some great looking cars in there. Loved the inline 6 motor shot (red valve cover) more info pls!

Those 8's are fabulous. I have a few shots of my buddies 850, and of course my little six in the other shot.

man, i never realized how small our 6's were, compared to the 7. i like the 8's alot, but they cost much more to maintain. i'm happy with a 6.

your car is gorgeous. im new to the club what are the dimensions of those rims and tires? Are they Alpina rims?

thanks for the compliment. the pic is a little dated and those wheels are no longer on the car. the wheels are style 32's from a 540 sport. they were staggered 17"-8" front and 9" rear. they also require hub rings. they are the next best best thing to Alpina's in my opinion. fit the 6 lines very well. i now have Alpina's on the car.

Ok Dave, let's update the pic.. Inquiring minds want to know!!

OK Bill. One of these days I'm going to figure out how to post pics. Had a PC crash a while back and never got the camera dock station to work right either.

Ive seen shots of daves car with the alpinas, they are the open lug style and look awesome.

Found some photos he sent me a little bit ago:

Looks good dave

That's about a period look right? Open lugs on a mid-model 6er? Don't think I've really ever seen an E24 with that style. I'm wanting to do a wheel change on my six, not only to get away from the TRX's but I think it will spiff up the car a bit at the same time. Top choice would be Alpina's followed by something like the wheel on the 8 series above (style # escapes me at the moment). Love to see some pics of those new wheels dave whenever you get the chance.

That is daves white car i posted with his alpinas, those are the more "correct period" wheel for the car. I think that wheel started in teh 70s and went through the 80s. The next alpina wheel was basically that with a lug nut cover.

The wheel your looking at on the 8 are style 65 or 66 i think, they are the wheel from an E39 M5, pretty popular to put on the 6ers.

thanks jeff for putting up the pics. the car was very dirty at the time i took those shots. needed to take those pics in a hurry,get them put on CD and send to someone. almost traded someone for a rust free 6. but i was going to keep the Alpina's. i'll get some better pics and if i can't post them, i'll let jeff do it for me.

It could look like this:

Stripes on!!!!

Nice lighting trick! I cant wait to see that car in person, next year sometime i suppose!

what a contrast between the 2 great whites. mine will clean up pretty well, but not as nice as alpinacsi's. plus i just replaced the drivers fender(from a slight fender bender last fall) and i need to have it painted the correct shade of white.

When I brought this one home last summer, I would look at pics of yours and think how nice it looked. I hoped that it would clean up and look as good as yours. Many, many hours later and it surpased what I ever thought was possible. I was able to save the original paint and only had to paint the front bumper.

Let me know if you need that fender painted; I still have plenty of paint on hand.

thanks for saying that it does come across clean. it had a repaint before i bought it and i can't tell if the paint is a perfect match. it's very close. it's just the fender that needs paint plus a small repair on the nose panel i did when the fender was replaced.

he told me that motor was going in that black six.

Kind of puts things in perspective sitting on the 5 chassis doesn’t it. Me, I think the Cpe is just right :redspot
