Glad you're loving the E31. Beautiful color we never got in the US....I drive a 1994 840ci now and previously owned a '91 850i. Recommend you watch Timm's BMW Information channel for e31 tips. As far as your A/C system - you have a seal or hose leak and/or your secondary heater water pump may have gone bad ( as most will ).

Other issues I have is this gas fume in the cabin smell. I haven't fully tackle it every since my purchase was back then. Does Alex have a site or page/YT.

@@RemyHou i believe you may be quite close to Alec then as he is in California too. His youtube is Classic Car Custodians kzitem.info but you’ll also find him in the facebook groups for e31. I do think you may have a rare spec car, being manual (i know bmw only made 52 840’s in manual for example). Alec would be best to talk to about an appraisal on it. Keep us updated on what you decide 👍

Don't kid yourselves. Almost every repair is $1000. Broken side window, valley pan gasket, new radiator. The hydraulic brake part is now $2200. The bloody plastic ashtray in console, IF you can find one, is $750. The only thing relatively cheap are the 16" tires at $800 for a set. This is an expensive car to run and things are wearing out due to age alone, not even use.

Thanks for watching - im 5’11” with no headroom or comfort at all. There is alot of adjustment with the seat and steering wheel and the car is quite low so legs are quite straight. Best to test one out to be sure, and if you can find a non sunroof car that will also give a little extra headroom. Good luck!
