1987 M6 - Marwin - caferacer
Hi there,
after selling my 635CSi (viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4041) I had some pause with just one Turbo 628CSi but I needed more... It´s a shark disease, you know
I was looking at lot of adverts and also driving to cars personally many kms, but found nothing interesting which wasn´t rust bucket. I was quite desperate but after that I found this at facebook E24 pages:
with this text:
1988 M6 Royalblau
- Tons of suspension modifications, Racing Dynamics Stuff
- Rare ACT wheels
- Brand new Potenza RE-11s 245/45/16
- Half cage
- Triple adjustable cloth Recaros
- Split Second Box
- Dinan Chipped ECU
- Upgraded MAF sensor
- Super Sprint Muffler
- Interior partially stripped - remaining pieces are grey leather
- 152,000 miles
- Runs and drives great
located in North Carolina, USA
so I got in touch with owner and found a way how to get in Europe after 2 months I got the car from transport company then load it to trailer and heading home with a stop at US restaurant to get US car used to our country slowly so car is home now but I don´t have a lot of free time and weather is not nice so I am mostly just exploring the car and making plans

Re: 1987 M6 - Marwin - caferacer
I have some plans
the big ones are BC racing coilovers, Hartge wheels and Megasquirt ECU
then removing half-cage and install rear seats again because cage isn´t road legal here

Re: 1987 M6 - Marwin - caferacer
Suspension exchange is done including rear axle too
Next are brakes - front is from e31 850 - 324/30 with 4 pot Brembo which is fine. I will upgrade rear to ventilated discs from 540i e34.
