This was a nice driver in the most popular color finish. Last Friday, their reserve was $110K. They showed me the listing on their computer. The previous owner probably had at least $150K in the car. He traded it in for a Cobra and took a loss for a car he preferred to have in his collection...
I test-drove this car this morning. I wrote my comments on BaT as "2002Drew". I never looked at the "style lines". I never even heard of that term until this auction. I was impressed by how easy the doors shut and the fit of the front and rear windows. A CSi engine idle is smooth compared to...
I also saw this Coupe on Hemmings and went to the site selling the car called Classic.com
Here's the link
https://www.classic.com/veh/1970-bmw-2800cs-2202765-pdE6wK4/
They have a market graph of recent sales and below that a "Comps" page that shows all of the E9's sold.
They list all types of...
Herman--All of the above advice is from experienced E9 owners. I would make sure that your coupe is not outside subject to rain & sun. That can cause a whole bunch of other problems not on your initial list.
Clutch nylon bushings replaced. The restoration shop inserted the bushings on the pivot of the clutch pedal where one of them got deformed. I could feel the pedal had a slight creaking when shifting at slow speeds. The 2 bushings were about $4 at the dealer. A touch of lubricant on the bushings...
Bert--Thanks for the interior compliment. The German square weave is color # 503. I have the lines oriented north & south. Their driver piece that goes under your left foot is wrong! Doug McKenzie has the correct piece from GAHH and we made a template of his black carpet. They sent the correct...
My e-brake indicator light kept flashing red. I found the float was half full of brake fluid. The seam must leak so tiny that the fluid will not come out.
Has anyone drilled a small hole in the float to allow the fluid out and found a product that will seal the seam and drilled hole and still...
Bert--I used the GAHH German square weave carpet with my tan interior. I always liked the square weave in the 356 Porsches. It's not original and neither is most anything in my coupe. The sisal mats are over the carpet in the first photo.
rshelby--window tint has improved since 2015. Here's what I did to my coupe in 2022:

find an established tint shop that knows how to install on our curved windows.

I bought the turn signal switch/stalk on EBay over a year ago as a NOS. The plug terminals were aligned differently from my stalk wiring. My mechanic had a special tool to align the terminals to my wiring. The stalk now works correctly. That could happen with the W&N stalk also.
I attended a show 2 weekends ago that was a continuation of the Boca Concours, a very prestigious show in Boca Raton that had famous people like Jay Leno as the master of ceremonies. This year it was a duel show with Concours vehicles and motorcycles on one lot ,and nice C&C cars in the adjacent...
