When I got my '84 400i 3 years ago I had a new rear bumper from Maranello UK fitted. This is a silky satin finish and the colour is probably more...
Hi Bruce, I reckon your series 2 glovebox key is an original as mine looks exactly the same and with HV stamped on it.
Ken, thanks for that information. I will check those bolts first when I next have a chance to play with the car. I think that part of the problem...
Thanks for the photos, confirms that the left side catch on my 400i is put together incorrectly. Wonder why someone did that?
The left hand side catch on my 400i does not always release that side of the bonnet / hood whereas the right hand side one always does. The...
My insurance company have accepted an agreed value of £55k for my 400i auto. Of course ithe insurance costs more than if it was insured for £35k,...

Thanks Gary, that's really helpful, along with the list of things it might be. I intend to get the car warm, put it back in the garage and place a...
Have a slight fluid leak from the auto box area on my '84 400i. Does anyone have a photo of the underside if the box, that is from the ground...
Ken, thanks for that information. Electric gremlins - I was warned about Italian cars of that era before I bought my 400i. Already had one, top...
Having only recently bought my 1984 400i (details previously posted), and being new to these cars, I am starting to find my way around it a little...

Hi Ewan, It was advertised but only after it had been sold to me, as I bought it before it was really put up for sale. I bought it from the...
