Re: What did you do to your E24 today?
Dang, you bag her for the winter :shock: Sux that you guys have to go through this, but much of the states also deals with "real" winter, Canada, I guess lots of other places in the world does as well :-? Driving our beloved 6ers is year round here in CA, provided it's not raining :roll:

Smog test prep reveals heat related damage and deferred maintenance

Re: FREE M10 copper lock nuts for exhaust manifolds
Darn Bert, I thought you were gonna take them off my hands
Well, I ran the P/N in realoem and it turns out that they are for attaching the downpipes to the manifolds, amongst other locations
So 12 would be more than enough to get that job done

Re: Rear window only goes down, never up
You might want to try cleaning the switch itself
After working on my passenger side motor, the window was still slow moving
But cleaning the switch with a quality electronic contact cleaner, it moves up and down as it should, now

Can't believe how much work you're getting done, considering it's winter

Well, one side, I think, as the right hand side would require removing the fuel tank, but so far, so good, IIRC

Re: WTB Passenger Front Fender E24
That doesn't sound correct, the later series 2 cars have bigger/wider fender flares than the series 1 versionLooks like (1) PN from 77-89
Not doubting you, but realoem isn't always correct
