Hello Try contacting Layne at https://lcwylieco.bigcartel.com/ He makes a custom bracket for the M30 and S38 to convert to Sanden compressors. He uses and recommends the 709 Sanden compressors vs the cheaper (not by much) 500 series. At least that was the case for my E30. He can also provide the San...

I am no expert but I believe the mushroom style shifter was the original equipment on all E12 and E24 based 6 series cars. Alpina modified cars had their own specific mushroom shifters. It was a common thing to swap back in the day, easy cheap and by many considered an “upgrade”. Also consider, thes...

Hello You need the mushroom style shift knob. Not the one with the boot attached to it that is more readily available. The original inserts with the M strips or without as Roger mentioned can still be ordered from most BMW dealers. I searched for a long time with not success stateside. I ended up bu...

Hello Ric,

Happy New Year.

Do you still have a full set available? I don’t recall if these are in poor condition on my 88 M6, will check this week.

Thank you

Max

Nice shark. I have been looking for pictures of an 88 or 89 E24 with the early style double factory side and front lower spoiler stripes for some time now. Glad you posted these. I've been trying to decide if I want to put them on my M6. Can you post another one or two of a side profile? The only si...

Very nice Rob, I enjoyed it very much.

I hope you don't mind, I posted the link to the video on bimmerfourms E24 section. I gave you credit for it.

Thanks for sharing.

Max

Wow, I'm not far from that.

Do you have a website, whats the address. I'll have to pay a visit with mine when I head up that way.

Max

Wow, 10K now thats cheap for an M6, especially an 88 with no rust and in this order. I had not seen it in the for sale section but if I had I would have said thought there is no chance that it was the real deal. If its in good order with no engine work needed then it was a steel. Even if it needed s...

Greg, Way to go, great price. Did it come with a motor for that price, LOL. Your just teasing us! Where is the WIFE photo, for giving all of this up! Is the Ferrari next? Am I missing something, how do you know the price? I don't see mention of it. Greg, Nice M6. Does it need any engine work? Enjoy...

Unless its been modified to have newer world bumpers and lower front spoiler I'd say its either an 88 or 89 model year.

Hi Max, Thanks for your kind words about Crystal :D I've seen the pictures of your beautiful 53,000 mile '88 M6. Your car is outstanding !! I wish you could join us at Sharkfest #10 this weekend. Crystal is prepped and ready to depart in the morning. I'm meeting Lee (e24Mpwr) for a mini-convoy to K...

Very Nice. What a unique color you have. I like it a lot.

Max

I'm slow ..... but my staggered Alpinas are finished in time for SESF #10 :D http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/2748/p1010010gg.jpg By r_e_l at 2012-04-21 Truly nice wheels (and rest of car)! I like your resort towel too. I wish I was going to SESF in order to see this beauty in person. You make me...

I can't specifically address the case for a 1988 Canadian e24M6 but I can for a 1988 e28 M5 ad I think they are very similar. I flew to Montreal and bought a Canadian e28 blk/blk M5. The only think I had to have done was change the speedometer over from km to miles which I had done before I crossed...

Thank you both for the kind compliments. Have had a few more people test drive the car, but still looking for the right buyer. I think you should pull it off the market for a couple of months and then realist. In that period if someone is specifically looking for this car they will find you. I am v...

1988 M6 Canadian Spec 86000 KM or 54000 original miles, original paint and interior. All stock.

Very nice Ed. I love that you went the preserve and restore direction and not the modify one. I'm looking into changing my wheels now, considering the 17" Style 5's or your Alpina's. Have to admit I was always in favor of the Style 5's but after seeing your pictures I am reconsidering. I'm movi...

Max - that looks like a well preserved masterpiece for sure! Hope your 6'er arrives safe and sound in Miami. And don't be tempted to pimp it out given your new hood! Mark Hi Mark, Yes, it is well cared for by its previous two owners and me since I've owned it. There will be NO pimping done on my en...

Unique color for an M6! Hi, When I started my search I wanted to find specifically an 88 and a uniq different colour. I was very excited when I found this Canadian Spec car vs a US one. The Canadian spec examples are more like the Euro's. They do not have all that extra fat. No rear AC unit, no air...

Hello All, I posted this on bimmerforums too. Thought I'd share the pictures on here too. Sorry if the pictures are too large, any mod please feel free to resize, I don't know how and used tinypic.com to get them posted. After a little over two years of moving the family around, first from Canada to...

Does anybody have or want to have a caravan from the east coast of Florida (I-95) or points north on Thursday? I'd like to have at least one other car with us along the way. Lane I'd love to have gone and will join you next year, I just arrived here today (moving to north Miami area permanently), m...

Is the gear knob original? Must be the highline version... Hello, I do not believe the gear nob is original to this model. It is an M gear knob but unless it was a Canadian option which I doubt, its been changed. It does look good but with nothing shiny and metallic in the interior I feel it looks ...

Nice car. Now tell me you got it cheap and I'll be doubly jealous. Dick Hi, I am not sure what cheap would be. It was an old man that owned it locally. I'd seen him wash and care for it for years. He lost his drivers permit last year and I asked him if he would sell it. He wanted $9000 Canadian but...

Hello, New here. I posted pretty much the same thread on bimmerforums dot com so fro those of you who frequent both sites sorry for the boring double viewing. New here. I have always had an appreciation for the Shark for some 15 years now. Some Quick facts I have owned it for just under a year now. ...
