    Need help identifying this part under glovebox? rhd

    nosmonkey, sfdon is correct. One terminal takes 12v from the light switch and changes the resistance for earth path of the automatic gear selector lights. This dims the gear selector lights at night. Rod

    73 CS Electrical advise sought

    I had similarly strange electrical issues when recommissioning my E9 - indicator switch would make the alternator light flash etc. It turned out to be two identical plugs under the dash that were connected to the wrong way around into the car loom..... There are two identical 12 pin (from...

    Early LDH UK imports?

    Wes, Mine is a November '72 built RHD CSA (now 5-speed manual). Originally delivered to the UK, now in Brisbane. Most of the LHD to RHD conversions were done on 2800CS models in Dover before RHD production started. In an interesting factoid - You can tell these cars by the flat in the wooden...

    Finally!!!

    I had very similar issues to the electrical issues you describe. My issue was the instruments and steering column electrics were connected incorrectly into the main loom. The instrument cluster plugs into the main loom with a 12 (from memory) pin plug, and the steering column loom also joins...

    It might be anodised aluminium - check with a magnet first.

    A day down under- look what we've been missing

    It was good to catch-up with Vern, Don and Mark at Gary's. Two guys from the US visiting Australia to help build an engine speaks volumes for the passion for E9s on this forum. My orange car is also has hard to get parts sourced through this forum - LSD from David in Orlando, wiper motor from...

    Csi vs CS

    The CSL has rarity and race pedigree on its side - this outweighs any real performance gain over the CS and CSis. I think that the performance step from a CS to a CSi is not that large - about 10 additional hp. Ultimately the market is more concerned with body condition over a small variation...

    Formal intro, '67 2000CS now in the Austin, Texas area

    Boobouna, I know of two 2000 CSs in Australia - both were here in Queensland at one stage. The first is a neat condition yellow/beige coloured car that was sold to South Australia about two years ago. The other was a rusted out yellow car that was in the Gold Coast hinterland as part of a...

    Australian 1973 BMW 3.0 CS

    I'm not planning on driving the orange car to Sydney in December - the kids would not endure the 10-12 hour drive. We will be flying and hiring a car. The Alpina airbox was sourced from another E9CopueForum member in France - very good to deal with. The airbox makes the triple Webbers run...

    Australian 1973 BMW 3.0 CS

    A very original ceylon car was for sale here in Queensland a bit over a year ago. It was in the Chapel Hill / Kenmore area. I never saw the car - I only heard of its condition from another E9 owner (I will PM you his details) who is very knowledgable with these cars, and BMWs in general. The...

    Australian 1973 BMW 3.0 CS

    Welcome. Your E9 looks in very original condition. This car looks very similar to one which sold here in Queensland early last year (I think). From what I understood of that Qld car is that it was all original and only the bonnet had been repainted. Also, my E9 is about 80 VIN numbers younger...
