Hi, Bryan- As people on this forum may know, I also own a 91 850i along with the E24. Don't be freaked about maint the 850- it's no different than the E24 except no need to adjust valves. Timing bits should be replaced? I've never heard of this as an owner for the past 3 years and a part of the E31 ...

Thanks for the bit of eBay info, Ralph!

I wish I had known about the Ferrari connection as I gave away TRX tires that were OK.

It just goes to show- your crap is always worth $$$$ to someone else.

I'm surprised there has not been a reply to your post! I use to live in the Atlanta area many moons ago- if you're moving to Gainsville, Road Atlanta is just down the street! If you need used parts and someone to do service work on your E24, you should investigate Strictly German in Braselton. I bou...

"In Laws"......I think that pretty much covers it.

If another run of shirts are done- I'd take one XL. I'd also go for a polo too.

Forgot to mention- The 850's take two of everything- two batteries (in the trunk) two fuel filters two air filters two ign coils two dist caps/rotors two cabin filters but just one oil filter If you do regular maint and service on your E24, you can easily do the same on the E31. I read where they sa...

I agree with Brian. These are one of the coolest cars. I've owned my 91 850i for three years after lusting for one since 1991. As usual, buy the very best example you can find from someone who had the means to support its service and repair requirements. It helps if you know someone with a BMW GT1 f...

I'm not sure that the owners of these cars are car geeks and into them and I'm guessing they consider it to be like a toaster. It's an appliance. They haven't looked at the owners manual or even know if they still have it in the glove box! Exception- every once in a while I see an older gentleman in...

I had a shop troubleshoot my E24 over 10 years ago to see why the a/c wasn't blowing cold air. They swapped the fittings as mentioned above so the 134a juice could be pushed into my old system. Nothing was changed except the brass fittings, which are slighty larger than the original fittings. He fil...

What's with those black 'modern' wiper blades?
At that BIN price, I would expect correct blades and original radio.
But that's just me.

Hi, Ralph-
You make a good point. You can "fix" the rust, but it always seems to come back unless you completely replace the panel with new metal.

Kirsti and I were in Monterey in August- we thought of you when we stopped at a Chick Fil A for lunch!

Hi, Stewey- Rear a/c units on Canadian models seems to have been an option. I purchased a genuine Canadian 1988 E24 from a local two years ago- he was the second owner and it was originally sold by the BMW dealer in downtown Vancouver- and it had no rear seat a/c unit. Just looking at the photos- th...

Commodity codes are used to classify freight by shippers- the higher the numerical commodity code, the more expensive it will be to ship the item. The codes are based on paying out claims for damage and loss. If you use a commodity code of 150, this is for more fragile freight than if you used commo...

Kirsti and I really enjoyed the day at LOTA- had a photo taken of myself in the i8, that was cool.
Great to meet you, Bob, and the other E24 and E31 folks there.
I've never seen so many E24 M6's in one spot!
/henryc

I'll be at Legends, but driving my 8 Series, not the E24.

And a photo of the Henna Red car on the field:

Did anyone see that Henna Red E24 that was at the Seattle BMW Puget Sound Chapter Heritage Show and Shine yesterday (Sunday)? WOW- IMHO a perfect color combo, Euro chrome bumpers. The factory sport stripes. Looked very nice. Owner did a lot of work. Won first place in his class, but lost out to an E...

John-

That is a nice exterior color that looks even better with those wheels!

Hi, Bryan-
Just a heads up-
your Craigs link above has "expired".

JAWS-
Right on.

If someone is trying to correct crash damage ( repair the results of an irrate girlfriend/wife who took a baseball bat to the front of your E24), your set up is an excellent, economical option.

Perhaps the convertible was done by ASC- note the front license plate. American Speciality Cars was known for doing convertible conversions to hardtops.

Those seats on that M6 look really fresh!
/henryc

Looks good in the photo!
What is that paint color? Looks blue?
It also has that factory stripe that people love.
