I have to admit, it is one of my (and there are a few) pet peeves on BAT. A dealer is a dealer, there are dealers on hard surface sites all over the country who only take in consignments and they have to register as dealers. If you are taking profit out of selling cars on a regular basis, you...

If I may on your last point and I am certainly not saying this is what has happened. But one would use an aluminum trunk in a restoration for a possible few reasons. One, it enhances the offering to non knowledgable minds. It is often presumed that all CSL's have all four aluminum openings...

Hi Arde, Firstly, if your son is interested in further discussions about what we do as a company and the ups and downs of whats possible in mining I would be happy to impart an old grey headed (how I wish I had enough grey to cover my head :-)) business mind. I am certainly not technical, as...

That made me LOL :) The circle jerking support network of other dealers and a few punters has become the ruination of BAT for me, although Jim Jones would no doubt be proud of the sycophantic adulation being poured from dealer to dealer.

Hi Scott, Yes, many of them like Gillman, I could share so many horror stories for place that are similar. Even worse all over the country, in fact the world, there are these giant tailings dams full of contaminated water or just mountains of contaminated rock piles, again left for the average...

Funnily, small world eh? :) I now look forward to the day we meet in person even more We actually have now built more SART (sulfidization, acidification, recycling and thickening) plants than just about anybody out there, it's an interesting process (when done correctly) invented by one of our...

Gents, Might I comment as somebody who is involved in mining, has been involved in many projects over 35 years in many different countries and in the last few years helping lead a company involved in cleaning waste water in mining. I have spent most of those years on the other side of the...

Get well soon my friend

Thank you for this, but that looks very different to my picture, as I hope you can see, much bigger opening, maybe for the adjustable steering and the left hand edge that has broken on mine seems to be much longer than yours shows

Hi All, Well the 3.3Li came back from its year long exhibition and no doubt through age and nothing anybody did, the panel below the steering wheel has now cracked just above the orange button here. I have no idea if this panel is the same across the range of E3s, obviously not worried about...

Hi Oldbmwcoupes, With respect, this car wasn't really a reflection on values of M1s, although the car looked good on paper, it had lots of issues. For starters, all the federalization was still present, inside filler caps are really undesirable, the changes inside for federalization were...

As you know, last week was Car Week in Monterey and for many years, literally since I acquired the Peter Gregg/Frank Stella M1, The Quail have been asking for the car. This year they contacted me when it was at The Petersen in LA and said "come on Pete, it has to go north and come past us to...

Thank you guys, really was a a great day, and our favorite marque managed to be both the poster of the event and front of the magazine handed out to all entries. Although humbling, it's lovely to see our BMWs gaining such prominence amongst some of the worlds very best automobiles and of course...

Gents and Ladies, While this includes mostly M1 parts, this seller does have great stuff, but always been waaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the market, so far ahead it was obvious he wanted to keep these for life. It seems he may have reached the time in his life he wants everybody to know how crazy...

I am sorry to be the one, but somebody has to be, otherwise I can very easily see a law suit. This car is a CSA refitted with all CSL parts. A CSL replica yes, but a CSL sadly not. What identifies a car is the chassis, in this case the body shell and it doesn't even have its original engine...

Imagine it as a stretch limo, certainly better looking than any of them - C post is absolutely fantastic and you dont have to hang out the roof to have people look at you going to prom or down the pub :)

Well, as anybody who has come to my warehouse will know, what I call one of my major mistakes in collecting was buying a next to zero mileage car. How do I say this respectfully............. it's a brick, maybe a pretty brick, but still a brick. As the saying goes "the good thing is, its...

Scott, you know me well :-) This is tempting, especially the color, but have i got too many already, do I sell one to buy this - decisions, decisions :-)

Hi Fonzy, Very interesting story, I have no doubt a few people may be interested in the car. Can you please share a full series of detailed photos, including when being restored and of course the most important - price ? Thanks

Oh dear!! - as you can see, you have many friendly and knowledgeable commentators here, all trying to be kind, simply because you are a fellow forum member, if you were not, well, I will leave that there ........... But challenging Chris @wkohler on perfection or if he has a car - not...
