Wonderful weather and tremendous turnout for the Albany "Patroons" BMWCCA Chapter. Thanks to Frank Greppo, et al, for a great event at the Saratoga Automobile Museum. There were about eleven e9s, a sea of o2s, and a host of other beautiful cars - possibly a few hundred in total. Great seeing...

I like the color better on your e9. The s2000, like the e9, is low and long, which promotes the color. Every few years the height of the o2 makes me want to put the trim back on and do a wrap ala the Alpina race cars. Without the belt line, the cut line is lost on the door. Off topic but...

I used GMC's white diamond pearl on my o2. My painter thought the Chamonix was a little flat and I deferred. He suggested that it was close enough to Chamonix. Toward staying on topic, maybe the pearl used in GMC formula used in the OEM paint might be attractive? In the sun, it has a creamy or...

Chris, I heard that complaint before and almost scrapped the bar on the Polaris. I found that the light switch above the torsion bar was sitting a little high. Adjusting it allowed the hood to close better but I'm still not satisfied with the middle section. I know some take a 2'x4' to it but...

Thank you, I noticed a "pinch" in the paint on the drivers fender. I mentioned it in my last post and thought the image was in my initial post in the thread. Anyway, it wasn't but you're on point. I'm going to adjust and report back.

The .02 cents are appreciated. The hood wasn't closed enough for the seal to get in the way. That can of worms will probably become an issue but is expected. Regarding the air box, it's not installed and was not in place when the hood was not closing. It was placed back in to close up the car...

Thank you. If you notice my blue clip is sitting higher than the csi set up. I started to pull it off and turn it but thought better of it as this swap is supposed to be straight forward.

Thank you, Don and Peter. I have new foam on the hood as well but it appeared as if that was inconsequential.

I came across this thread which speaks to other mounts but I'm curios about the lowered height before going and buying parts to occupy my parts bin. Maybe this post may jog the memories of @sfdon, @Rek, @lloyd and @inovermyhead? Original thread...

Finally finished up the plumbing on top of the intake and attempted to close the hood. I noticed the cold air plug sits about .5" too high to allow it. Has anyone else experienced problems with engine height and hood closure on their engine swap? I was brainstorming with HBChris and the...

I should have one that I removed from my coupe when deleting side markers. I will check condition and if it meets your specs, you can have it for free. PM your timetable and contact info.

Kurt, Please include the relay holder with my order. Thanks, Roger

Scott just helped me with this same issue/concern. Use solder and tack it in a few spots. Regards.

Ugh but it was still helpful at the time, as are most images at some point. I still appreciate the time you took, thanks. Assuming you have a window intact maybe you can post how the "correct" rubber gasket aligns with the gaskets beneath it, i.e., if and/or how it stacks? I will leave the...

Hi all, I had an issue with mine as well. They should not be cut if you have a factory piece. Markos pulled a window a few months back as a reference for me and might be able to chime in. I believe they were mounted on both sides of the glass at the bottom but it had multiple accompanying...

Hi Marco, thank you!

I recently purchased braided brake hose from LaJolla. Carl Nelson shared that the US DOT has deeemed the braided blue hose to be non compliant due to a color technicality and only the grey/black iteration can be sold (legally) in the US. My coupes are modified and I prefer the darker hose. As...

Hello all, had the coupe on the highway and lost both hood base frame and roundel. Roundels are available but at present the base frame (51145780170) is NLA. If anyone has a spare they would like to sell, please PM me. Thank you in advance.

Hi Stan, I was looking for one side last year. Please mail me a pair. PM or call me and let me know how you would like payment. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Simufly, local options available so I will save your part for someone in need on your side of the pond. Thank you for extending yourself. Rob and George (NYCCSI), thank you for the vendor options. Haseeb, thank you and PM sent on unrelated but e9 stuff.
