The E24 picture thread

[Jean]

I don't know what it is about these, but I find these sexy as hell to look at. How are these to drive and maintain, might be another story right? I like that these come with m30s, cheap and strong engines that aren't complicated by any means....but i am hearing suspension parts are specific and aren't shared with e28s is that right?

Good 411 guide on these I found - http://www.europeancarweb.com/tech/0...ies/index.html

If you have first hand experience with these, please share :)

I'll start with a few... an 85 m635csi, soooo hot!

[Jean]

And a local 89 635csi (autotragic :( )









I could almost live with the big bumpers.... did the 88/89s have smaller bumpers or what?

I have been waiting for this thread all my life. Almost picked up an E24 myself.

I'm not even going to post photos of mine because it's not pretty yet.

Those are some meaty tires! I like, none of that vwstretchbs.

Oh, Jean, your suspension questions: there were two generations of E24 - the first gen (up to mid-82) was E12-based and uses E12 front and rear suspension, so finding aftermarket stuff for it sucks. '83 onward uses E28 suspension, which has better geometry AND better aftermarket support.

That one must handle like it's on rails.

[Jean]

Yeah, I am looking at 88/89 cars actually so specific to these. About the only thing I don't like is the dash......

[Jean]

That one must handle like it's on rails.

IT IS ON RAILS!

Oh HI!

Subscribed. I freakin love e24's. That is definitely my next bimmer purchase. I'm holding out till I can afford a euro m6. Absolutely the sexiest BMW ever........next to e9's, that is.

e30 + e24 + e9 = My life is complete

[Jean]

^ it's got funny exhaust pipes, cross-eyed a bit

[kronus]

It's got a ton of other problems, but I love it anyway.

Drivers side front needs more air....... that is all.



jk. I used to think these were fugly-poo as a young child but past the age of 12-13 I grew to like them.... a LOT. It doesnt hurt that I have a love for all things 80's BMW/German cars. Yes, even a Merc or two which is unheard of from me.
