New Pictures of my '83

Post by BMW187 »

Haven't posted pics for some time. This is my '83 633Csi with a recent respray on the front spoiler and some new fog lenses. All other paint (Saphir Blau) is completely original. To date (fingers crossed for the future), this shark has never had ANY body work. Bought her in 2010 from her 88 year old 2nd owner who kept her covered in his garage. The exterior is mostly as it was when I purchased her, save for the front and rear spoilers I've added. Recently replaced the front comfort seats with Recaros and installed a Mason Engineering front strut brace.

A few more pics I took yesterday. I recently recolored the back seats black. The original interior was Pacific Blue, but after removing the comfort seats and installing the new black Recaros, the back seats, headrests and speaker pods needed a recolor. Here's how it turned out.

Here's a suggestion;
Start using a quality leather cleaner & food on the seats & steering wheel now.
Too many times we get lax in that dept. because they look good right now.
And, they do look good! =D>
But, maintenance is magic.
Did I just coin a phrase?? 8)
Think I'm gonna use that! I'm so brilliant at times,
and then, at most other times,,,well, you already know.

Thanks, Greg. Feeding the leather IS absolutely key! Did so this past week.
