Greetings Big Coupians!

Bryan here, just picked up a (Royal Blue)1987 M6! Zero rust, but lots of small problems. I'm in Seattle, WA and just retired 3 months ago, so lots of time to putter around with this car. My daily is a 2009 128i which I dearly love.

I've had a number of outsized 2 door cars over the years, as I really like the form factor. These include a 1988 Chevy Beretta (I'd rather not talk about that 8-[ ), a 2001 Acura CL (Type S, and I installed a supercharger), and a 2006 GTO, which I reverted back to a Holden Monaro, from whence it came. But the e24 - that's the ultimate expression of the "big coupe"!

I learned a long time ago how important communities like bigcoupe are when undertaking these kinds of projects. I look forward to sharing my experiences with the M6, as well as availing myself to the huge knowledge base here. I've been lurking for a week or so and can tell that this forum is an invaluable resource!

Also - I PROMISE to always search before asking, but I won't spend days insuring that no one has ever talked about the issue at hand :D

I'll post some pics later afer I downsize them to meet the site's requirements.
Cheers!
Bryan

I don't own that anymore, but here's some pix from when I did. I made a serious error in letting this go after doing all the work... ](*,)
