What is the proper sequence for installing the beltline trim (flexible rubber/plastic followed by the polished aluminum piece) for the front fender on an E3? I know that the rubber piece is laid down first and then the metallic piece over/into it, but what is the 'sequence' for the plastic and...

I need to remove and replace the aluminum beltline trim piece on the LF fender of my E3. How do you access the small nut holding the trim (with it's rubber surround) which would be above the turn signal bezel? Do you have to remove the LF front grill and headlight assy? It seems to be in a...

Would any E3 owners in SoCal be interested in getting together some Saturday? Now that my situation in Southern California has become less hectic as my duties as a living trust successor trustee have diminished and I've sold my beach house, I only have too much furniture and car projects to...

I think that "back when' I got ahold of the 3.07 it was going to be a back up to the 3.45 which is in the car. The trans is a Getrag 265/5. However, this 'forever a project' will be on the road and should be quite capable with the larger engine. Can't wait to start draining that 'North of...

I'm in escrow on a beach home that I own/will have owned in San Clemente CA, and going through things which I have stored there I discovered that I have a 3.07 LSD and a 3.64 open differential. The 3.07 is casting marked E24 and the 3.64 came out of my '71 Dietel Alpina Bavaria. Both will fit...

Thanks Chris I'll let him know. This BMW is finished in a silver grey and was bought many moons ago in Europe by a US serviceman who brought it back to the US. It is/was absolutely stock and beautiful. 2 summers ago he and his wife were driving back to Glendale from Santa Barbara with his...

I have a friend here in SoCal who is just finishing repainting/repairing a beautiful 2500 which was rear ended 2 years ago. He needs (new) seals for the front windshield and the rear window. Does anyone know of a source? I believe that the other guy's insurance company had agreed to pay the...

I am contemplating getting rid of some of my collection of BMW literature, Books, etc. Does anyone know what the going price are for any of the following? 1. 2-volume sets of repair manuals (Blue Binders) for BMW 2500-3.3L. I have 2 sets in perfect condition that had updates through 1/76...

Don't forget, there are several configurations of E3 fuel tanks depending on whether or not you have one or two holes in it, etc.!

My neighbor's son works for a auto transportation company based in Denver. He regularly comes into Los Angeles to deliver cars to the Beverly Hills Club. Some BHC simply flips, some they do a little to them prior to sale. If I were going to buy through them I would insist on being put in...

Also at the bottom corners of the doors. Fortunately, the E3's did not have places where water checks in and never checks out as the E9's have!

Years ago I took out the earlier "Hitler's Revenge" seat belts so that I could use the retractable 2nd generation on all 4 seats. Now, I have mounted more race oriented seat belts for the front seats with shoulder harnesses. That being said, I must also say that the car has not been on the...

IIRC, on a 3.5 setup the pulley goes on first, then an aluminum projection which (both) are bolted to the water pump flange with 4 bolts. Over the aluminum projection fits the fan clutch/fan and this assy is held in place with a center bolt. What I did to get more clearance for a fan belt...

One thing to check when rebuilding is to see if there is any pitting on the surface of the gears. If so, it is 'possible' to repair by arc welding, but you need to use a very 'hard' rod to fill the pits. Then the fun, carefully filing the excess to the original curvature. Will need a very...

In the front, 5-inch round 2-way speakers installed up on the kick panels. Both the glove box and the (l) access panel for the fuse box will still go down as normal. I also installed an aux. amp and put two 6x9 3 way speakers in the rear under the seats facing forward.

NOS 2002 Rear Tailights My 1984 BMW NS Automobile Suggested Parts Price Lists lists: Left Tailight @ $80.85 Right Tailight @ $87.13 ... Some things do increase in value with age!! ...So glad that I have a few sets of NOS in my storage area. ...Maybe they'll pay for my...

Come on, Ron! You should have left the three a/c ducts coming out of the speaker grill location intact! It looked like a freighter had surfaced under the car and the vents were coming through from the engine compartment. Kinda looked like Medusa. Really though, you did a great job given...

Bob, For the pix of the car on this website, here is the link: http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/album.php?albumid=80 I'll try to find some time tomorrow to scan the two pages from the parts manual and put them on the thread. IRRC, the trunk compartment panel that affixes to the rear...
