    What did you do to your E9 today?

    I made an adapter to connect my grease gun to the caliper. It makes way more pressure than an air compressor and got a really stuck piston out.

    Looks like the Concours will be on Saturday, September 30, 2023 from 8:00 am – 11:00 am at Fort Adams in Newport. I am on the fence about paying $50 to display my CS.

    Will I find any "goodies" in European dealers?

    The Musée National de l’Automobile is in Mulhouse, north west of Basel and south of Strasbourg. I was amazed at the size and quality of the collection on my first visit. Leave plenty of time to wander around. On my last visit I bought a discounted two-museum ticket that also included the Cité...

    Das Mutterland Shop Excursion

    These pictures were taken at the Fahrzeugmuseum in Marxzell. I have been regularly visiting that museum for about 30 years. When I am in Germany on business I stay in Ettlingen and drive to work in Straubenhardt, so I drive by the museum twice per day. The old Rhode Island license plates from my...

    Just purchased the two insert lights to my 1973 e9 rear bumper - several questions

    Lots of 73s have the 2002 like lights next to the license plate and filler plates in the bumper. Mine and several others I have seen have the 2002 lights next to the license plate, and unwired lights in the bumper. Do you actually have wires going to the lights in the bumper?

    1974 3.0 CS With M88 Engine (3.5 CSM)

    Looks like your motor mount heat shield has a crack at the bend. Will vibration eventually make the crack expand?

    Advice sought -- neighbor backed into my front fender.

    My CS got tapped in the back by a distracted driver. My insurance company suggested that I sue the other driver's insurance company directly. If I did that, I would have paid the legal costs and the decision might have taken a long time to settle. I told my insurance company that it is their...

    1/12 Scale CSL Model

    I just bought this Entex 1/12 scale 3.0 CSL kit for $100. The box was opened, but none of the parts packages have been opened. Everything inside says 3.5 CSL. This should keep me busy for a few days.

    ChatGPT writes a poem about the 3.0CS

    Sleek lines of a timeless design A car that turns heads, oh how divine The BMW 3.0CS, a beauty to behold With power and grace, it never gets old Its curves and angles, a work of art A symbol of style, a car with heart The roar of its engine, music to the ear Its power and speed, it's truly...
