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.

1985 635 CSI Timing chain.
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.

I need to refresh the struts on my 1985 635 CSI. I was just going to buy new bilstein B6 struts but wonder if I would be more satisfied replacing the springs. I do. It race the car. I enjoy long drives to the beach. I do like good handling. What is the best set up?

Here are some photos. The interior is in good shape with the exception of the bottom of the drivers seat. Plan is to replace struts and anything else that it needs and eventually repaint.
