Upper timing cover gaskets certainly can leak but there can be other causes. Entirely possible the head was done at some point but the upper timing cover wasn’t surfaced with the head. You could change the gaskets a hundred times and it would still leak. Not saying it’s definitely what it...

There’s a guy in the 2002 classifieds that never posts anything with comments and sells with a fake name. Changes his name regularly on the FAQ. I wish admins could prevent people from turning off comments.

It’s all the same stuff, Bert. Sending units are the same and just the numbers on the face plates are different. I have a good used one and can easily get a new one Germany. Not a big deal, easier than installing it.

It’s always those undocumented repairs that catch you out! I bought an E28 that had every record but the one where the car should have been totaled.

What weight is that oil?

Is it possible to use a shorter bolt for the clamp for the down pipes? One angry speedbump or forlorn driveway and I anticipate a problem.

Fan clutch.

Possible some kind of relay or alarm module was attached there?

Nice to be able to see the different perspectives on this topic in a civil discussion. I have my own criticisms that haven’t been discussed, chiefly the anonymity, but I do think there’s a lot of positive there compared to the negative especially when compared to the “brick and mortar” auction...

This is that car. https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/1970-2800-cs-auto-very-straight-ca-car.42346/ I commented on a post with the car for sale saying sorry to see him selling so soon and I think he got a bit defensive in his reply. Didn’t mean anything negatively about it.

As someone who lives in Arizona and has a double digit number of cars registered in the state of Arizona, when I go to the MVD with a title from a private seller they don’t care what I pay for a car. The question is never asked. The vehicle license tax is based on the MSRP of the vehicle when...

A fun "how's the filter?" The new one is on the right.

He posted a bunch more and they all have clamps too except for the black one which is from this auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-bmw-3-0csl-2/ I imagine confusion stems from the fasteners being in the same location on the hoop.

Yes.

You can’t use an older head with a B35 bottom end. From what I can see (which isn’t much) is they left the D-jet on whatever engine this is. Hopefully it’s not an 8:1 B34.

Another one on BaT. This time black on black leather with faux carbon fiber instead of the wood trim. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-bmw-3-0csi-35/

Oh I recognize that 728i. David had it at 5erWest before he decided to put it on BaT. Nice car.

Seems odd that a road car would come that way given these parts were in the trunk when it was delivered new. Who is going to drill holes in the roof to mount that?

Amazingly one of my E28 customers actually picked those for their 535is. I’ll admit I was a bit surprised.
