    vintage BMW at upcoming Auctions

    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...

    A little E3 fun, as page has been quiet lately

    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...

    Official thread of parts for sale w/ridiculous prices?

    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...

    silverstone auctions csl

    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...

    1,100 - Kilometer 1991 BMW M3 Convertible on BaT

    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...

    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

    My Dexter Brown 3.3Li and Christians New Horizon at The Petersen in LA

    Don Thank you I have never really thought about which side I prefer, interesting? Now you have made me wonder. I just spent a little while looking and I tend to agree with you, the speed is more easily digested on the drivers side. Although, while the drivers side reminds me of passing...

    Paint originality

    Here is my experience as somebody who has had their E9 Batmobile judged at Pebble Beach Concours and three other cars judged there at different times The judges are looking for correctness on restored cars, but not stupidity. You start with all your points like everybody else, then points are...

    CSL on BaT - 2nd time around

    This oft repeated statement, is just not correct As a respected site on E9s, I would hope we could do better people No CSL is a CSI in disguise - period.

    deQuincy, Why are you escalating this with your own personal attack on Markos ? Hurt Harry ? He can't help it? A good administrator should ? Maybe you should listen to your own words and have PM'ed this message. As somebody who knows Markos well, he has been unbelievably helpful to me and...

    My Dexter Brown 3.3Li is in a three car Art exhibition with Christians New Horizon at the Petersen in LA, just opened and will be there until the end of July. This is probably the first time I have really been able to see clearly what Dexter Brown was saying with the painting on the car. In...
