Re: The Vintage 2023 Hot Springs NC

Well I made it last year with no issues. Plan to be back this year with new paint and interior, maybe functioning A/C.. that said, last I heard registration was at the max of about 450. To be clear registration is just for your car, you can park across the street and walk in no charge. Also the Frid...

Re: Rubber bumper repair

Very nice and glad you were able to repair. I have been looking for a left side bumper end cap for my 87 M6 for months, all of them I find have the mounting rusted out.

Paint single stage or clear coat

Pretty sure I know the answer, but looking to confirm, I am getting bodywork and paint on my 87 M6, it's red (cinnibar?) and I am looking to keep it as original looking as I can. I recall seeing repainted older cars with clear coat that just didn't look right..

This is glass out, trim off, from a place that specializes in BMW restorations and cheap isn't the priority, just want to know if it's rea...

Not sure what vintage work they do, I have discussed having them work on my e24 M6. I have used them on my 323i.. they seem very knowledgeable and are highly recommended by a few of my BMW/Gear head friends.

I realize this is an old post, but I had contact info for a place on the west coast that did it, but pricey like $5K and that was a few years ago. If your interested I could dig it up.

My recollection is that they have no problem with customization, I know I added a drain cock to mine and they sent me a drawing with a lot of details to confirm. I guess I am suggesting get a drawing and compare it to your existing dimensions. I can tell you the fit was very tight between the distri...

Re: e24 M6 Ballast Resistor?

Well, my understanding is a "ballast resister" is usually in series with the ignition coil and ground. The M6 not having one WOULD explain why I couldn't find it in the ETM. AutohausAZ clearly thinks there is one on a 87 M6, Bosch p/n 0227901013, see link below http://www.autohausaz.com/pn...

Re: Miss fuel

You could always drain the tank, but then you have the issue of disposing of the old gas. That said, I agree with Dean, that's a pretty small amount of diesel.
