Much nicer than their old facility. Now they have space to show off the cars. I’ll have to visit next Spring.

I hope that my car finishes close to your beautiful condition. I admired your car at the Vintage a few years ago. The story behind it make it complete. Thanks for sharing the details
Out with the old, in with the newly chromed 2800 CS center tail panel. Also cleaned the inside of the tail light lenses.
Andrew, I am doing the same swap on mine so I have continuity with the chrome from one end to the other. Looks great!
Had a great photo shoot this morning in Greenville SC. Will be a few weeks before I see the final photos. Here’s a sneak peek of a few I took.

FS pics? 
Any problems finding gas on your drive down or were there any anxious moments watching the fuel gauge?
Nice shots! Did you head to Amelia next ? I couldn’t make it this year because my wife had me booked with the next three weekends away and it was just too much.
No problems getting fuel.

Headed home Sunday.
I guess what I admire most, is that she looks like a trailer queen, but has the miles of a Greyhound bus. Great shots in Greenville.
I love the above picture in the nest, where Veronika looks to be hanging ten on the luggage rack of Athena. Chrome tag is nice touch.

2,180ish to The BMW CCA Foundation & back, Athena didn't skip a beat. As always, the last to leave. Arrived home Monday at 8:15 pm.
Are you taking the red one home too?
Following @Stan's lead, I bought a Fritz Bitz Stainless Exhaust. I retained the stock CSi exhaust manifold & it was plug & play according to VSR. The system does not include any hardware.
Review: It is a little louder than the stock system yet not by very much, which I like. If your Coupe has headers & a 3.5 like Stan's it will be proportionately louder when accelerating & slightly louder at cold start & idle.

that is very tasty, I suppose the stock rear tail pipe can be bolted on to the back muffler in order to retain the chrome tip? Looks like it would.
Nope, 60mm too big 55mm too small.
If it could be fitted, the tail pipe would be smaller diameter than the preceding exhaust parts. Backpressure issues.
Andrew, No diff on a driven E9 should be that clean! Are you sure you don’t have two identical E9’s, one for photos and the other to drive?
I keep keep her pretty clean & VSR helps. I apologize for the dirty driver side half shaft.
My old AM/FM Blaupunkt Frankfurt suddenly stopped playing one day, it seems the internal amp quit. So I bought a new old LMKUU Blaupunkt Frankfurt which is more appropriate for her original Italian delivery. I am also going to install a Mark II Bluetooth Receiver which doesn't need a radio. http://www.outofsightaudio.com/mark-2.html
