E21 = 3 series up to '83
E30 = 3 series '84 - 91
E36 = 3'er 92-99/00
E46 = 3'er 99/00 - 05
E90 = 3'er 06 - current

E12 = 5'er up to '81
E28 = 5'er 82-88
E34 = 5'er 89-95
E39 = 5'er 97-03
E60 = 5'er 04 - current

E23 = 7'er up to 87
E32 = 7'er 88-94
E38 = 7'er 95 - 01
E65/66 = 7'er 02 - current (E65 is short, E66 is Li version)

E24 = 6 series up to 89
E Iforget = 6 Series currently

[Critter7r]

E31 was the 8 Series too, btw.

[Critter7r]

Ah, your E63/E64 is the current 6 Series.

I am E24. Thanks!

Don't forget that the E24 has two versions, early based on the E12 chassis and later based on the E28 chassis.

True, though all carry are designated E24 by BMW.

I have an 87 M6 so I'm assuming it's the latter. Of course I have the added Dinan Suspension so that makes it E24i (The i is for I rock ;)

Does the Dinan set-up help the understeer that is prevalent in these cars? And how much does it cost?

It was done by a previous owner so I don't know how it drove prior. I will go out on a limb and say it probably helps a lot, but as much as a front engine car can be helped. I'm coming from a 911, so it all feels weird to me. I WILL say she hunkers-down low in a turn an just goes. I was told it's a stage 2 race suspension, but I can't put my hands on the records at the moment, but I will look at some point (somewhere around here in a drawer) and see what it says. I'm guessing it was done about 5 years ago, so i would think it's a little lower than current prices. I think the receipt listed the parts in the $2,300 range, but don't hold me to that please. Please remind me later to look if you really need the info, becuase I will forget :)

If so just dial more stiffness to the rear or less to the front and you will cut back on understeer.
