I just picked up a 1988 635csi with 208 000 km on it.
Car has the normal rust spots but I will take care of it, the bilsteins and lower spings are ready to be installs, just need a nice clean set of rims and change all the bushings and I am back in the game.

It is good to have a BMW as a daily driver again.

I would have loved an M6, but was afraid of the M engine abuse with previous owners.

Sooo, maybe a mild turbo will take care of the horse power.

Plan:
- Bilstein shocks
- Lowering springs
- Urethane subframe bushings
- Corvette big brake kit
- 17" rims
- And the usuall lightweight flywheel, thrust arms, rust removal...

I am excited with this new project, now I need to find an E30 convertible and my collection will be complete for now. Gotta love being single hehehe.

It is the kit from Ireland engineering, I installed one set on an M6, nice looking with the huge 750i rotors. I will take picture.
