Birgit The Wonder Bavaria, my son Ethan, and I have returned home from a 1600-mile round-trip to The Vintage. Other than running 2/3 of the way up the gauge (which is to say, running like every other Bavaria ever made, even when they were new), she functioned flawlessly. Absolutely remarkable...

wrong thermostat! Fun resurrecting this old thread. Was sorting out the Bavaria I just bought. The car had been in storage for many years. My driving it in ever-widening circles was the first mileage it'd seen in a long long time. It was running a bit hot, like 3/4 of the way up the gauge, so I...

I just brought home a '72 Bavaria whose a/c, of course, was non-functional. Thought I'd use it to give a quick example here. I hooked up the gauges to the low and high side fittings of the compressor. While screwing in the gauge fittings, I did NOT hear any gas escaping, so likely none in...

Not to plug my book, but... ...the single longest chapter in my book is on rejuvenating a/c in our old cars. I take you step-by-step through exactly what you're asking.

Amy, great seeing you at SharkFest. I have a radiator that Mark Priesendorf, who inherited The Silicon Garage from the late Curt Ingraham, built for me. That thread is here: http://e9coupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8474 It solved all of my E9's cooling issues. Unfortunately, I then...

Yeah, I think this center support bearing was bad Ya think?

Yup, '74 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special. Long story there. Bought sight-unseen in Chicago, 20k miles on it, hasn't moved since '79, seized engine. Had it trucked to Boston. Very first repair was removing and tearing down the engine. The engine's been at a machine shop since late August. I haven't...

The Burgermeister Has Landed The Burgermeister has landed. The first of many family photos of the '72tii, the '72 Bav, and the '73 3.0CSi. I could put an Instagram filter on it and shoot my own '70s BMW ads. Like the E24 I had a few years back, the Bavaria is too long to fit in my garage...

I'm off to Kittery ME to pick up the Bavaria I put a deposit on last fall. 49k on the odometer, not a rust hole anywhere I can find, in storage for many years, started right up when I looked at it and settled immediately into an even idle without oil or coolant smoke. The pipe dream is that I...

all this, and a batmobile And Scott Blazey had his Polaris CSL batmobile there. Yum.

I was living in Austin TX 82 through 84. I'd had the 2002 bug since I was 13, and bought my first through 6th 2002S in Austin. I'd routinely cruise neighborhoods and look down driveways for cars. While doing this, I saw the beautiful subtle curves of an E9 and was immediately irrevocably...

I just repaired my odometer with the part from Odometer Gears I just repaired my odometer with the part from Odometer Gears. Jeff is a great guy, enormously helpful. Here's the thing. If the gear that's bad is the one at the END of the shaft, you DON'T need to pull the face off the...

BavBob, I found Classic in upstate NY. They have the 2800 exhaust on their web site but not the 3.0 exhaust. That's why I was asking if anyone knew if there was a problem using the 2800 exhaust on a 3.0 engine.
