    73 CS on BAT

    My car is this car's VIN twin, well +1, so it was probably in the factory at the same time. Curiously, the original specs are identical with just the sunroof being the only difference. If the owner is on the forum, I'd be curious to know where the car is going. Matt 2250392

    I had this on my E3 but removed it. Forgot to give it to the new owner. It looks like it would fit on an E9, but I’m not 100% sure. Is anyone interested? Thank you Matt

    Dumb question (clutch repair related)...

    It’s national Clutch failure week apparently. My 76 3.0si’s clutch pedal just hit the floor with no warning. I have fluid under the car and none in the footwell, so I’m guessing it’s time for a new slave cylinder. Thanks for all of the good info here, as usual! Sent from my iPhone using...
