Two Bavarias for sale in Placentia, California The family of Pat Braden, avid car guy, author and Alfa Romeo expert, will be holding a sale of Pat’s remaining items in Placentia (Orange County), California on Saturday, August 23rd. Among the items for sale will be: Three vintage German...

Uh, remember: these are the people who released this:

Imagine the air conditioning load that all-glass roof is going to create. <tried to post a link to the photo, but BMW wouldn't allow it>

As Scott and Chris noted, only the high beam circuit has a relay on the earlier coupes. I guess BMW figured that a relay was justified to handle the current for 4 headlight filaments, but not for 2. If you want to add a relay for the low beams, it isn't too difficult. The hardest part is...

OK, thank you!

What about part #17, the "Guide", p/n 51245676219? That shows as "Ended". Anyone have a lead on a supplier who might be 3-D printing or otherwise reproducing these?

Most likely an e-flasher will solve that issue. My coupe was doing that too and it cleared up when I installed an e-flasher. But there are LOTS of things that can mess up e9 turn signal operation, so I don't want to imply that I am 100% certain that an e-flasher will fix your issue. But, it's...

OK, thank you. 1/4" it is!

Don: Do you use the 1/4" or 1/2" thick version? What would necessitate the thicker pad? A "hot" cam perhaps? ;)

The adapters made by JAM will position the air cleaner too far backward. But other adapters, such as Redline's, keep it in the original fore-aft position. See threads at: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/restored-cs-air-cleaner-and-weber-adapters.44913/#post-395678 and...

Yes! That is part 51211803685. For the life of me, I couldn't grab a picture of it. So my questions becomes: "Is that one of the five clips that goes into the slot where my pencil is pointing in the above photo and secures each outer door trim?" I hope so, because part 51211803685 is still...

Thank you Jim - I appreciate any help that I can get. But I think the part in you pictures is the inner trim for the top of the door; the one that has the walnut panel. What I am working on is the trim on the outside of the glass. Here is a shot of where one of the five clips holding the...

Are both of the parts I asked about, the rubber seal and the "U" shaped clip, NLA? I sure hope not! The rubber seal I can live without. Mine look pretty bad and I though it would be easy to replace them while I have things apart. But the car will still run with my old seals (luckily, I...

I have two questions regarding the chrome trim that goes on the outside top of the doors. 1) The rubber seals that go against the vent window frames (adjacent to the cross hatching in photo below) are cracked and brittle, so I’d like to replace them. Is this part #9 or 12 in the diagram below...

No, you can't put an 1157 -type bulb into an 1156 socket. The 1157's have their two locking nubs offset, so that the bulb can only be inserted one way (see below). This ensures that the two, different wattage filaments (brighter for turnsignal / brake, dimmer for tail) get connected to the...

Alright, thank you for the photo of the correct part and explanation of why there is a hexagonal socket on the e9 pivot. Still, I have to say that the e12 pivots do work OK and don't look all that incorrect.

Chernobyl, actually. But sure, I'd paint it at a minimum, since it will be going on a new headliner.

I think I'm finally starting to understand. So I think you are saying: - The plastic mounts I recently received from W&N are correct for an e9. - However, the bent, metal shafts connect the mounts to the sunvisors that I have (see first photo below) are not correct; these should have a...

Arde: Thank you for the fast reply! Can you clarify what you meant by "it came with a shaft"? Do you mean that your plastic piece came with a second part - probably made of metal - that fits into that hexagonal hole? Do you recall who you got it from? W&N and Maximillian's site just show...

I realize that there are a LOT of existing threads about sunvisor pivots. Most of these are of the "where can I get them?" form, or announce a new and improved version made from titanium or kryptonite. But I've got a different issue: My existing pivots aren't original; I probably got them...
