    What non-e9 color would look the best on an e9?

    I feel Alpina Blue or Green could work- but I agree with @rsporsche so many great colors to pick from already

    Official thread of parts for sale w/ridiculous prices?

    Maybe that guy with the front spoiler will give it to the guy with the actual car. After all he has had his years of fun with it :-) Not my car BTW, I believe Kevin Ladd's car. I know, I am kidding myself :D

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Ok, many comments here First, as somebody who has a golf CSL and loves it, this car does not look Golf to my old imperfect eyes. Just look at the yellow lines on the road, when Golf is next to yellow, it really does show its green and when its next to green it really does show yellow. Odd...

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Me too - imagine trying to buy a car and all the other personal in the dealership, or in a private sale, if all the neighbors came along and told you (without prompting) what a great guy/girl the seller is or how wonderful the car is ........I know I would run away, as fast as my little legs...

    1973 3.0CSL on Sotheby's auction soon.

    Hi Scott You are correct my friend, the car that famously wore the number 25 when winning at Sebring in 1975 with Redman, Stuck, Posey and Moffat, sits amongst its siblings in my warehouse. It currently has the Group 5 bodywork BMW put on it by BMW Motorsport in March 1976 when it was made...

    CrackGP was a scammer. Now deleted.

    Dan, You can only do your best and sorry to the member who lost here. Just a wild suggestion. Would it make sense to have some kinda participation involved before you can sell - time involved, posts, likes etc ? I know that will preclude the odd genuine part, but eh, they still have Ebay...

    Sending large but light parcels

    Thank you everybody for your kindness As an update if anybody is or will be dealing with similar issue going forward Both @JMinPDX and @tferrer suggestion of Pirate shipping was a good shout on the one to the UK, they can do that one for $373......sadly they said the other one to NJ is too big...

    Sending large but light parcels

    A question for the hive mind I have two large but very light boxes, one going to NJ and one to the UK. Both are paintings which are gifts to each of my sons. I tried FedEx and they were $1,100 for the one to the UK and almost $800 to NJ, both from Seattle Sizes are 58" x 41" x 5" to UK...

    Celebrity CSL

    As somebody who looks more than comments, but knows and respects both Markos and HB Chris as men and for all they do for the community, I feel the need to state the obvious here. We lose good kind people here because of exactly the above - its how we lost Yannick and others, its why the most...

    CSL Auction Results / Sales

    Hi Rouge Far from a record price at auction - €578,750 is the current record price in a public auction and this was for a car with a non matching numbers engine, although last Bat made. I had the Bonhams car looked at the weekend and unfortunately, while they claim that is a matching numbers...

    BaT Strikes(or doesn't) Again

    Dick and its sad, because as a community site and an idea, it is and was great idea. But the saturation of dealers on the site either selling for somebody else or something they purchased because "that would do well on BAT". Means more and more is being hidden from buyers, who at the moment...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    @wkohler nice write up and great contribution to the subject matter, thank you. Knowing a little about you, I don't think there is any part of this subject on hand and or anybody who could described you as a dealer, not a bit, you simply are not a dealer Dick in asking for comments in...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    @howS enjoy the game, both of them. The question and the heading of the post asks a simple question - is somebody a dealer or a private seller? Honesty and transparency, thats all that is being asked Now go have fun P.S absolutely nothing wrong with you guys all supporting each other, go...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    Yes, Keshav the drum beaters are also another issue that would be answered by identification as a dealer, as most are other dealers, maybe as I mention above with some kind of different color on their comments. I realize I am talking as a potential buyer and or a simple member of this E9...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    Hi @howS Thank you for well thought out contribution, you sound like a good dealer. You put in the time and effort to do a stellar job and most importantly you correct identify yourself as a dealer, thank you for that. Nobody imagines its easy selling on BAT, in fact I think everybody here...

    BaT's explanation of "Dealer" vs "Private Party" sale

    This answer is legal gobbledegook intended to do exactly what it has done, confuse the matters. It certainly doesn't answer your question. For my two pennies, I just banged this down quickly, didn't even spell check and my thoughts are probably incoherent, but it is a Friday night and the boss...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    Hi Stevehose, I never had one come off on a street Bat, remembering the center upright is bolted through the roof and the correct clip also clamps to the structure of the roof, not just the trim, absolutely no reason to worry at street speeds.................unless :)......well at speeds I...

    1974 3.0CSL on BaT

    Ouch - yes, that actually hurts me to look at it should make every E9 lover wince. It should only intrigue you, if you could stabbed in the stomach by a stranger, standing totally non plussed looking at said stranger and say "thats intriguing" otherwise your reaction should be more in keeping...
