I just bought that E24. LOL.

No shit?

I need compression testing stuff this weekend. Anyone know where I can borrow/rent it? Anyone want to help?

[vectorsc]

Yeah - gonna go pick it up this lunch hour. I've wanted one for a long time.

sweet, you need to bring it to some meets! where are you located?

[Bishop]

Did you test drive it or just buy it and gonna go get it?

That kicks ass. A good price on a 635csi too, esp with the manual. I want to see that car in person!

My $0.02: Get the euro bumpers, so much more sexyness....

[vectorsc]

Just buy it and gonna go get it - I have the time and money to fix anything E24 gremlin related. I'll bring it to our meet ups next month I suspect.

Win, I don't think I've ever seen a shark up close, but I know I want one bad lol

The Report:

1. The engine oil housing is messed up. I can fix that pretty easy.
2. There are dents - 2 of them. 2 little dents. Like the size of a quarter. I almost walked.
3. Likewise with THE scratch.
4. Air intake boot is dead.
5. Dash has 1 crack.
6. Drivers door panel was taken out in pieces. All of them are there for reassembly.
7. Drivers seat could use some leatherique. No tears though.

All in all a solid $2k buy.

Damn, nice buy

Sounds like a really good buy

as far as maintenance goes, I was under the impression that BMW went a little overboard with experimental/luxury items. such as hydraulic (adjustable?) suspension, and annoying shit like a seperate heater core for the back seat, with it's own heat/AC controls. i'm sure there's more, but i have no idea what i'm talking about; never actually driven one. I'm sure Vector will keep us posted!

plus parts aren't as common as e30s.

anyway, that is totally a sick buy, and it sounds like all the important stuff is in good working order. Can't wait to see it at some meets!!

[ZombiE30]
