    Field Trip

    Nice images Dick. You and Mike should think about doing a photo shoot of your two cars in one of the many lovely settings around Vancouver.

    Puget Sound BMWCCA Chapter meet

    Geez Dick, not a single closeup of your gorgeous E3. You are too humble. The Polaris E9 next to my Nacht Blau belongs to Irving K. It is a super low mile, completely rust free car that is all original with the exception of one re-spray. This was a smaller than usual turnout of E9/E3 cars as...

    Coupe Photos

    In the queue for German Car Day at our local cars and coffee, Exotics at Redmond Town Center. Out of over 1,000 cars, there were three E9s including the former Bruce Levin CSL Batmobile tribute. Image courtesy of Jason Tang, noted local motorsport photographer.

    FS: BaT E9 Seats

    Given that cameras and monitors can make colors look very different, I do agree that I don't think these came from the factory looking this way. For one thing, the saddle color, 07, has a distinct pigskin look with a perforation pattern that mimics hair follicles. Attached is an example that...

    Like most everyone else, this is a big surprise. Market correction? Ukraine effect?

    Paging Coupe King

    I have a friend who has had a car at Coupe King for several months and thinks it should be finished but has been unable to contact Erik either through their site or by his personal phone number. He has made multiple attempts to call/email over the last couple of months with no response. I hope...

    BAT: Original 71 2800cs

    Regarding the under engine shield, it does appear to be the original unit. I have only seen one other, on a similar mileage 3.0CS purchased out of a museum in Europe. Regarding the added trim, when I bought my coupe ten years ago it had very similar trim installed and unfortunately the body...

    M635?

    Rob, I think you are confusing two similar cars. Sooner's son's car has 96,000 miles. The BAT car has 164,000 and has some needs. Makes Sooner's car sound like a very good deal.

    M635?

    So far I haven't seen many car-for-sale ads on that forum or much discussion of BAT cars either. If you want to find an M635 in the US, for better or worse it seems that BAT is the best option.

    M635?

    I recently bought a 1985 M635csi that was imported and federalized when new. It has a BAR sticker and according to Carfax it passed California emissions in 1992. The valve spring and timing chain concerns are legitimate, I guess. My car had the valve spring update done when the engine was...

    Windshield Gaskets

    You can buy a set of front and rear E3 window gaskets for $7500 here: https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/d/grapeview-1972-bmw-e3-bavaria/7181701786.html And you get a Bavaria with a M30B35 installed as a bonus. In the last paragraph of the ad the seller even says, "someone might want to...

    1973 3.0CS on BAT

    According to my factory parts book, 224XXXX cars are listed as 3.0CS/USA. If it had been delivered outside North America, the VIN would begin with 221.

    72 BAV on BAT

    I know the seller well and have seen the car in person. The presentation and images tell an accurate story and I doubt you can go wrong buying this and just driving it regularly. I would love to see it stay in the Northwest with the new owner joining our back country E9 drives.
