Is the E24 BMW M6 one of the last affordable early M cars?

Bumpers can be fixed.

On the E28s, I think Euro bumpers are a bolt on affair like the E30s.

E24s suffer the fate of E21s; if you want Euros to look right, there's substantial sheet metal work involved. 

I like those 6ers, but the big uglies kill it. 

I'd never own any pre-plastic bumper E30 without Euro bumpers on it.   Looks SO much cleaner. 

In reply to OldGray320i :

I need a cheat sheet to decipher that.

In reply to Keith Tanner :

Ooops.  Stream of consciousness writing. 

E28 = Euro bumpers easy to swap, bolt on. 

E24 = Euro bumper swap hard, requires sheet metal work.

The rest is the ramblings of mad man. 

I was thinking more of the chassis codes. Anything lower than E30 or higher than E46 requires googling for me :) Four chassis codes plus a reference to one under a different name. BMW people are nuts.

3 Series - E21, E30, E46, E90 blah blah blah these cars don't matter

5 Series - E12, E28, E34, E39 , E60 blah blah blah these cars don't matter

6 Series - E24 (early cars 76 to 82 are based on the E12 5 series and later cars 83-89 based on E28 5 series even though they all look the same)

7 Series - E23, E32, E38 blah blah blah these cars don't matter

That should cover it for this conversation.

Same sausage, different lengths . . . :)

Or, that's what it used to be.
