Stereo upgrade.

A friend has a 1993 m5 and he just removed the stick stereo system with cd changer. He wanted to know if I would be interested in it for my e24. I looked everything over and feel that the complexity of installing the amps and wiring may not be worth it. Thoughts? Thanks.

Re: Tan Sports Seats

Hi Marc. We talked months ago about the sports seats. I would still like them. I’m going to be in Portland Or a week from today at a Volvo Swap meet. Was wondering if there was any chance of meeting up.

Will I need a harness for both passenger and drivers side or just the driver’s side? If you have a harness or harnesses I would buy. Thank you.

I do not have access to the harness from the 1986 parts car. Will any 1986 and newer harness work? Does it need to come from a sport seat car? Thanks for any information.

Good morning. I have a 1985 635 CSI. The car has a leaking at the timing cover. With that I was thinking of going ahead and having the timing chain replaced at the same time. The car has 257,000 miles and runs really well. What other things should I have done while I have this done? Thanks.
