New Member - 1984 Euro 635CSi
Hello, happy to finally join the forum after a few years of lurking! I live in the Minneapolis suburbs and am a long time BMW enthusiast. I currently have an E30, a euro E28, a euro E24 and an F82 as my daily driver.
The E24 is a 1984 euro 635CSi that I purchased in Atlanta in early 2012. The car needed work but was a solid base for the most part. Since 2012 I have been focused on working through the mechanicals and sorting some electrical issues resulting from a rough federalization process.
The car hasn’t seen a lot of use in recent years due to work and family commitments, but I’ve started planning the next phase which will be focused on cosmetics and include a glass out repaint. I also plan to remove the M30 as part of the process to clean it and the engine bay, reseal and redo the harnessing.
Here are a couple quick pics of the car as it currently sits. I’ll start a project thread soon detailing the work I’ve completed so far and to document the upcoming work. I look forward to leveraging the knowledge and experience on this forum as I work through this over the next couple of years.

Welcome!
Looks very nice your Shark.
Irish license plate? Did you know they drive on the other side of the road?

Thanks! A front plate is not required for the car here so the IRL plate was just a decoration to fill the empty space on the bumper... I'm originally from Ireland so I usually remember which side of the road to drive on635sharknose wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 5:49 pm Welcome!

Nice to see an Irish 6er! Where are you based? I'm from Galway originally and still get home quite a bit. It's been a long time since I've seen an E24 on the road there

I'm down in South Kerry .
There's actually quite a few E24's up and down the country now .
Let me know if you're ever down this way on your travels home .
Good luck and keep in touch.

Fingers crossed I can get back next year when international travel is feasible... I'll certainly keep you in mind! We usually take a few days for some sightseeing and we haven't been to Kerry for a long time :)
Hope all is well under lockdown.
