Euro 1973 BMW 3.0CSi
Bid for the chance to own a Euro 1973 BMW 3.0CSi at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #52,000.
Golf csi on BAT
- Thread starter ccr2002
- Start date
Looks very well done. Should hit six figures easily.
Another nice 1973 car with the appropriate first bid. $19,730.00
I do spot some rough metal repairs on the bottom. Some panels have sections replaced without having the welds nicely dressed.
Nevertheless; if this was done in 2000 as the add claims, the metal and paint work have been excellent as it still looks pristine.

I feels like the E9 is starting to become like the ubiquitous Porsche 911 and Alfa GTV auctions on BAT. On any given day there are 3-4 FS.
maybe E9’s are not as uncommon as some believe.
Lots of effort spent on this car. New floor pans look better installed than 90% of what I’ve seen.
was this done at CK or VSR1?

Pretty car. Would love to see inside the trunk.
I like to see this Golf Coupe has the same seats as my CSi which I have been told are 2800CS seats.

Unique use of fuel hose as brake hose and windshield washer hose as coolant overflow hose.
What kind of wheels are those? They look rare.
The seats are early 2800cs seats. The non scalloped headrests with the full real chrome finisher that goes across the bottom of the headrest. The seat back release lever at the hinge is what makes it an early seat. The downside of the the lever location is interference with the seatbelt.
overall a very well presented car. i think this will do well. nice photography and cool color. i suspect it will do very well ... might do even better if it had bbs rs wheels (just kidding)
Misunderstood engine braking ???
Some details that stuck out for me:
- Using screws on door trim...
- Headlight access covers held with some weird screws, not the white plastic originals
- Roundels in the side window flap knobs
- Rear speaker upholstered-in
- Exhaust corrosion vs. other undercarriage parts
- It is a Euro but the left mirror location is US ?
Love the color and the tire tread pattern!
Seems like a strange coincidence for both CSis have 2800CS seats. This Golf Coupe is 1675 VINs from mine.
Needs Scroth 3 point harnesses like mine.
Yes it needs a set of 16 RSs & then sky's the limit!
Look closely people…
rusting hardware
wrong hardware
RTV oozing from the valve cover
distributor in wrong
wrong hoses
leaking coolant
sand blasted hardware
rusty caliper hardware
and all the suspension and steering gear rattle canned black along with the safety wire
No receipts, no names…..
Buyers need to do a physical PPI

Remind me to never open my hood when Don is around. 
Don, couldnt some of this be reusing unrestored hardware ! I’m thinking of that hose clamp specifically. The Thermo cover hardware has me confused, but I agree it looks painted after installation…
What is the little grill on the fold down armrest in picture 120?
There is no fender VIN tag. Maybe it never got reinstalled, you would hope they actually have it and that it would go with the car.

M6 x 25 bolts are 22 cents each.... the question is why used old hardware, why does the housing need nuts when its threaded, why are there 2 washers on each bolt. Why doesn't the valve cover fit and need gobs of RTV?
A car from an unnamed shop in California goes to a unnamed shop in Portland, where the unnamed owner made a deal with an unnamed client. With no receipts or documentation. Now for sale with spray painted bushings and ball joints and rusty hardware on the brakes.
I'm missing it.

Pretty sure I know who the unnamed shop and he is no longer in business.

Odd blacked spare tire well (which the center looks odd too):
