Just got mine! I believe this falls into the category "You know you've got Shark Fever when..."

Sadly I'm skipping this year, Bobbo... make sure to drink an extra beer for me!

The Hack Mechanic is at it again, this time with 'new' wheels. Good choice, Rob!

I'm in for a set, IF dwcains or someone else can confirm this will work for the S38 as well as the M30. Although the compressors are the same p/n on RealOEM, annoyingly I can't find a bracket drawing in RealOEM for my M6 (build 9/87) that corresponds to the one for the 9/87 635i I've copied below. C...

And now for some windshield wiper work:

Perhaps someone on the board can sell Rob the extinct part he still needs.

After a pause for work on a neglected 2002, the shark brake work continues:

One secret that may or may not be posted is to buy a 6-pack beforehand and have it chilled and at the ready prior to starting.

Hey Dug, not sure yet, but in typical fashion, I'll likely be attending Legends again this year, but just as a spectator :roll: Uhhh.. you betta be there! :P I'll also be driving up, but I decided not to show Sabine after my embarrassment on the green last year... who knew the ///M area was full co...

OK, I believe this falls under the category "to each his own", since it's certainly a labor of love, but an insane one. Regardless, this will be tough sell at $85K... unless I'm mistaken about the confluence of the markets for sharks and drag racers. :o http://bringatrailer.com/2014/08/04/...

Now that's what I like to see. Keep those prices moving UP! I'm with you in theory, but MAN all of the BMW prices at Amelia Island were inflated. These cars came from the Bill Young collection and are immaculate, but still, even with the 10% auction house premium considered these prices are going t...

Ken - not to digress too much here, but what's that red car right behind you? It's not on your list.

I totally flaked on posting this in a timely manner, but here are a few picts from Nikki's meet & greet in Thousand Oaks on the 18th. A great group of folks showed up (more than I expected... I guess has Nikki has that kind of draw!), and we set up a special E24 corner to show our support for Ni...

Will look into coming down from SB to be there. Have to check w/ my Social Coordinator that we're not committed to anything for anything that weekend (besides the loonie bin, of course).

Thanks very much for this link. I have aspirations to replace my diff seals soon, and this would be a nice addition to the job.

Sure hope so. The current one has pride of place on my humble cubicle wall.

Brian - if time is short (as it was last year), I'd have no problem with the same photos as this year.

Hey Phillip - Sabine and I are still raring to go. I should really do some cleaning under the hood, but then again this is a more laid back show... no need to open the hood if I don't get to it!

Re-read your thread title...

I have had one on back order for a couple of months myself according to my friend who works for bmw they are having a massive relocation of stock to another warehouse and a system update so there may well be parts in stock it's just that they can't find them. He has been struggling to get parts for...

Thanks, Pat - keep me posted. It's time I checked with one of the dealerships I occasionally deal with to see if they show availability in Germany.

Here's a bump for the SoCal Vintage Meet. Last year's meet was a lot of fun, with hundreds of vintage cars making an appearance. This being the 6th year of the meet, the E24 will be a featured car! However, the organizers have only gotten a handful of 6ers registered so far. So get off your booty an...
