That is a really good idea! Didn't know it existed.

I have seen the E34 armrests in E30's and E28's. There are adapters available to make them fit.

Jasa Carbon From Portugal also makes one.

The AFM cover is from a later model, but to my knowledge, they all fit

Suffice to say that trying t clean that waffle cover on the AFM is next to impossible

Followed your example! Just bought a AFM cover at the local BMW dealer.

Such a great story! I love it when a car stays in the family for such a long time!

My grandfather owned many BMW's as well, among them several 3, 5 and 7 series, sadly all of them are demolished.

I rather have one 635 instead of 4 316's

Very nice article!

Like the colour.
It's shines brightly!

I would buy a E24 comfort seat for the time being, these are not expensive and a direct fit.

I have 17 inch Style 32's on my E24, the 17 inch fit perfectly in my opinion.

Good job!

Good price

What do think about this one?
Sold for $500.000, that isn't too much for this car, it is worth much more.

Check this page for the correct part numbers and buy at your local BMW dealer or the internet.

I think you need part no. 62111368299

Thanks - fingers crossed they do just need a bit of a clean? Any recommendations or is a bit of meth and a little emery cloth OK? If I can get those two windows working with little effort I will be a happy man - its the only thing the wife comments on! Just open them up and look for burned spots (s...

I do think these are still available at the BMW dealer as well, but at the same price.

Welcome Tom, looks great!

The windows not working is probably due to dirty (burned) switches, I had that as well.
I opened up the switches and cleaned the contacts, all good after that.
I would not advise to buy the Chinese eBay/Amazon replica switches, just clean the original ones.

Rob,
I have a 260 for spare parts, what are you looking for?

Wow, that looks good!
My steering wheel needs some love too.
Asked a local company to rework it, price € 400,-
The cover you have is € 100,- on Amazon.
Your photo convinced me to buy the cover.

I have an 87 model, which is different from yours.
On my car they are situated (under the hood) on the right side just behind the headlights. And the other one is left from the suspension.

That looks quite good! Didn't know they were making these.
Can't this company advise in how to install it?

Thanks, was thinking of doing that but then I changed my mind. I would like to make it as it is on the late models.

I am converting to ellipsoid headlights.
Now I noticed that the headlight hits a piece of metal frame.
Does anyone know how this is constructed in the later types (1988/1989) E24? There must be more space.

This is how all white looks like on a late model E24.

Check the filling nipples on your car, are they R134a, like on the photos, or R12?
Just Google the nipples and you will see the difference.

I would go for the all silver finish of the wheels, looks fantastic.

And the area around the license plate looks better in black in my opinion, but that is a matter of taste.

Well, we get cold air in our vents here as well in Holland, I think it related to the ambient winter temperatures :D . Just kidding, now serious, you aren't getting any heat correct? That the air conditioning is engaging and not working is most likely caused by insufficient amount of refrigerant. Is...
