Yes I do and thank you The first few had some small differences. I haven't seen all 12 produced in 1973, but I understand the first six had subtle differences, for instance, mine has white spoiler, hand-built air box, and a few other things that distinguish it from the production cars that...

He was one of my first reach outs, sadly no luck - but thank you for the heads up. Doing well thank you, hope the same with you Best Pete

Thank you Lucas - much appreciated

Hi Don, Thats a good shout, I know him as well, lovely guy Thanks Pete

Guys, on a bit of a wing and a prayer here. Moderators, please remove if not appropriate as it's not E9 (is period BMW though :-) ) Starting to do the last strokes on a multi-year restoration on my 2002 Turbo (chassis number 1) and I am missing the front half of the exhaust BMW part number 18...

Many years ago (late 90s) I was in China with a Chinese American fellow. After the obligatory evening of the drinking game, with the leaders of his different manufacturing companies he had relocated from the US to China, the friendship and conversations the next morning were more open. So I...

So very well said - nicely done

I certainly can understand why they loved it - I also love that badge, but you know why .......enjoy that beauty my friend

First on the Bens E9 - by the way, Ben is a lovely guy and has a few other toys. When he bought the E9, he was meticulous about finding the most original he could, and that is what he now has, including the period ding protection. Look at that gorgeous interior, absolutely superb. Now to...

Hi Sandhu Not me, unfortunately. With seven CSLs and three of them starting life as early Carb CSLs, I am good for a while :-) Best Pete

Kevin You are correct - the new owner is sympathetic to its originality and will be doing almost as you mention with subtle clean up here and there, no doubt. The idea of taking an original piece - say a piece with paint overspill on - and clean it up and put it back, what a wonderful...

I really like it Vince - although I am a little biased :-) - as you say, it works with the Fjord really well, and it works with Chamonix as well in my humble opinion, it lengthens the car in a nice way Nicely done

and I do exactly that Arde :-)

School of life/hard knocks here :-) - no conventional schooling as such, besides when the truant officer visited Mum (ouch) I then appeared for a week or two, had a little fun and went back to work, which I loved. School was for sports and chasing girls, (wasnt it ) that part was ok in my...

Scott, I have to agree, that inner fire wall around the fuses is better than most of the shiny cars I get to see. Looks like the seller is being forthright here, actually refreshing to see Good luck on the sale @ScottE9Project

I believe that's 4355049, bought at the Amelia Island auctions RM Auctions in 2022. Showing just half of it, says a lot more than one might imagine :-)

Ben is very active on FB, you might ask him?

The pictures of the Broadspeed car are in this link - but this is not 2211342 as the link suggests. This is 2211342 - which is the Werks Olympic (Olympia) Rallye CSL,

I love the purity of the original and feel this is when it was historically important. But I know many will prefer how it is today and that's all fine as well

Hi Scott and Shane Yes car is one vin after the factory Rally CSL :) My car never went to Broadspeed, it seems it was bouncing around BMW internally, and then in April 1972 was turned into the Rally car. The mechanics involved in my car from Motorsport, have some fun stories from back in the...
