Paul Cain can jump in here but I think his front spoiler is actually from a euro e24. I remember reading about how long it took him to get the fit right. Pretty sure Paul's car, inspired Coupeguy to design the one he sold for years. I've have the Coupeguy's version on my coupe, it too was a...

Hi Scott, I love your 'Mood Board, it's like watching the 'Property Brothers' on HGTV. Looking at the options you presented, I would skip the first one, it looks pretty grey to me - too many new cars have boring grey interiors. If you are going white, go white! I've seen Mike's car in person...

Haven't read the Hoffman article yet but I did read the 930 and 3-series articles. Very interesting about when Bob Lutz took over and got help from his GM buddies to help transform BMWs then archaic design process to clay models (which now seems very archaic). I pretty much recited the whole...

Love the color and the 14 inch Alpinas!

I'm going to answer this without really knowing but I'm 100 percent sure that Bavarias never ever came with with 2 tone door panels. :)

I've sold 4 cars on BaT and agree with every comment you make John, except one. This is just my opinion but paint thickness readings really only matter on a car claiming to have all original paint with no body work. Most e9s now have been repainted, having that as a 'best practice' with...

That's the color I used. I believe I bought it locally at a Automotive/Boat Upholstery Supply store.

I think Barney is making a run for your 'the most driven Coupe' title. :)

I was on CocoMats website looking for some new mats for my e24 that I recently picked up. I was little surprised to see my coupe's interior featured under their Navy Checker Style section. Maybe they can give me some kind of discount on my new ones. :) https://cocomats.com/checker-mats/

My thoughts exactly! He's the reason I've probably only washed my coupe with actual water 3 or 4 times in 22 years.

Something goofy going on with the wheels. They don't look like 16 inch BBS RSs to me, which would be RS006s. If they are real BBSs, they have been stepped up from 15s or maybe even 14s. The waffles look wrong too. I do really like the color of the car.

First couple of pictures don't do it justice. I liked it more as I went through the pictures, usually the other way around.

I made my own too. They are a must have. I light car with body color showing through the grills just looks silly.

Can you find somewhere to store it inside? People all over the Portland area rent out their extra garage space. My buddy has his M635 parked at the neighbors across the street because she does't need a three car garage and he's out of space. Maybe check FaceBook.

Very nice!

I kept my old 4 speed and driveshaft around after doing the 5 speed conversion years ago, even lugged it to our current house when we moved 9 years ago. Finally, after tripping over it again, I took it to the scrap yard a couple of years ago. Nobody wanted it and chances are extremely slim...

Does 'My first BMW' count? I bought it 22 years ago and have had 20 since. I just bought my 21st BMW a couple of days ago.

Looks amazing! Very cool seats BTW. Did you do the work yourself?

Last year, I checked into changing my interior over to burgundy leather - the quote was $12K. All the sudden, my dark blue leather looked better than ever.
