I was a kid living in London, UK at the time and Iit was bought with my 25pence allowance from my parents. Great memories! I have hundreds of brochure...

Re: Wheel polishing media recommendations please...
Bobbo ,If your wheels have already been polished then then you really only want to remove the oxidisation on the surface and then bring up the shine again. I've polished many a wheel plus components and use what's known as mops and soap. The mops are used with a power drill and the soap ( polish ) i...

No mention of the damage to the LH wing ...
Two new wings + all the remedial welding + finishing work + full windows out respray ain't going to be cheap if done properly .

Yes , bolt straight in .
I have fitted plates to allow my drivers seat to sit a further two inches rearwards to accomodate my 6' 4" frame but the standard bolt holes align.

Re: 1988 M6 Widebody on Bring a Trailer - Unique Piece
Not a fan of any type of add on body additions or modifications on the E24 I think you immediately lose the grace that abounds from the original design. I can admire the work and effort involved in this one but I'd rather have the body stock, plus there must be an enormous amount of bodyfiller on it...

That's a nice old player Ken and if you had been closer I 'd have had it .
FYI the cd 3.5mm socket will accept MP3 player input direct from a Ipod or similar giving you vintage looks with modern operation.
Win /win ....
