If you're in Drive and all is normal, what happens if you select Sport or 1-2-3? All normal? But if it's having a funny turn and you do the same, does nothing happen? Or does 1-2-3 operate as it should, but for Sport it's as if you are in it already? And if your going along happily in D, and D is i...

So I just wanna add that every other gear works perfectly, I don’t think it’s permanently stuck in sport mode, but I think it thinks I put it in “3” rather than “D”…

Hi guys, My ‘89 has been having this issue when I first acquired it but it’s been an on and off problem. Sometimes when I put the shifter in “D”, the gear indicator won’t light up in the gauge cluster and the car doesn’t shift into 4th gear. I’d be doing 70 mph at 4000 rpm on the freeway whenever th...

You could perhaps contact Slownrusty, he is doing a similar project. He is converting a US type to Euro. FYI, the US type bodywork is identical to the world bumpers bodywork (world bumpers fit to a US car without bodywork modifications). https://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31983&...

I agree with "635sharknose",I swapped my 86 to World Bumpers about 6yrs ago. As for swapping, much easier then swapping Euro Bumpers. IMG_1567-1.jpgIMG_1568-1.jpgIMG_1563-1.jpgIMG_1564-1.jpg I think some mounting pieces and drilling work are needed for the Euro bumpers iirc. Not sure how ...

I imagine you are looking for the wrap around though.

Thank you for the reply and yes, I’m indeed looking for the series 2 wraparound bumpers.

I guess I just don’t like how the world bumpers look on the rear end. It just looks unfinished to me for some reason lol

I’ll be sure to let you know if I do manage to find a pair of Euro bumpers.

Cheers

Hi, I’m looking to convert my world bumper car to Euro bumpers (not sure if it’s been done before) but I’ll need to source some Euro bumpers first. If anyone has a full set (front and back) please feel free to reply to this thread or DM me! If I do manage to find them I’ll have a spare pair of world...

Oh well, there went my planned road trip with COVID

Hi guys, So I was looking for a rear spoiler for my car that is an 89 with world bumpers and found something like this: https://www.classiceuroparts.com/product/euro-m-rear-bumper-spoiler-lip-apron-valance-for-bmw-e24-m635i-638-630-635-82-87/ ... which is said to only work with 82-87 Euro wraparound...

I’ve been having this exact issue and it’s been on and off since day 1. Sometimes in the winter it fixes itself. I’ve been to the local BMW mechanic several times, but the issue still isn’t completely gone and they haven’t quite located the issue. I’ll try the fuse thing when I do have the time. Tha...

Welcome to Bigcoupe! An E24 is as reliable as you make it. If all maintenance has been done, all the failure points taken care of (and there aren't many), it will take you anywhere. Thanks, the car had some work done to it. The old alternator died and took the battery with it so those were replaced...

If it happens it will be my first time doing a road trip in my E24. I just don’t know how reliable they are for road trips. Plus the AC has been sketchy so I’ll probably have to find some other way to stay cool in the car.
