And there is supposed to be a gasket under the rear roundel base on E9s, as discussed here ad nauseum. Good luck finding one.

Another sticker, this from a '74 3.0S. Note the former options that are now standard -- along with the price bump. Still gotta charge for that antifreeze.

Not mine. Pulled from a current car for sale ad. There are more of these posted somewhere on this site but I couldn't find them to add this one. I've found them useful for historical reference.

You didn't ask about this, but 123 distributors have horrible clips holding (some of the time) the dist cap. They are flimsy and get loose easily. allowing the cap to pop off. Corporate knows this and won't fix the issue. I wrap a zip tie around the cap holding the tops of the clips.

Just had this same issue on my 72 Euro 3.0S (3/72 build). Really stumped me, my tech, and several vendors. Thanks to HBChris for steering me to this thread. I had been trying to use the old gland nut. Tried the new one, scraped off a little paint, and got it threaded. While we're talking...

That wheel opening chrome is over the top. Just tacky.

The driver mat they made for my E9 had this issue. I complained (politely) and they made me a new one at no charge. I've bought 4 sets from them since. Small discount for members of Hagerty Driver's Club.

The downside (safety-wise) to Andrew's installation is the lack of structural support for the shoulder belts where they pass over the seatbacks. In a significant frontal crash, this installation will compress the spine (esp for taller occupants). The shoulder belt tail is nearly horizontal to...

I have 2 (R and L) REAR side windows (not from in the doors) with some of the mechanism attached. Make a donation to the site and you can have these for the cost of shipping. Happy holidays!

Tesla Model S85 here. Bought new in 2013, now at 50K miles. My wife's daily. Sold our E34 M5 when I test-drove that EV torque. Unfortunately, Elon has made me embarrassed to drive it.

Just saw a trailer for an upcoming Bob Marley biopic movie, coming in 2024. Titled "One Love." Looks like they rounded up at least one E3 for a cameo appearance. Don

Watch for it to show up on ebay/marketplace.

I continue to be impressed with what seems to be a very active classic BMW community in the Netherlands -- not just Oldenzaal but several other smaller specialist firms putting out quality work. Erik, is it something in the water? Don (owner of one Oldenzaal-blessed car)

There were 4 E3's at the recent Deutsche Klassik show in Norcross GA. The most I've seen in one place since 1972.

Point of reference: I just paid $750 just to to rechrome a straight center section. Gahh!

I'll be there in our '72 3.0S, out of the shop today after 3 months there. :mad:

Maybe all you guys on the left coast already know this, but I just had an excellent chat with Jim at Mesa Performance today. Needed some master/slave cylinder and a/c parts. I got those and some great advice for my recent Euro 72 3.0S. Highly recommended.

Never knew there were any E3 Alpinas. Love to know the story on that one. Don

Needed to jump start the coupe after it had been sitting (this was before float chargers). Rolled it out, raised the hood, attached the cables, and started the car. With the engine vibration, I watch the hood start to close in excruciating slow motion. Bam, nice new dent protruding where the...
