I’m wondering if it makes sense to pull the auction early, swap the correct motor in, and have Chris consult with them on making the remaining small details as close to 100% factory correct as possible. This car is capable of hitting big $$, but I fear the stories and allegations may detract...

It also ensures you can place a bid (no expired CC or other issue) in the final moments.

Did you use the Ireland Engineering wide-body kit?

I always trusted Murray (Blumax) on such issues: Renaissance Wax

Markos - no post hijacking is taking place here… Please scroll up and note the date on Mario’s original for sale post!!!!

I own both of the exact airdams discussed in this thread (Stan’s and Mario’s). I may be willing to sell you one as I never got around to mounting either of them. Be aware that shipping was more expensive than the purchase price - even with a corporate discount! Luckily, Stan flew over with his...

I badly want to make one of these to radically simplify my troubleshooting routine. Endlessly useful! That said, one of the tools I routinely use for pinpointing difficult to diagnose noises is one of these (apologies if someone has already proposed using this)...

Found another picture from my initial detail/documentation showing the original foam under the jack if anyone wants to go haywire with recreating minute factory details:

From my original paint survivor - I'll vote painted.

These both appear stock to me. It appears one is a ‘74 (perf) and the other is earlier (herringbone). You might start with seeing if you can sell (or swap) the whole blue ‘74 panel as they are pretty rare - as a one year only item. This might make both parties happier as you’d retain the OEM...

Wow! That is a great outcome for Jimmy. After all the years of hard work and passion he obviously put in to assembling his collection, I cannot imagine watching it all go *poof* in minutes - especially at an IRS firesale. Cheers to all. Now we just need more pictures of Jimmy’s ultimate man...

Incredibly sad I didn’t make it out - FAA flight delays killed my plan. This looks like an immense opportunity for anyone already considering a full resto. Good luck to all attending. (And incredibly sorry to hear about Jimmy’s fortunes) If anyone already there is unimpressed with the...

Check your PM’s - I may have a local lead for you.

Absolutely beautiful - the passion and dedication that went into this coupe is evident! Direct link for those reading the thread: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-bmw-3-0csi-13/ Can I recommend you take some additional professional pictures with even lighting and proper metering/white...

PM sent!

This is an incredibly cool offer! I wish I was in town to join - both to learn and finally attack some of my project punch list items.

Looks to be well executed:

Looking over the earlier auction pics @craterface posted, I’m now questioning what i was told about recent paintwork. I assumed the askew trunk/door were the result of a recent touch up respray and less than careful reassembly. Now that I see the 2009 auction pictures, I can see they were never...

Apologies, Pete, for inferring you were referring to the car’s condition from a previous encounter. I wish we had a chance to meet at the show. I will second many of your observations - some of which can be seen in my various pictures (since I was no longer a bidder, I didn’t focus on...
