Congratulations - that is a amazing achievement. While I would never call myself a marathon runner, I did finish the London Marathon three times, with the first being 1983 and the last being 1996 - long time ago now. Funnily, as a youngster I was a 100-200 meter schoolboy level runner, then in...

Thank you for the kind words guys - I feel very privileged to have been asked to participate, as being able to indulge myself in my passion and in turn share the fun, I believe, is what its all about. The community has always been a great part of the journey along the way, after all, the cars...

Thank you Christoph, On the Olympic Rallye CSL, everything is a possibility, but not on the cards at the moment. Maybe one day BMW will want it back there for something, as it is one of the few cars in the collection they have made very clear they would like for themselves, with the other being...

Oh dear - this will be embarrassing :-)

@2275066 This car has been throughly researched and confirmed by knowledgeable mechanics who worked on the cars at the time. The history and therefore the correctness of such history is paramount to me on all my cars. Yes, it is hard and often people are "happy" with a story they hear on a...

@rsporsche - @Bmachine and @Christoph You are all more than kind, I know am extremly lucky to be the caretaker of these cars, as I believe we all are here, be it one car or 20 cars. The passion is exactly the same and for me thats whats important, the cars are merely what brings us to the...

Hi Scott, My Levi CSL (affectionately known as the Cow car) was as you say at the M Power exhibition with the Polaris Bat above, also there was my Petronas Z4M. The Cow Car was picked up last week and this weekend BMW had it on display center stage with my Golf Yellow early Carb CSL, at the...

@Oldbmwcoupes With respect - If you had taken a moment to look you would have seen a few people talking to a guy who was nearly in tears, talking about his wife dying and all trouble he had with the tax situation. That was Jimmy talking to a small group of his friends, not an E9 group. I...

Guys, please no credit to me, Jimmy lawyers saved the day. I was talking with Jimmy and maybe somebody heard the conversation, when he told me what he owed I did offer to settle it, but he did not need it, so please no credit here, I did nothing. BTW great to meet some of the guys on the...

Thanks tferrer - I had never seen that. It actually appears a couple of times, both in its 1975 Motorsport livery and its 1976 Hermetite livery

Only because you wanted to :-)

Anybody local able to help a guy from up North :) - Ideally with access to trailer or at least storage for a short time (week or so) ? Outside is fine. It's halfway between Birmingham Alabama and Chattanooga TN. Update !!!! - good news Jimmy is alive and well and is trying to stop this...

Guys Both the magazine article Green Monster and the street version of the Schnitzer are in safe hands (not mine sadly) but one day soon "hopefully" we will be seeing one of them on the road again.

Yes, fan here - England of course. Was lucky to be alive for the one time we won and have been perennially disappointed since. Always big hope and belief we have the players, especially today, but our big test is now upon us and while France look good, Brazil looks outstanding Come on you...

Hi Bmachine, These have been talked about a lot and if you just put "wundercar collection" in your browser you will find them. Absolutely nothing to do with BMW, Christian designed and built all these himself and paid all the shipping etc to get them to the USA and all internal costs. They...

just around $600k including juice

Thanks @JMinPDX It was an honor to be asked and believe it or not JP and I spoke for 2.5 hours, so there is a couple of odd breaks in it after they edited, they still did a good job. Can't stand my own voice on these things, but understand thats not unusual :)

Hi @tferrer I think the gap is still fairly wide, although closed a little a few years ago and has been stagnant since, even when CS's and CSI's have really jumped CSL's have not. When you look at the bottom of the 73 RS range, they are at very top of the Batmobile range and still way above...

This may help you, where it has been spoken about here..... I have just returned from moving the cars to BMW Seattle from the Auto show and for the club event next Sunday . Hopefully any of you in the area who are available, come by and say hello and see both the cars and the owner...

Original motor has been gone for a very long time and is not with the car or any of the previous owners. @tferrer Yannick never held on to it, for a number of reasons, but also he was working on a more important CSL. Price I understand is 475k UK pounds.
