pimp? lol no tvs and huge stereos... just coils and wheels

I've been floating another project car around in my head too (would LOVE to get into rally cross during the winter months) but I don't have space at my apartment for another car.

I need a proper garage to work on cars damnit.

no flame from me. I'd love to get one of those... If you really do want one, look for 85.5. They did a make over 1/2 through the model year and everything is vastly improved.
They produced a TON of them in 86... The turbo is pretty much needed as well.

^this....

besides, if you think owning a 15yo bmw can be trying, just buy an (almost) 30yo porsche...


with 'electrical problems'.....

hey!!! that means it would be 'just like from the factory', right??!!!!



but yeah, i dig. the turbo ones are what you would want, and they track *very* nicely. see lots of these through town when the races are on.

Guys.. We should rent a garage and start a BMW refurb and sales shop. sell high quality used and refurbed BMWs at or below market price, offer to perform mods and maintenance: profit.[/QUOTE]

That would be an excellent idea. Anything to get me out of the GD cubicle farm.

I want a turbo but they are little tougher to find on the cheap!

No kidding, but it might be worth a shot.

Side note I did find a two door dove gray interior parts car for $1500 if anyone is desperate for door panels again.

And if you thought BMW parts were expensive! An old Porsche is not for the faint of heart or wallet.

I figured they would be ridiculous, still want it though. I knew my BMW would have a certain cost to own. I just dropped $60 for oil and a filter! I don't mind honestly, the price is worth it most days.

That's a gorgeous color!

Agree with looking for a face lift model though. The interior is actually pretty nice and very livable. The old interiors are quite cheap.

that's about par for the course if you run synthetic oil, i generally buy 7qts of royal purple or Mobil 1 and it is around that if not more, but when i pulled the valve cover off a few months back to replace the gasket that sh!t was clean, clean for any car, let alone my 211k miles.

Yeah go for an 86-87, the pre-85s are even more problematic and just plain weird. IIRC the tacometer goes backwards like in a new aston, but its just irritating, not cool.



I love 944s though, I always wanted an NA one as my first car, glad I didn't in retrospect though, I'd never trust one as my only car.

Isn't it though! Montreal Blau club all the way...

IF I ever get one I would try for the post face lift variety, but I'll probably end up with another BMW. I have clearance from the wife for another car this year, tough decision.

I knew it would be and I chose the Amsoil synthetic and Mann filters. I think I'm gonna put my DD on it too. Seems worth it to me.

The tach is weird. I never knew that about them. I did read they are supposed nearly perfect weight distribution though.

I almost bought an 86 after I sold the Audi to do my daily 100mi rt commute.

Probably would have except I was scared of it being a daily sitting in traffic and I can't use it as a backup car with the girls.

Ugh I think I might buy that 635 this weekend if he still has it. I just sent him an email. I hope he doesn't have it because I should be spending my money on other things

Join the school of Sharks....you know you want to.

David, there are a few gray/silver E24s, but far fewer than black and red. Not many Burgundrot ones, either. Judging from the paint on Eddie's 633, I can see why. It just didn't hold up well. Burgundy red metallic is gorgeous when it's in good shape. It's hideous when it's not.

Believe me, I really want to. But I need to buy Christmas presents and pay off traffic tickets.
