I've made some progress on my euro e24. It was a one owner car until last summer and only has 84K miles. I worked on it over the winter, spring, and this summer. I've removed the tint, repaired the speaker pods, added a new steering wheel, fixed the boaster on the driver's factory Recaro, added a stereo (as close to period looking as possible), rebuilt the 16x8 BBS RSs, did a tiny bit of body work on a small dent below the passenger tail light, had the gas tank repaired, and had it lowered with new Bilsteins. With the exception of the tank and the lowering, I did everything myself. I can't believe how well my body work came out. It has original paint but it really needs a paint job. The interior is all original.

My poor coupe has been ignored! :(

Yes, I'd say you are a BMW fan. Beautiful fleet you have there. Each one in an Optimized shade of Blue.

Thanks everyone. The color is Arktisblau. What can I say, I like the blues. :)

Amazing! Your e24 and your fleet! Was this the car listed in Western Idaho? Also, have you swapped wheels with the e9 yet to compare and contrast? I love your extra-wide Style 5’s but those RS’s are spectacular also!

Thanks! Not out of Idaho, the car was imported to New Mexico when it was new. It stayed there until last year.

I have definitely thought about swapping the wheels! The staggered Style 5s would look great on the six!
 
Wow, I have the same trifecta of E9, E39 M5, E24, but each of your specimens looks better than mine :).
Probably the second E24 I see with no cracks in the dash...

Very cool! Just my opinion, the e9 is the best looking car BMW has ever made and the e39 M5 is the best car BMW has ever made (and probably will ever make).

When I first talked to the previous owner about the e24, I asked him twice if there were any cracks in the dash. It's such a huge bonus having a crackfree dash. A good friend of mine looked for a few years and finally found a good dash for his euro 635.
