Bump

Bump (I repaired the clock. It just needed a bit of lubrication.)

TEXT ME IF YOU WANT IT (cell number is down below) BMW E9 Instrument Cluster Pulled from US-spec 4-speed 2800CS Speedometer in mph Very good original condition Bench tested, everything appears to work $700 plus actual shipping in the continental US. [ADDENDUM: I fixed the clock. It just needed...

As others have said, it really is a question of whether you want a largely original car or are open to upgrades. My E9 is a CSi whose D-Jetronic was removed before I bought it. Under my ownership, it got an M30B32 engine with an L-Jetronic injection system from a 1980 528i. This is not as...

Are you running points/condenser or an electronic triggering system like a Pertronix? I'm a big believer in Pertronix on 2002s, but when I installed one in my Bavaria, it caused the car to do exactly what you're describing. Put the points and condenser back in and the problem went away. Never...

E9 Rear Windshield (rear window glass) $200 West Newton, MA LOCAL PICKUP ONLY I have an E9 rear windshield (rear window glass) that's been sitting in the basement of my mother's house since 1988. It looks to me to be green-tinted and in pretty good condition, not obviously pitted. I hosed...

I've been writing about my '73 CSi since I bought it in 1986, including a three-part series called "The Life, Death, and Life of a Coupe" that was published in Roundel magazine in late 1988 and augmented in my first book Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic, but when I was recently scanning some family...

It's utter coincidence that this appeared a few weeks after my Hagerty CSL piece. https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/the-hack-mechanic/what-exactly-is-a-bmw-3-0csl/

An old friend of mine is having a look at a 2800CS with an M30B34 engine, injection, and intake from an E28. He said that as soon as he unlatched the hood, it jumped up, indicating that the hood wasn't clearing the engine. Is there a known clearance issue with this conversion or something...

In this month's BMW CCA Roundel magazine, I wrote a column in which I described seeing a beat-up 3.0CSL "city package" car at The Vintage and not immediately recognizing it for what it was because it was missing its stripes and chrome fender arches. Owing to the lead time in print, about two...

Oh the poor things!

In general, the cars that bring all the money on BaT are the ones where the car looks like a well-executed whole, creating a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. This is true whether the car is an intact survivor, a nut-and-bolt bone-stock restoration, a tastefully-modified driver...

Just to chime in here... if others have already said this, forgive me. Whether it's Hagerty or one of the other collector car insurers, what you want is an "Agreed Value" policy. That is, you want a policy where you say "I want to insure my E9 for $120k" (or whatever your number is), they...

Arrived. These were still in a Bavarian Auto Service box. Obviously part of the inventory purchased from Bavarian that someone decided was just taking up space. And the price at the link above on ECS' page is back to $380. Every once in a while, you get lucky.

There are a number of references here on E9coupe to K-Mac 191716-1J adjustable front camber/caster plates (one is here: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/camber-plates-make-sure-you-really-need-them-first.32165/). I need a set, as I have uneven left-to-right front camber, but they're $380 a pair...

Despite us both being local NorEast E9ers, I didn't know Chris well, but he was always a hoot to be around when I saw him at events. What a damned shame.

Gone.

If it covers the entire cold air outlet from the evaporator, its function may have been to eliminate "spitting" of condensed water off the evaporator core.

Okay, E3 people, I've got four E3 / Bavaria bumpers in conditions ranging from good to poor. They came with a parts hoard I bought from a closing body shop about six years ago. I've moved them several times between storage areas, they were last in the storage space in Fitchburg MA I'm getting...

Don't know the answer, but since this thread got resurrected, I went back to my original post and fixed the broken links to the photos. --Rob
