    Window Regulators?

    I am guessing that is manual? If so I can take a look to see if I can find my old one that I replaced.

    If the radio picks up stations in the USA, I'll take it.

    2000 For Sale - Thoughts?

    A 2000 TiLUX was almost my first BMW. I really liked that car but it had a dent in the driver side C pillar that bothered me. This car reminds me of it. A friend had one for a few years but was afraid to drive it because of the scarcity of parts for it.

    Anyone going to see what's left of the dead in Dallas/Austin

    I like a lot of John Mayer stuff. If he is doing only The Dead music, it should be great. To far for me to go see it though.

    About that car lift you been thinking of...

    Thank you for the information on the MaxJax. That is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a low garage ceiling and I need something that is portable but does not get in the way of working under the car. I don't need it right now but for $1200 I would be happy to spend the money right...

    Cracked Head

    That happened to my 2800CS about 10 years ago. The head was not cracked but I found a small hole leaking coolant into an exhaust port. Apparently there was porosity or some kind of defect in the head in that area and after many years of use it broke through. A little corrosion may have...

    Fires in California

    Other than dealing with the smoke and ashes, all is good along the SoCal coast. I feel for the people in Anaheim Hills and parts of Orange and Tustin.

    dustless blasting

    Plastic media should be a good choice if it does a good job of removing the paint and does not transfer to the metal. My company uses walnut shell for removing Aerospace coatings if we don't want to damage the substrate metal. The problem with walnut shell is it can leave an oily residue that...

    dustless blasting

    Layne, you are correct. It is the compressive stress on the surface being blasted the causes warpage. It actually make the blasted surface longer causing to want to arc. The thinner the sheet metal the worse the warping.

    How did it start?

    Beginning around 1973 I started looking for a 2002tii. My heritage is German and thought I should own a German car. BMW seemed to be the sportiest, in my price range, for me at that time. During my search I saw a 2000CS and could not get it out of my mind. I was hooked immediately. My...

    2017 Rolex Reunion- Luigi and the RSRs

    Good video. It must be somewhat confusing driving different cars in the different sessions. Not only do you have to deal with the different handling, braking and power characteristics; you also have right side and left side steering plus left side and right side shifting. I hope at least the...

    WTB Wood Veneer for shift knob

    My 70 2800Cs has the wood shifter knob with veneer on top and it is original. I refurbished it before the veneer got too bad. It still looks decent.

    Took my 3.0cs to Laguna Seca...

    Laguna Seca is a very fun track. I ran it a couple times many years ago in my 2800CS at BMW club high speed driving school events. I also ran it many times in my SCCA Austin Healey Sprite race car. The most recent was at the 2014 SCCA Runoff in which I only finished around 9th due to the...

    Who does enamel?

    It seems powder coating would produce a similar result. I don't know how difficult it would be to powder coat specific areas that would be need to do the Roundels.
