a huge difference between gentle patina and an air of " I don't really care about that ." Don Yeah, definitely not that attitude. Like maybe getting hit with the tiny rocks on the road (which is almost impossible to avoid here). Im starting to like the small spots in fron...

Hi Roku, Sorry to hear this! There's a lot that's special about that car and you've got a lot of great history with it, but good also that it's staying local for you.

Re: What did you do to your E24 today?
Sadly it is time to let one of the gals loose. Just not enough time to devote to her and over the years she needs more attention than I can provide. I have found a new home for my sweet 628csi that is still shining with my favorite all time interiors (Sport Buffalo Nutria). Sad, but still sweet to h...

Re: Evaluating the M635CSi for purchase
Thanks for sharing your pictures. It looks like the car is a Frankenstein - M6. The front spoiler is a standard Euro model, not M-Tech as should be. Disappointed to not see the Buffalo Nutria interiors as stated in the spec sheet. It really is rare to find them these days. This car will need LOTS of...

Re: Which would you keep?

Looking for a nice 18" staggered set of AC Schnitzer wheels for my 540iT (E39). I understand the E39 has different hub size, but I can use the hub centric adapters for 5x120 standard BMW boring. I will need the appropriate offsets as well. Thanks, I hope someone has a set taking up space in the...
