    Houston Coupe Owners

    Are you possibly thinking of Bavarian Machine Specialties...? http://bavarianmachine.com I have used them in the past, and I was happy with the work done. Not particularly cheap or fast, but good. However, most of my experience with BMS dates back to before the founder, Mike Perkins, passed...

    I believe it's 16" Alpina wheels, but we'll find out at our gathering on Oct.22nd. It's a CSi.

    For major issues: Bavarian Machine Specialties. For minor issues, like state inspection ($7), I take it to BMW of West Houston. Cash Jacobson will take care of you, and Chuck is the best Mechanic around. He's mainly working on M cars, but he's been around for many years and knows how to treat an...

    Also spotted in Houston (Williams Tower parking garage). Beautiful 3.0 CSi. Left my email address, but no response - so I'm guessing the owner doesn't want to "socialize" with other couperinis

    I believe the owner of the car in the pictures is Carlos Aguilera. When the weather cools down a bit we should aim for another "Coupe Fest" in Houston. Perhaps we can get some new E9 owners to join us for a mini "Coffee & Cars".

    Thanks for the feedback - adawil2002 and Strato102. I've come to the same conclusion: It's a 3.0 CS re-badged as a CSL. Looks like a nice E9 though.

    It was spotted in the Bellaire / West Loop area. As far as I know, the CSLs were not imported (new) to the US. This looks like a European spec car, with the rear fog light. The side markers were (unfortunately) installed when the cars were imported to the US.

    Any one get the Alpina 50 year anniversary book yet?

    I picked it up in Buchloe in July while doing European Delivery. I would absolutely recommend it! 464 pages packed with info on Alpina, with both German and English text. All you ever wanted to know about Alpina, including a section in the back with an overview / numbers produced of all engines...

    csl for sale in texas

    This CSL has been sold before at 152,000 km. The mileage is now presented by the seller as 52,550 miles. It's a miracle. http://www.finecars.cc/en/detail/car/34821/index.html
