Re: Looking for later AC compressor
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...

Re: OEM M6 Shift knob
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...

Re: OEM M6 Shift knob
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...

Re: door weatherstrips Front and rear window
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
