E30 Zone

does anyone here own a e24 6 series ?
what to see where the hell you get parts from ....lol

bmw-mad has got one i think

Motormec in Lowestoft used to be good (Tel: 01502 500590). The owner used to have a lovely 635csi.

Dips,my mate has a 635 on a D plate,he gets most of his bits either from Ebay or from BMW,not many specialist dismantlers for these.

New parts walloth nesch germany

old parts ebay or Fristz bits if i am stuck

other owners breaking cars bigcoupe forum

Jason

yeah i have used Fristz bits but some parts are hard to come by without spending silly money on new stuff

What sort of parts are you looking for?

no, but it is on the wish list once the chromie is sorted

yeah i have his number ,will ring him tomorrow ,told him just sell me the car

Shame to break it, love the 635 CSI, trying to get my dad to buy another 1

nice steering wheel

Won't an E30 wheel fit - thought they tech 1 was the same?

What do you need?

I have two on the drive ATM and broke one about a year ago.

Steering wheels from 85 on cars will fit the E30.

i`ve got a 635 csi cabriolet and used to buy a lot of parts from a greek guy in harrow on the hill.
i`ll try and find his number and post it up.

yes

I've got a 635CSi Highline. Absolutely no problem getting parts- BMW still has virtually everything for E24s.

yes

sorry guys no photos, it`s been sitting in a lockup for the last 5 years, i hav`nt seen it for about 3 years but i will be draging it out soon and taking it to a-tech.

i`ll get some photos up when it hits the daylight.

Who did the conversion?

E12 or E28 base?

Is it a full convertible or a Baur type.

I know a chap in Wales with one and there's another one that pops up for sale every now and then.

it`s e28 based, not sure who converted it but someone i spoke too thought it may have been done by barn garage in bradford?, baur type and a very good quality conversion.

i`ve had the car for nearly 7 years, had the engine and suspension rebuild when i first got it(quick car with the manual box), then put it in the lockup and pretty much forgot about it.

Here ya go.........

any luck ?

Thats A GOOD looking convertable car
Dips FACE LIFT e24 s were based on e28 floor pan , lots of the steering drive trian is the same , is just the £500 front wings that kill them off

i love e24s but when ever i v e look at "mint ones , my magnets sees filler in the front wings !!
but a second one to break its cheaper i nthe long run cheers Franky

Bonnet shocks and Spark plug leads are definitely OK.

I've never seen a decent s/h kidney grille - I have a couple of dented ones? Even my own car has a dent. £65 from the dealers IIRC.

What sort of steering wheel? Fine spline or coarse?
