This car has been on display in the showroom at 'Weissach', a large Porsche/Lotus specialist in western Canada. It hasn't been listed on their inventory. I've driven by a few times, but haven't seen it up close. The Vancouver island connection is interesting, there are/have been a...

Petrolicious has a newer section called 'market finds', some really interesting cars for sale, recently offered and sold this coupe. I believe the price is probably the best reflection of current coupe values out there. Triple webers, 5 spd conversion, documented resto, 58k. Anyway, have a...

Tesla competitor L.A. Times believes it's this Chinese oligarch behind Faraday. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jia-yueting-explainer-20151106-htmlstory.html ...also, had an extended test drive of the I3 last week. Really an impressive exercise in design and functionality. Limited...

Update: Sold and shipped Update: A sale was successfully concluded to a forum member. I will leave it up to him if he wishes to identify himself. I started this process with a lot of trepidation and finished with some regrets over selling the car, but relieved as well. The process was...

Car in Vancouver Again, thanks for the comments. I am in touch with several interested parties, most of whom have a presence in this community, hopefully the car will find a good home. I will update the forum when that happens.

Vancouver Coupe Many thanks for all the comments. Re: confusion over 2800 vs 3.0. When I first purchased the car it was registered as a 2800, although the vin indicates it was a 3.0. The id plate is indeed a repro, it is now registered as a 3.0 with the BC Motor Vehicle Branch, (ICBC) as a...

2210589 Nachtblau does appear to be the original colour, I do have some photos of car in that colour. This car, as a lot of older German cars in Canada, was imported by a Cdn soldier returning from Lahr in Germany. Happy belated birthday.

I have made the difficult decision to part with my car after 10 years of blood, sweat, tears and money. I acquired what was originally a 2800cs from Victoria. It was in a state of partial disassembly but looked to be a fairly solid car. (note to self: looks can be deceiving). My original plan...

I'll take it! pm sent, I'd be thrilled to take this off your hands.

leased a 2003 b6 a4 avant and and an 06 b8 04 avant, owned a 2006 a6 avant and currently drive a 2011 b8 S4. My wife drives a 2010 A5. The S4 and A5 were 'preowned' and have the CPO warranty....which is helpful. Lovely cars, beautifully styled, well suited to the BC winter, particularly...

Whenever I come across a spat like this on the internet, I find myself automatically taking the side of the person who can spell.

11,500? Your car is featured on 'Bring a Trailer'. There is a link to a Craigslist ad that quotes the selling price as $6,500. I don't mean to question your ethics, but why do expect the readers of this website get to pay a $5000.00 premium? (Unless you have 2 identical cars and this is the...

"There is a real reason many Canadians contact me about the restored CSI I am selling. They all tell me up there all the coupes are just a buck of rust due to the weather and salted roads." D-Ace, like many US residents, you incorrectly assume that we Canadians spend 2 hours each morning...

Who is your BC body guy/girl?

al larson For those of you who have ever known Al, had dealings with him, or were considering it, you might want to have a look at this. Be warned, it is lengthy. I can attest to its veracity: http://www.bcbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3787

Al Larson If you ordered something from Seams Perfect and it was actually delivered, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Upholstery Since we are on the topic of upholstery, I will relate my story. Both World and Gahh have good reputations, and are solid bets, especially for carpet kits. However, there is a fellow locally here in Vancouver, by the name of Al Larson who is listed in our links as 'Seams Perfect'...
