Re: What did you do to your E24 today?

Took delivery of six new inlet manifold rubber bellows for the M635 - these were unavailable for the last few years and my 'The Man' had warned me mine had started cracking when he did the tappets last summer, but acting on a hunch from a different BMW forum I rang BMW and they were in stock at a re...

Re: Adding an interior light to an otherwise dark place

I am struggling to find the pictures but I am sure I posted them at some stage but for my Series 2 car I utilised the pop-in plastic cover for the sunroof motor. I drilled six holes in it and in the centre four I put four bright white LED's which come on when the 'B' pillar lights come on and in the...

Re: 1985 M635CSi - my Great White Shark

Good to hear it’s all well. Unusual for any car to pass the MOT without any advisories- well done! I've had to dig deep into my pockets over the last few years on my Fleet so they are nigh on perfect now - this old thing also passed without advisories the day before - but bear in mind 18 months ago...

With the super skinny led striplights that are easily available these days it should be easy to tuck them up and under the edge of the centre console and have them shining down that way shouldn't it?
