    Meet My Mako Shark

    So I've been yearning to own a 6 series for a while, and finally I got the opportunity. Yesterday I sold my bullet proof daily, for an '86 black on black, 5 speed 635csi.

    Out with the old....

    In with the older! :D

    I will start a build thread soon on my new daily.

    This car was an awesome deal! The car is pretty damn clean inside & out, the m30 runs really stong & was maintained really well, it also has a new clutch and it came with some other nice goodies: ;)

    Real, staggered 16" Alpinas (16x7 front, 16x8 rear)
    Practically new BridgestonePotenza tires
    H&R Sport springs
    Bilstien Sport shocks
    Premium speaker package

    Plans:

    FK fully adjustable coilovers (already purchased)
    Replace all bushings with polyurethane
    Bigger Suspension Technique sway bars\
    Staggered 18" Alpinas (already have :p)
    Shadowline ALL chrome trim/pieces
    Refinish all trim in fresh SEM trim paint
    Bumper tuck
    Euro Smilies (already have ;)): Will be redone in smoked yellow, with smoked cross hairs in the highbeams.
    3k 55W HIDs in the low beams and fogs
    Refinish the tail lights in candy red
    Source an M6 spoiler
    Replace heavy motorized front seats with black leather, e30 sport seats
    Turbocharge the factory m30 for now with a Holset H1C (16cm hotside), the newest version of megasquirt, etc.

    There's plenty I didn't list, but that's a start!

            Eventually, but they require quite a bit of fabrication to fit the US model unfortunately. I also don't want to spend money on paint right now, as the paint is pretty good on this one. ;)

              Awesome!

              I had an '87 M6 until my divorce forced it's sale- Hence the name 'LonghornM6". No doubt one of the most beautiful cars BMW created! I look forward to your progress!

                Very nice. A guy in my neighborhood has a black/black e24 m6 on ACS.
                Looks and sounds soo nice.

                  No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                        Aw, you beat me to the shark-thread-making punch. Looks awesome, those wheels are rad, and I want them along with the suspension. Dibs plz.

                        Don't shadowline, by the way. Chrome on dark shark is dead sexy.

                          Ditto on the no shadowline, black with chrome is the way to go... You two guys got some sweet machines... I sure miss my 86 e24.

                            Gotta love the shark. Too bad i need a bigger rear seat. The E24 is one of my favorite cars of all time.

                              E30 looked really clean, but you can not argue with an E24. Sounds like you've got some big plans for it too.
