...contacting Ed (MWrench) directly, as it's doubtful that he's trolling the board these days

And tell him that ole Bobbo says hi

...the painted bumper side covers, that come in body color as stock, on the 88/89 models, those wearing "world" bumpers :-k So, if you want those on your 6er, either you're in for a bit of modification, or you need to buy and 88 or 89 #-o DunDun, congrats on making the calendar 8) :mrgreen:

Right on this very board

viewtopic.php?t=16474

And what your fellow board members are trying to tell you, is that you need to provide more of your own info

What year and model is your 6er, where are you, etc.

...big fan of these wheels and OEM wheels in general, over aftermarket wheels :roll: But you really are comparing vastly different wheel styles, when you throw the 5-spoke Schnitzer wheels in there :-? Bottom line, if you ask 100 people this question, you will probably get 100 different answers #-o ...

But all I did was buy a T-shirt from you

One can never have too many 6er T-shirts

Keep up the good work

I recently sold one that was darker than this one :shock: Fella wanted that "patina" look, fine with me :roll: And just hoping for everyone to play nice, that's all [-X We've got a great board with very little of that juvenile BS you see on other boards. It's very easy to to slam somebody ...

Moderator has his watchful on eye this one

Let's play nice out there, if you don't want the part, then fine, but let's not be so nitpicky

...changed out each and every time the drain plug is removed :roll: And that's very odd that your drain plug is 3/4" :shock: Doing a quick conversion, 3/4" is just about 19mm, maybe try a 19mm wrench just to see if that's the actual size. Hard to believe that the plug would be of an SAE di...

And what a shame, given how nice she (he?) looked in the early photos, beautiful shiny paint and spotless under the bonnet

Please keep on with the story, assuming there's more to tell

Your first tire selection was way too small, too short actually #-o But you'll be fine with the sizes listed in your edit comment, and the offsets are just fine as well 8) BTW, don't be afraid to ask questions, even seemingly obvious ones :shock: I think a wise man once said that the only dumb quest...

...just use 20W50, whatever brand you like

Some people vote for only Pennsylvania crude oils like Pennzoil, but I doubt that these old mills really will know the difference

So sorry to hear Phillip, hoping for the best with your insurance man

Please keep us posted, and let us know if there is anytihng we can assist with

Not to burst a bubble, but those style 5 wheels probably don't have enough negative offset to work on your M3 :-k And those old school Rial wheels are a trip :shock: Where the hell did you find those :-k And what size are they, BTW :-? BTW, voted for the darker color, Nagaro Silver 8) :mrgreen:

Seriously, don't think too much into this, the threads are "righty-tighty, lefty loosy" #-o And you should be using a 17mm wrench on that bolt, both of them actually, won't find any 3/4" fasteners on that beast :-k Since both of these are threaded into Aluminum, it shouldn't be all th...

Sorry to highjack your post Bert :oops: But this screwdriver handle color discussion is just too good to pass up :roll: Here's a shot of the tool kit in my '80, original with even the old colored "non-Roundel" cloth, as I've had this 6er for almost 22 years :-k All the M-cars came or were ...

Uh, it wasn't "broken" or anything, amazingly looked like that as long as I can remember :-k It still bolts up like it's supposed to, but I can only imagine where all of those dents and wrinkles came from :roll: Lane, BTW, this thread should really be in the Mechanical section #-o And Mike...

Or rather, what's left of it :roll: Definiltely looks like it's made of Aluminum :shock: And the heat shield on the Cat is actually on top, not visible in the pic but would be made from steel and not likely to melt, regardless of any fuel delivery or other running issues with the car :-? MY80 was th...

Thanks for the new wallpaper photo

Love those clouds too

Glad to hear it didn't actually rain on you gents

...when Brian was requesting pix for the friggin' calendar

Here'a a shot I took for the calendar, kinda dark but love the angle

You didn't mention the year of your 6er Roy, but it's very easy to do on the early cars #-o The only thing holding the triangular plastic piece in place is a small screw that should be visible along the top edge. Once you remove that screw, the triangular piece should just slide up vertically, as no...

No worries Mauser, you're good to go

If you were trying to sell cell phones or worse yet, didn't own a 6er, would be a different story

But this is nice offer for those who could use the coupons

Hope it works out

Only a big person could tell a story like that, about themselves

And while I too think it would be a great gift for the missus, what if she decided to try it on me, during the heat of an arguement

Thanks again for the good laugh, needed that while still at work

As someone either here or on Bimmerforums said, the world bumpers have a neutral effect on the design, the Euro ones enhance it and make it more beautiful, while the American ones detract from it Think I may use that quote in the future :wink: But I think your approach is the best one, still plenty...

No, unfortunately, those are the dreaded "diving board" version, seen on almost all US version 6ers, from '77 thru '87 :oops: The world bumpers appear on 88/89 version, the last of a great run =D> BTW, I see that you are potentially either looking for a set of world bumpers or thinking abo...
