When I first saw the advert, and without looking too closely, I assumed it was yours, Olympia57.

I mean how many of those can there be in Ireland??

PM sent!

Any further news about the fate of this site?

Any idea how someone can get onto the mailing list?

Linux, LAMP, phpBB3, DNS? If I had the faintest f*****g idea what you were talking about Brian, I would be screaming at you to send it my way. I would be lost without this site, and I genuinely believe that this the safety and survival of E24s worldwide is less secure without it. Somebody, please?!!!

Many other E24 owners at this point opt for BBS RC wheels. These 2 piece split rims (as opposed to 3 piece) are very similar in style, were found on later BMWs (E39 5 series & E31 8 series), and are available 17” and 18”. They’re often to as “Style 5s”.

You’ll have no trouble finding them on eBay.

Yep, those are the standard wheels. They’re not worth much money because there’s only one tyre that will fit (Michelin TRX GT) and they cost about £400.00 each. Expensive, but readily available from Blackcircles and Longstone Tyres. Because of this prohibitive tyre cost, many people opt for an imper...

This is desperately sad news. Whilst it’s easy to bemoan the loss of such a great resource, I have to take stock and firstly remember what a great place this forum has been. I am fortunate that it’s been available to me, so thank you Brian. Gotta respect your decision to do what you feel right, but ...

The only 3 piece split rim BBS RS wheels fitted to a 6 series in the U.K. were the metric sized (415mm diameter) 007 variant. Only the M635CSi had them fitted as standard, and only for the first 9 months (approximately) of production, when they were recalled in, scrapped, and replaced with a single ...

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.
