Nice, but shouldn't the electric seat controls on this Highline car be located on the side of the seat bases adjacent to the door sills?

I thought that only earlier cars had them next to the handbrake......

#500 is back up for sale. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1226426 Looks nice. But I cannot help but wonder if £48k is an ambitious figure for a 153k mile car. It makes the similarly priced #250, with a 100,000 fewer miles, seem a relative bargain, but then that car has remained unsold and on th...

Sounds like you have an awful lot to do Hazy, but here at least is the newly released music solution that has many owners dancing for joy...

Good luck with your endeavours.

These two threads may provide an alternative suggestion, and perhaps a little inspiration.....

#390 appears once more, this time on eBay for £35k. Mileage remains just under 100k.

I wondered why the doors were locked.

I wasn't aware of it until now. Might try to squeeze in a visit.....

When I bought my first M635CSi (an S2) so many years ago, I would frequently lament that I didn’t own the more contemporary and modern bumper treatment of the Highline cars. I longed to replace mine with a later, more “fashionable” model. However when the time did eventually come around to changing ...

I'm told the car still has the Pine Green cloth interior throughout.

I'm glad to hear that's the case. Personally I think it's a great colour/material combo, and not just because it's rare.

Wonder what happened to that £4k re-trim?

There is a strong and enthusiastic E24 owners group from Thailand on Facebook, called "Shark Squad". A member posted some images of the car on their group page. I know nothing about the sale price, but judging by the pictures the car is in the same condition as before (cosmetically at least). I reac...

#091 has been exported to Thailand.

It was indeed bought by automotive photographer Mark Riccioni, snapper for "Top Gear" magazine & website.
He's gonna turn it into a track car.

I have not seen it for a couple of years now, but when I did so, it was just after the current vendor had bought the car (for a bargain price) following a long period of storage. I felt then the car was an excellent, original, low mileage, unmolested example, needing nothing else than a thorough cle...

Posted by UK specialist Classic Heroes, this time lapse video features the strip and rebuild of an M88/3.

I recognise this car. It’s #242

Up once again at £40k, this time with Old Colonel Cars and looking shiny and bright after its paintjob.

From personal experience, an alternative is to keep an eye on German eBay. I’d be surprised if one didn’t pop up sooner or later.

Beyond that, surely someone on here has one they would part with?

If you have rear seat headrests, the first aid kit sits perfectly into the compartment under the hinged flap.

I have been giving thought to one of these.
How does the illumination of the head unit compare to that of the rest of the dashboard? My concern is that it is too red, and not orange enough.
A night-time picture with everything would be enormously appreciated!

Looks like #410 has just found a new owner.

A shadow-line diamond/pearl car with M Technic bodykit really appeals to me (I once owned a very similar car) - I'd love to see this brought back to its former glory.

Nice work

Ron does it again!

I might be wrong Pod, but I read the advert as the car having two owners after BMW GB. Either way, I agree the estimate does appear a little low, especially when one considers the numbers being thrown around a few years back, when 348 was identified as being a "star" of the BBC's cringeworthy ripost...

0760005 is now off eBay and is entered into the H&H auction at Duxford Aerodrome on October 16th. There are numerous detailed pictures on the listing. Estimate is £30k - £35k. https://online.handh.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/118/lot/45938/?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F118%2F%3Fpag...

If that is indeed chassis number 0760005, then I'm pleased as punch to see that car still around. #5 was a BMW UK press car (originally with the registration number B463HGM) and featured on road test in numerous UK car magazines. On the plus side, it looks to be a largely original car (body-kit, spe...
