    Found a 635CSI. What would be a fair price for it based on the findings below.Model year 1981Original condition and mechanicals.Working sunroof.Dogleg gearbox. (Some mechanical whine while coasting, disappears while acclerating, unsure of source, maybe not even gearbox.)Gearbox notchy, hard to go from 2nd to 1st. But synchros are ok. Is this the character of the dogleg?Hairline cracks on dashboard (Can be re-wrapped?)50sen hole in driver side footwell from rust.Some rust around passenger side footwell drain plug.Fan intruded into radiator but not leaking, yet.Great leather interior.Missing lever in a/c console.rubber seals between very good and fair.2pc BBS 16" rimsThanks to all who can help. Cheers.

    Hi Slide, you got the dogleg gearbox? The engagement isn't positive on the one i tested, this is what I actually meant by notchy. Does yours display the same characteristics?

    BTW, which KL/PJ workshop got experience with maintaing the E24? Tolong share. Tq.

    you can try Kz Motorservice in Ara Damansara Just before the old Airport. Call Fahmi 0163904466. Just mention my name kaiza. He did my overhaul, and he did a fantastic job. Just tell him the problems you have with your car and he will help you.

    His pricing is reasonable.

    Well here is my ride, used to belong to another member, esterix.
    Service all my bm's at M1. Yes, i too have a dog leg, it works fine, but 1st is sometimes a little hard to engage, i think it's just cause the damn gear level is too long... and u do have to push it all the way to the left and down too...
    would like to show u my car.. but i don't know how to post pictures..... need to get a link?

    40k. Still a bit on the high side for my pockets.

    Plus body work, transfer, rd tax blabla and others probably budget another 5k.

    road tax can be reduced to classic car status. as long as the car is in good original status. only have to pay 800 per year.
