    Vent window glass replace

    A word of caution: I have had them apart (to rechrome the thin frame around the glass (as these parts´ chrome often looks, if not pitted, at least not very shiny, and have not aged as well as the big frame). 2 issues here: the threads of the small screws are very delicate, and easily damaged...

    E9 driving feel

    I have extremely tight and discreetly modified coupes and E-types. The latter came out in ´61 , 4 yrs before the 2000CS, which is the E9, but with a 4 cyl engine. The BMW is the better of the two, from a handling wiewpoint. They both rust of course. The CSi cost twice as much as the E, in Sweden...

    In defense of 14" rims

    14" with XWX is the best in my view. I have it on most of them. 3 have the 16" with modern low profile tyres. A bit better on hard cornering, but too rough when driving normally on less than perfect roads. Personal taste on what looks best, but I find the 14" and lowered suspension is very...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Almost did a Mille Miglia. 900 miles in 25 hrs incl 7 hrs of sleep in a hotel in Germany. Drove the Turkis (I call my coupes by their colours) from Southern Sweden to Switzerland. It used just 3mm of oil on the dipstick, BUT when I pulled up to the last gas station I heard a terrible noise from...

    A-post switch not working on 2 cars...

    Both function now work! All I did was to pull out the switch from the A-post ans spray some WD 40 while pressing the spring loaded contact with plenty of paper behind. As I put it back and inserted the screw, I heard the clicking from the relay (one of the 3 small, as the larger, black one is...

    A-post switch not working on 2 cars...

    Thanks to both of you, and yes, the window regulator switch does not work (as it should) with ignition off and door open. One of the 3 relays, up and to the left in the fuse compartment is the culprit here.

    A-post switch not working on 2 cars...

    on 2 of my cars, the interior light comes on when opening the right/passenger door, but not when opening the driverś door. A relay involved...? I know there is a wire vonnection behind the kick panels, and A-post contacts which can malfunction. And the reverse light contact on one car is phony...

    Turn indicators not working

    It was actually the turn signal relay, which is mounted vertically just under the steering column. I had a new one among my spares. The hazard warning relay is one of the 3 on the upper left side in the space with the fuse box.

    Turn indicators not working

    the fuse is good, can change the relay to see what happens. The rear turn signals wires are attached correctly. What else can go wrong? No hazard lights either. Peder

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    I drove one of my E9s the 350 miles from Stockholm to my summer house. My turn signals are not working on this car, which I haven´t used for a few years. I will change the relay and see what happens. Once or twice it would give one or two green lights, and then nothing. The hazard warning is not...
