What have you done to your BMW today?

Took the M635 out for a run - E24’s get lots of attention now especially when they find out it’s the full fat ///M with the fabulous M88 engine.

Old pic but it looks the same today...

This is my 635CSi - old pic again and not looking quite as perky now...

Do you want to adopt me? I can expand the household bmw count by 2!

Most of the online ones don't work anymore - quite honestly the easiest way to do it is to pop into a BMW dealer and ask at the Parts Desk. Give some guff about needing to know what the initial spec was so you can use RealOEM to check some part numbers on the car and ask them nicely to print off the original spec from their system.

Plus - get some pics up! Everyone loves an E30.

Will get some pics today, it has never had rust issues on mot history, last tested 2018, but has had some rust cut out and new metal let in, rear arches, tiny bit on a sill, bottom of both front wings, just not finished, as the owner of 23 years ran out of time sadly. all in primer where repaired.

Solid underneath, quite a lot of it cleaned and painted with what looks like Hanmmerite, all new discs and pads, calipers overhauled and painted, I doubt it has, but the engine is so clean, my mate is convinced it has been out for a rebuild. Lots of new suspension parts, or cleaned and painted ones, does not appear to be lowered or altered. Bigger alloys though.

Very low owners for a cabriolet, total of 4, very low recorded miles @ 86k.

It was in a tight, under building lock up garage,with stick brakes,no chance of getting the truck anywhere near it, so battery on, it started and drove itself out, though I suspect that might cause issues lol. The brakes are not sticky any more,it rolled off the truck and pushed easily into the shed.

Once it has clean fuel, it will as usual be taken for mot, fail or pass, for 40 quid, it is the best, least time consuming way to find issues and get it on a lift for a personal inspection of the underside.

Not the best front pic

Interior is very nice.

No cracks in the dash, seats showing a little age but not damaged.

I have the original steering wheel but the one fitted does not look out of place.

There was a stainless exhaust boxed in the boot, manifolds too, not checked if it is all there, looks like the back box has been fitted and is stamped Scorpion.

Even the aftermarket alarm works on the fob.

Weather is atrocious here today; on/off heavy rain but with some sun in between; not a great day for washing the car but had to clean the interior as it was coated with compost dust; everywhere! Even the headlining got a good patina

All hoovered and wiped down with watered down citrus pre-cleaner; the leathers been given a good wipe down with Dr Leather wipes (these are superb if you've not tried them) and then the alcantara has been brushed clean

Cheers Sam

Weathers been foul here today; on/off heavy rain then blistering sunshine, and then rain again

Been able to get stuff done in the garden & greenhouse; but not a day for washing cars...

I did the inside of the F31 in between showers...

Bored of this stty weather now!
