Here's an old shot of the '77 with my nephew who was about 3 years of age at the time

Guess he's around 35 now

Amazing how "pedestrian" this example looks like compared to the green shark

That would be quite the haul for me from NorCal there, Andy

Have thought many times about trying to make this event, and maybe one of these years I will

Alas, not gonna happen this year

Hope you guys pull it off

Andy, what's up with Tom

He's been running the show since I can recall, everything OK up there

FWIW, I'd be surprised if this event is held

We haven't cancelled Pacific Sharkfest yet, but will likely face the reality that it won't happen this year either

Don, thanks for that link, great story

It's very cool that BMW still lets people special order colors and whatnot

And I can see where price comparisons would lead you away from a 320i

Hope we can do a meet and/or day drive soon

Craig, did you catch this thread, re-release of the Blaupunkt Bremen :-k https://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31654 Looks very nice and period correct, but pricey, as duly noted :-({|= Motorhead, great article and photos, great to have you back =D> We actually met at Legends of the Autoba...

DraganM6, gonna move your post to the "Wanted" forum, think you posted in the "For Sale" forum by mistake

Can't help you with the headers, however, but good luck with your search

Hey Don, sorry for the late reply, haven't been on the computer for a few days :-? And also sorry, but I have to laugh about your story of the RX7 :shock: Sheesh, stolen in less than an hour, I don't miss NJ one bit [-X So, the rest of the story, goes back to 1983, when I bought my first BMW, an '83...

Thanks to Tommys 89 635 for sending me this article, artists rendition, but pretty cool

Of course it'll happen, but still cool

Isn't that a S1 centre console amongst all the S2 bits?

Watts, don't think S1 had a center console, at least my US version '80 doesn't

Otherwise, that's quite a find, surely will go for decent coin

Aaron, great story and welcome to the madness =D> I am going to send you a PM, so please check for that, as I may have some phones that you could use [-o< The missus had a few old phones that we've been trying to get rid of, with old school plugs :-? I'll send you my E addy, heck, here it is :roll: ...

Done, took about 5 minutes, what's next

Thanks again guys

Gents, thanks for the replies, managed to snag a used one from Andy (Mo Brighta), used, but then, so is the green beast #-o FWIW, it's not a continuous loop however, although these are known to be a bit on the fragile side and often "disconnect" when removing the lens :-? Speaking of which, I should...

Are you referring to the freeze plugs

These would be in the block, pressed in and would pop out should you have water instead of coolant in the engine, if the water froze

So they could presumably rust as well

Got a pic

Great grandpa indeed =D> Now that is one pretty example, even white interior and original leather dash :shock: Curious about the wheels, Beyern perhaps :-k You need to tell us more, even though it appears to be stock other than the wheels, mileage and whatnot :-" Thanks for joining, welcome to the m...

Inspiring indeed, that is some serious dedication and work

I would like to hear more about how you refinished the interior, just cleaning or redyeing

Looking forward to the finished product

Really, are they ever finished

Thanks for the kind words, rusty, hopefully we won't need those plots any time soon

Labor of love, but you can see from the original photos when she was almost 10 years of age, she was in great shape

So all I had to do was keep up the good work, for 30 years

So I'm checking out why I don't have reverse lights, certainly easier to check the bulbs first before getting under the car to swap out the switch in the tranny, although it's very unlikely that both bulbs would be blown :-k I pull the left hand side lens and notice quite a bit of dirt accumulated, ...

Korman doc, forgot I can only attach 4 pix per post

Scanned the original photos, along with the list of upgrades and mods, typed on Korman Autoworks letterhead =D> No restoration required here, as life in California is very kind to cars :-" Actually, it's been more of an evolution than anything :roll: And yes, they are planning on burying me in her, ...

Kevin, gonna move your post over to the "Exterior" forum, hopefully you'll get some responses there [-o< We had a guy out our way in CA that used something that worked well, sadly he passed away but I think I can find the info for you :-k Dynamat is supposed to work great, but no experience with tha...

Thanks guys, not sure how "well done" that was or a "leap of faith", suffice to say that I was not as "wise" as I am now :-? But it all worked out, tons of memories now, such as 18 years of Pacific Sharkfests =D> I've made so many friends through the ownership of the 6, I couldn't possibly count the...

Well, actually on April 14, 1990, so make that 30 years and 5 days #-o So here's the story, keeping in mind that there was no internet yet :-? About a year and a half after the demise of my '77 Euro 633 due to a parking lot accident by 2 inept drivers (it was parked, I wasn't even in it) I put an ad...

Sad news Pablo, but not unexpected :( I've been in touch with Pat regarding PSF 2020 and decided not to make a decision yet, although likely to be the inevitable as well, barring a drastic change from the current pandemic situation :-? Think he reached out to you as well :-k Maybe see what Steve thi...

I have a 5 speed OD gearbox in my '80 with the standard 3.45 rear axle ratio, but would love to go one step up to 3.64, if I could find one [-o< Presumed that you have a sideloader diff :-k What model BMW had a 3.90 sideloader :shock: For the record, at 3000 RPM in 5th gear, I'm registering 78 MPH :-"

I have one NOT to recommend [-X Empire (also sold as Budge) advertises with the CCA and offer 40% discounts to members, and I will admit that they do work outdoors and in rain :-? But, the "finish" starts to flake over time, I even returned one for this reason, which was honored and replaced free of...
