Stunning... Love the red Scheel seats. Well done on the restoration - would like to see details if they exists online.

A good friend of mine is nearing the completion of his E9 restoration - although he decided to swap an S38 M6 engine into it (along with all the necessary revisions and upgrades)... Should be done in March.

I have a 1985 M635 that I love - wonderful car to drive and admire.

A good friend of mine has a very nicely done Euro 86 (?) M635. It looks very nice with the short bumpers and I think the tail lights are smaller (?) to allow the longer Euro tag... I'll have find some pictures to post...

Sick... in a good way.

One of my favorites. When I met my first wife, her dad owned a rather large company that his father started from scratch, and even though he could drive anything he wanted, he chose a vintage silver E9 which was his daily driver. He lived in Buffalo NY and it saw all the bad weather up there. It wasn't even in great shape cosmetically, but he loved that car.

Incredible cars, guys. All of them that were posted in this thread. I always wanted an M6 (late 80's version). When I sold BMW's for a living in 1987, there was always an M6 on the showroom floor. I wanted it soooo badly! Still today, supreme examples are supremely priced.

I don't know which is more breath-taking; the car or the photos. Superb in both cases!
