They are chrome plated steel so can’t be anodised.

Thanks, Ron - had no idea they were chrome. Thought all the silver trim was anodised aluminium?

I’ll take a set. Thought you were getting out of the game

Do you have pics of the front end?

Looking for structurally sound chrome bumper corners - ideally drivers side (right hand drive). Can be scratched as will reanodise

Hey folks - just doing some research for myself. I'm new to E24 ownership and my SI lights do not light up - but I'm not sure if that is because they were reset when I bought the car...or if the batteries have gone (which I suspect is likely). Can you confirm that the SI lights come on when starting...

Thank you sir!

Great insight here. Both my mirrors are not working. I've cleaned the switch. The plug the switch goes in to seems to have 12v coming out on pin 4 only (seems normal). When I plug the switch in my multimeter says there is 12v going across all the pins. Is that right? Can't be? Wires appear OK from w...

Trying my luck, but looking for left and right, good condition kidney grills...

Would happily take a set too

For future reference - its a 3mm hex. With the plastic nut in situ you need a reasonably long hex key to get to it, with nothing on the shaft (like a rubber coating or anything as that will foul the hole. Unfortunately for me I couldn't get the the manual mechanism to engage, so wasn't able to get t...

Hi all, I've got a gunky rear window. Originally it wasn't working, quick switch swap got it going (up/down) but I then managed to get it stuck in the down position. From what I read, not uncommon and likely some gunky old grease. Problem is my toolkit has everything but the long reach allen key to ...

Hey Landshark,

Nice - what are these based on? I'm assuming they aren't custom for E24?

That looks absolutely lovely! If you are looking at an empty hole where the sunroof motor cover should be I'll be able to help you - I'm at the "Which box is THAT in?" stage of putting my 6 back together and I found a spare cover amongst a host of other things I didn't know I had! (It's i...

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. Thanks - finger...

Welcome to the insanity, Tom! You've scored a winner. Low mileage and no rust. Treasure it. That's not dirt in the instrument cluster. It's "flocking". Made that way from the factory. I guess BMW thought it was elegant. :roll: I mean in the indicator lights there is a build up of somethin...

Hi all, I'm Tom from the UK. Have finally dipped my toe in to classic cars and thought I would really just dive in the deep end by buying one of my two dream cars. I've loved the E24 ever since Quentin Wilson did a 'buy now' tip on Fifth Gear on UK TV. Anyway, managed to get a 45k mile 635 with larg...
