Re: The old style DOM brand key lockable wheel bolts

Whilst I do have a complete set of these original DOM / BMW locking wheel locks & keys, I do not have the packaging. But they are certainly shorter than the Porsche ones above, with a "height" of approximately 17mm. On close examination, the same 5 digit number appears on each of the f...

FS - UK RHD 635CSi for £27k!!!

I must to confess to knowing very little about the market and values of 635s in the UK, as my interest and experience has always been limited to the "M" model alone. Nonetheless when I stumbled across an advert for a £27,000 635CSi, I felt I had to share..... http://www.pistonheads.com/cla...

Re: Odd M88 engine installation - answers on a postcard please?

Those first images are of a Dinan turbocharged M88/3 M635CSi. Apparently it is a 1984 Euro M635CSi car imported into the USA in 1985. The conversion, the only M88/3 one as opposed to an S38 USA M6, was completed by Dinan in 2001. It was exported from the USA to Poland earlier this year. The current ...

Re: UK late M635CSi for sale Scam Scam Scam!

Those engine images are indeed from a Dinan turbocharged M635CSi, recently re-located from the states to Poland. The innocent owner of this car has very recently joined a facebook E24 group to introduce both himself and his car, posting these very same images in the process. I would assume therefore...

Stumbled across this video of a DTM 635 stretching its legs on a mountain pass. Rather enjoyed watching it, and thought some of you chaps might do to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgwUEfiQ8zI I believe the driver is Nelson Piquet Junior. If so, let's just be grateful that it wasn't driven into a ...
