Where? HMM, that's almost too nice to hack up! Good point Bill, I hadn't really thought of that. I remember having injector leakdown issues and crank sensor issues w/ my 91 535 after 100k. Expensive and less than fun. @ Ran, thanks for the engine chart, that's helpful too. And yes, I...

Thanks Stan, that is a very viable option. Though I hadn't assumed that VSR was an engine builder (guess I should have asked). I don't think I'd need the port work although I'd be tempted if it didn't blow the labor cost out of control. I'd probably stick with stock or mild cam as well. The...

E9Wayne & Bertocchi: thanks, both sound advice. I did not know that about the wiring harness in the 89 635 - good to know. I explored this a few years ago and there were loads of opinions, including very specific donor cars that contained all the right bits. The 89 E24 (euro) sounds like it...

Over this winter, I'm strongly considering a 3.5 & 5spd swap for my '73 CSA. Specifically looking for the '88-94 735 or '89-94 535 for Motronics/wiring loom reasons. I've been noticing no shortage of '89-93 535i cars (some w/5spds) for between $800 and $4000). Since finding one with under...

this is definately that RonP resto coupe that generated the epic thread last year. Same ugly seats. Great car though! Without lighting a match near a powder-keg, can I ask......What did it eventually sell for?......or did it ever sell? Forget about the car, I'm drooling over the...

+1 That was a fantastic idea!

First thing that comes to mind is $1,500-$2,000 worth of Alpina rims (assuming they're not knock-offs and aren't banged up too badly). So somebody pays $2,500 (plus $1,000 shipping allowance), so say $3,000 all-in for a rolling shell and driveline after hocking the Alpinas. Can anyone find a...

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize greatness and genuflect to the "Yoda" of E9s for pointing out that all members on this board are inferior to 'his highness'. All hail Feri! From now on, when anyone on this board has an obscure E9 question they need answered, I think Feri just...

I watched the entire video last night, very cool! I didn't really care for the 6.3 tribute car, but the video shows more than enough E9 coverage, so its worth watching. One thing that amazed me in particular was the amount of body roll in those days. The Capris and the CSLs had one front...

is that supposed to be Lime Rock? I'm not a "gamer" but that's pretty cool. Can you change seasons and weather in the game?

@ DBLSPRT68 - did you happen to get the VIN # while you were there? Lets add this car to the registry as "gone forever".

certaintly hope it's not headed for the scrap yard! Lot of heavy lifting still required, but looks like it is still very viable. I think it's a "no reserve" auction, so somebody should throw thier hat in the ring.

anyone here know this car.....

July? I should have looked more closely. Jumped on the thread after koopman. thanks for the heads-up HBChris.

Mirrors PM sent regarding mirrors (item number yields no results on eBay)

Okay, so I tried to do my part to populate the registry with another coupe for which I have full documentation (but don't own). I didn't want to fill out the email address and user name as "the owner" because I am not in fact the owner. Spent about 20 minutes sifting through records...

Grill Badge I mounted on the right side, but saw a few on left. I've never put a grill badge on a car before, so is there any unwritten rule of thumb where they go? I'd hate to find out that it's code for something ridiculous.....(like ear ring in left ear, or anklet on womens ankle...

Whether you're a purist (like myself) or not, you have to appreciate the bold call grafting a 530 or Bav hind quarters onto a E9. Wouldn't be my choice, but looks surprisingly well-executed. Are the dimensions that similar, or is there some other trick?

When rust has permeated the nose over the grill like that, I can't imagine what the rest looks like. Hey, its a CSL though, right? so I guess it's worth restoring. I'd buy it and use it as a flower bed, just to have the bragging rights to own a CSL. EDIT: MOST IMPORTANTLY - Somebody...

Just received my two (White & Golf) in the mail. Not that my expectations were low by any means, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. As soon as somebody mentions things being made in China, all bets are off in terms of quality. These are really nice and with good detail too...
