    Glove compartment spring

    They are probably missing because they tend to break and often fly off into the abyss where small E9 parts always go. Without at least one spring, the glove box flops down rather abruptly. I'm not sure that my one remaining spring is even original and I probably just got a reasonable match at...

    First ever E9 seen in person

    I was taking my 2002 tii in for service at Ott and Berger BMW in Williamstown, MA in 1972. There were a bunch of people standing outside the dealership, so I went outside to see what was going on. What I saw was one of the salesmen behind the wheel of a brand new dark blue metallic 3.0 CS. He...

    Hi, new(isn) here - 1st post.

    Welcome and remember when looking at cars, there is only one four letter word that applies to the CS series. It begins with R and ends with T.

    What radio for 72 csl?

    If you're a purist, stop reading this post now. But if you want a modern radio with things like Bluetooth and USB, then take a look at RetroSound 's Model 2: http://www.retrosoundusa.com/products/category/id/14 I retrofit one in my 72 CS. It fit perfectly and looks almost stock. They...

    Standalone Battery Tender? (marginally Coupe-related)

    "griots garage sells a nice battery quick disconnect" I have that same one. If you have a battery that is a bit high (an Optima for example) , you might have to fool with the positioning of the switch or it will hit the hood hinge. I got mine from Summit Racing. They have a bunch of...

    Center Console Options (?)

    After I saw the first few posts in this thread, I started looking around for possible options on eBay and I saw one of those from an E24. It may not be the color that I am looking for, but I'll let everyone know if it fits. From the description, it's really more of a back seat console that is...

    Center Console Options (?)

    I'd look at some of the mid-early Corvette (1960s to 1970s) options such as these: http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/interior-parts-and-trim/interior-convenience/interior-storage.html You might even be able to roughly match the interior color if you are lucky. The 1968 Corvette has a...

    My car turns over but does not start?

    Try squirting a little starter fluid into the air filter housing, crank her up and see if the engine catches and runs a bit. If it does, I would check your electric fuel pump.

    "Advanced" Weber Downdraft tuning

    Hagerty has a recent article that's relevant to the disparity: http://www.hagerty.com/classic-car-articles-resources/Features/News/All-Articles/2013/08/13/Horsepower I could be wrong, but the stock 3.5L M30 engines were rated at 218 bhp, so the MM versions are at least that. If I put it on a...

    "Advanced" Weber Downdraft tuning

    I just put a Metric Mechanic 3700 Sport engine (M30 rated at 270 HP) in my 1972 3.0CS with dual Webers. Here's my jetting (old settings for the original 3.0L engine are in parentheses): PRIMARY idle 75 (60) main 160 (140) air correction 180 (170) - although I did try 200 SECONDARY...

    What do you drive when not driving the E9???

    I want to update my answer (and promise not to laugh). Being in upstate NY doesn't leave one with too many options to the coupe for the either winter or rainy days. I still use my 2005 330xi daily, but we also just bought a 2013 X1. Our X1 has the twin turbo 2.0L engine with an 8 speed...

    WTB: Accelerator pedal

    Hah! Yeah, typo on my part. 70 Eur is still a bit steep for something that might just break again.

    WTB: Accelerator pedal

    Thanks, but unfortunately (or fortunately) The circular part is still resting on the pedal, but it is now a semi circle. The bottom piece broke off at some point and I was never able to find it. But you did give me some good ideas on how to make a temporary repair in the mean time. What was the...

    Sure, I'll try it, if you think it would work.
