kiwi535 538 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 the yellow stuff is actually a protective coating applied by the factory,called cosmoline.There are some realy good resources for the e32 750 this guy in particular.Dont be confused by the e 34 forum.The e32 and the e34 have a lot in common.

yng_750 247 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 also one of the main problems im facing is the key is one of the spring loaded flick out ones but has been broken so i only got given the metal piece from inside it which is annoying as theres very little piece to hold and leverage is crap can anyone tell me whether i could just replace the plastic piece or would i need a whole new key if i got a new key is a bmw dealership the only place to get them and how much can i expect to pay for one thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope it serves you well, And to think only 16 years ago that car was proberbly in excess of $250,000! yea i have had the same opinion from a few other people so would probably go black and for the fact that its uber hard to find crinkle red paint these days i might get a can of satin black and paint the rest of the plastic like fan shroud etc although i havent had a good look at it it might come up nice with some armorall as was posted earlier the yellow comes from the factory coating was it yellowish from factory ?? or just tarnished that way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
