According to BMW, my car was originally delivered to a dealer in Milan Italy and it has the rear fog light.
Good old days!
The Inka car at the front on the color photo is a CSL. The car with the big plate is, as said in the thread, an Italian delivery. I'm not sure but this photo could be from the Karmann assembly line.
I think there is also another CSL at the back (Colorado?). Have seen a similar photo, but from another angle, of the same cars.

Yeah, to me this looks more like "Ach du Scheisse...look! The hood hits the strut tower!"
Does anyone actually have a fresh image that @Stevehose mentioned in the original thread ?Looks like Hans and Fritz are trying to get the hood to fit!
(I know it's 10 years ago, worth try I thought)
I'm curious to see it, as I am rebuilding my front end, and it seems to suffer from too high front shock towers...
My Italian delivery 74 CS had the fog light.
Such great pics! Thanks.

Nice pictures.
They have been presented on the forum. It is a pity there is no film material as it is for Neue Klasse or E30. Or maybe there is but we have no idea about
BTW... second picture is mirrored
Looks like white were as popular (based on pictures) as Polaris.
Various version (put by purpose of the picture)? ... One RHD (CSL), one US market (no foglight) and one LHD at front

What a nice picture!
Wondering why some of the cars in the picture have the driver side mirror placed at the A pillar and some a little further?
Does that have something to do with the country regulations they would be shipped to?

I believe yes. The US DOT regulated certain aspects such as that (as did other countries - France with headlamp and tail light colors, Italy with tail light and side marker configurations, EU with rear fog lamps, etc). I am sure I don't know the half of it. I am also surprised to see some swan neck mirrors on these cars. I thought they all all came with trapezoid mirrors at first.

If I’m correct, I count 9 Chaminix coupes in that one image. Doubt we will ever see an image with that many in the same color again.

My favorite color er non color… whatever… I love a white BMW
In my humble opinion some which appear white at the first sight might be Polaris...
#4, #5 - first column
#4, #6 - second column
#4 - third column
which corresponds to color popularity mentioned on the "colors" thread.
