In Reply to: Help on the E24!!! posted by TS on December 23, 1999 at 08:11:41:
: I have been an admirer of BMWs for decades and the owner of a '95 530ia for about 4 years. IMHO, the six series has always been the sexiest of ride of all.
: I've begun some priliminary research on the later production years (88 and 89) of the 635csi and the M6. All things being constant (maintenance, repairs, avail parts, insurance, etc.), I am trying to balance the cost of ownership, reliability and of course raw fun.
: Even after some mods with the 530i (suspension, airflow, chip) I wish I had gone for the 540i. Am I crazy to think it will be any different if I get a tricked 635 and not the M6?
: The E34 has been a blast on the track. The soon-to-be purchased E24 will not be a daily driver and take over any track time. My gut tells me to get the 635 and make it a real wolf in sheep skin. Without having to sell my house, are there enough proven mods still on the market today for the 635?
: The M6. Is this car going to be sooo much fun to drive that I will 'forget' about the high expense of owning and driving it? I'll probably spend around $15K on the car.
: Any feed back is welcomed. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
No comparison.Buy the best M6 you can afford and enjoy. I own a low millage 89' 635. Wish I had the M. Good luck.
