    E3 Wondercar Collection at Lemay-Tacoma, WA

    Well some bad news people, Christian flew the cars in from Germany, and LeMay Museum (Americas Car Museum) decided to cancel the exhibition, after the cars had landed and were on the ground at SeaTac. I won't get into the mud on why, to say there is some upset and frustration would be an...

    Great to see you on here @kladd . Last time I saw your CSL it was at the 100 year celebration in 2016, which produced one of my all time favorite pictures and one I find hard to believe we will ever be able to do again, so glad we did.

    1972 BMW 3.0 CSL E9 Auction

    Hi @xjan99, I think we are talking about different things here. The car being discussed had a body shell change, using a body shell from a car that already had an identity, so I think (or hope)we all are agreeing - what it is and what it isn't. Your car used a 120D shell and you have...

    1972 BMW 3.0 CSL E9 Auction

    This car is a CS - period. I have had this discussion so many times and of course with values rising, we will sadly no doubt see more and more.. The body/chassis - ie the actual body the car was born as, is the car. John Castle is a nice guy and I am sure this is may be a nice car, but I...

    CSL on BAT

    Hello all, As Keshav mentioned, I sent the seller down a set of hood props and the fitting it goes in on the hood, he just hadn't installed. The reason the prop wasn't there, is it previously had one of those fancy aluminum strut braces which contained the prop magnetically, but in removing...

    CSL on BAT

    @tferrer It is a big-rear end - but, don't ever say that to a lady :) 1975 the car raced as a GP 4 car so had the standard looking rear wing and front spoiler. In March 1976 the car was back at Motorsport in Munich and the mechanics converted it to a GP 5, which necessitated a ton of...

    CSL on BAT

    Hi Chris my friend, I know you were aware of the things needed when I purchased as we spoke about it. Many on my personal list I dealt with and some just didn't get around too, some you mentioned, but by at the time the deal was done I hadn't eaten through my list. Many cars mean my list is...

    CSL on BAT

    yes sir - I cannot tell you how chuffed I am (like a big kid) to now have added this to the collection. Again, I have some work to improve it, taking it back to as close as possible to how it won at Sebring 1975 in Gp 4 specification, which I will be doing, having the correct IMSA front...

    CSL on BAT

    Yes guys and gals, I bought from Chuck, as he had put on here and it seemed to stay available for a long time, with lots of nice comments, but nobody picking up on it, at what seemed an extremely fair price. I knew the car well as I was actually the under bidder in London when Chuck bought...

    I have to agree, doubt many in the world exists with this attention to detail and with a truly honest description from kind and trustworthy seller.

    Roundel cover photo of Bmws new swollen marshmallow

    Ok, time to put on the hard hat, say my piece and then duck behind the parapet - as such, I will say goodbye here at the start :) I have loved the new grills from day one, yes, I said it, day one, and have tried to defend them to anybody who would listen, many times needing that hard hat and a...

    Any Economists here?

    Arde, I complete agree with you on the Anti Trust issue raised, but my overall comment is, these discussion, as heated and emotional as they can become are for elsewhere on the internet, not on a page where we try and leave political discourse to family Thanksgiving dinner tables :-)

    Any Economists here?

    Some interesting comments above, but please, let's stop the political rant guys. No doubt you are a good car owner and a welcome part of the community, which is great, but lets not go down this rat hole people. The question is should the 18c tax be cut, will you see the benefit or not? I...

    Very Rusty '72 RHD CSL for sale on Bonhams

    Eh guys, at least we can see it has the correct aluminum panels and it is honest. I had to look at one in the in the UK last week (although a LHD) and it had a covering paint job many years ago and the rust (on the outside) at the bottom of A pillars was the size of your hand and we all know...
