What a missed opportunity! Entschuldigung Christoph! I did hop around the E3, and admired it. I hardly ever see one in the wild, so it was good to finally see it. For sure I will want to meet next year!

@Krzysztof I found a few of them in my parts stash. None NOS, but this one has the pipes intact; they suffer from corrosion, making it sometimes difficult to get a seal with the hose clamps on them.

why not stainless steel then?

ha, good catch!

Perhaps through @Hans W. ?

Not sure. i haven't looked at that small detail. Brass seems to be common. if you are just one or two pins cups short, then just try it if you have a lathe. Or you assemble the lock with a pin less. It'll also work :-) However, someone who would do this as a side business, just needs a bunch...

this may be an interesting addition: All the CSLs had the trapezoidal mirrors up to and including the last series Bat2 chassis 4355036. Gerrit https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/csl-mirror.7816/post-48781

@nathanegger To purchase? Then it's better to post a 'want to buy' in the parts section of the forum. You'll get more visitors there.

@jjs2800cs : very clever method, way better (drilling out the notches) than what I did (bending the rails open). I struggled to get the rails bend back into place and having the tracks run smooth again.

So being refurbed by BMW itself, is it fair game to pick on this one? (not sure if i can though...)

just wait, someone is going to need it in due time.

They are very E10, because E3&E9 use 5 nuts. It won't work with these 4 holes. :-)

I have some used ones. 30 euro's a piece. Let me know if needed. I will pull them out of my parts stash to check the state of the pipes, as they often suffer from corrosion.

Such great pics! Thanks.

Does anyone actually have a fresh image that @Stevehose mentioned in the original thread ? (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...

Fully agree, if i was in the market with a 10k budget, I'd drive up, look at the sills, door bottoms & fenders just (to be sure if they are as ok as they look in the pics) and buy it....

Interesting to see the yellowing in the enige bay. It isn't bad thing thing in my belief. You can't recreate patina.

Hey @Lambert , welcome to the forum. I'll give you a call. Let's continue via Whattsapp, or through the private message function here on the forum; that's the envelop icon on the top right of the webpage. Erik.

Indeed differences occur. W&N are generally quite ok, even more so when comparing to patch panels from othe suppliers. They are even quite ok when comparing to other panels for other brands. But yes, W&N panels are not always faultless. Also, many pressed parts from BMW underwent slight...

Man, you are FAST!
