Not at all. Suspension, steering, engine, etc, etc are all M3. More details on link below...

I've got one and was out last weekend in it. But not where the ones above were spotted. Nothing better for blasting round country lanes on sunny days. BMW only imported 33 into UK, although probably a few more here now. Mine came from Belgium.

Only that it was an '89 G reg with 2,000 miles traded in at Dick Lovett in Swindon.

Might it be yours, Boyd?

Thanks. I'm asking 'cause was looking through the records of my M635 and see that the orginal buyer traded in an '89 325i Motorsport convertible with 2,000 thousand miles against it. He got £27,000 for the 325i which I thought sounded a lot and wondered what the list price was. The M635 was sold on ...

Anyone know what the list price was for a 325i Motorsport convertible in 1989?

Okay, apologies. Lock it, close it or delete it.

Great story on how a 20 year old 318 came 3rd in class in the Mexico World Rally Championship...

My top 5 best ever BMWs would be: 1. M635CSi Highline Motorsport Edition, macao blue with white leather - 286bhp! 2. E30 M3 special edition: Evo, Cecotto, etc - I'm a sucker for special editions 3. Alpina Z1 RLE (and maybe normal versions) - because of the doors, okay! 4. 3.0 CSL - 'cause they only ...

In the current BMW Car magazine there is review of the M635Csi, Z1, M3 and Z3M Coupe. It says they are all geat which I guess most people will agree with. In the editorial on the first page the editor answers the question which would he rather have. He says his first choice would be the M635CSi and ...

I think its called Dream Black.

Must say, if you're an extrovert, Fun Yellow stands out.

They made 8000 of them. Not enough go to match the looks was always the problem so many have been tuned - AC, Hartge, Alpina, Lornez, etc all did engine work which bought bhp to just over 200. There was also a turbo conversion by Moseman (spelling?). If there is full evidence of a quality conversion...

No, the whole fitted carpet. Part number 51478106520.

It was shipped from Germany and delivered FOC by Cotswolds. Even got discount on it. Its Lotus White, so you can imagine what my orginal Lotus White carpet is looking like after 20 years. They must have made less than 200 E24 635's with a lotus white interior so amazing they had at least one origina...

I bought a whole new fitted carpet for my M635CSi for £100 from my BMW dealer. Firstly having it was good and secondily I thought the price was okay too.

Bet a lot of car companies wouldn't have carpets in stock for their 20 year old models.

Only 101 RHD M6 highlines made, so a rare car. Looks great condition too.

The UK press car was a white M3 convertible registration F333 NMO. Its not that one is it??? It appeared in a few magazines around Feb '89 including Performance Car mag.

Hi, could you let me know how much the following are please:

Part: 632 11 360 807 - rear light gasket E24

Part: 511 419 659 80 - M6 grill badge for USA market, probably available from Germany?

My boot lid is really difficult to shut. It takes 2 or 3 really hard slams to get it to shut. Not a big problem in the scheme of things, but irritating.

Anyone got any tips? I've tried lubricating the lock.

Another good independent BMW specialist is Munich Motors in Wokingham. Two mechanics (and owners I think) run E30's, one an M3, although they do all types of BMs. They look after my M3 and M635 and are very helpful, even talking me out of work they thought wasn't needed. Their number is 0118 977 2236.

I've an '89 M3...great on country roads, but everything happens above 4,000 revs so you have to thrash it. Not that powerful compared to a modern car but sounds so much better. But boring and noisy on motorways. Looks damn good at all speeds.

'89 M3, '89 M635CSi, '04 R1100S and wife's Renault Modus!

Daily driver is a Specialized Sirrus which I ride to work every day so I don't need a proper car.

Great day out, and good to meet Iain and Adit and the unique and perfect Hartge H27.

I wouldn't bother with a hardtop. I had one but it leaked much worse than the soft top. Then you have to store it when its off. I sold it after a month.

Hi, how much for front seat belt buckles to replace the faded pink ones? For an '89 M3 cab LHD. Ta

Hi, are these still available new? Ta, Richard

The battery for my M3 E30 went dead although its recharged and working now. However, the in car computer now isn't working. The date and time were reset okay, but other functions like temp, MPG, etc just show PPPP. I've tried reseting it by pushing the reset button, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Sounds good, hope to come along but can't confirm yet. When will you know if this is definately going to happen?
