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...

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.

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.

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.
