    1975 BMW 3.0CSi Vin 4340778 Granatrot

    Gone, but not forgotten. My car was purchased by a father and son from Seattle. The car should be there Monday. I hope they enjoy it as much as Graeme and I did. Aside from the fun we had driving, we were introduced to a truly “a great group of people”, associated with the forum. Lots of...

    1975 BMW 3.0CSi Vin 4340778 Granatrot

    Franz, the US Airforce pilot who was the 2nd owner, brought the car into the US in 1987. I have all of the import documents.

    DWMBMW, Thank you for the Laguna photos. I had never seen those. As for price, Arthur and I are having a discussion this morning. I would suggest you reach out to him. All the best, Tim.

    1975 BMW 3.0CSi Vin 4340778 Granatrot

    Steve, thank you. I always loved the colour. Apparently it only appeared on the 3.0 in 74/75, which made it rare too.

    1975 BMW 3.0CSi Vin 4340778 Granatrot

    Today I consigned my CSi to a friend‘s dealership in Vancouver, Lotus Vancouver. In Canada if we consign a car we can then use tax credits if we purchase another vehicle. After 6 years, a lot of fun, and meeting a great group of people, I have decided to sell the car. We are in the process of...

    5BX

    Given many of us are locked down for an undetermined amount of time, and gyms are closed, I have taken the liberty of introducing 5BX for fitness. In the 50s the Royal Canadian Air Force, RCAF, introduced this 11 minute fitness routine for air crews. The link below describes the process and...

    1975 BMW CSI Granatrot

    I trust people are doing OK during this time. None of us have lived through a “pandemic” before. Prayers with everyone to come out safely. As I am spending a lot of time by myself, ( I am working from home ), I have done a few more items on the CSi. First, thanks to supplies from Don L, I...

    FS: Staggered set of 16"Hartge wheels

    After having purchased the rims I have decided to stick with the “Closed Alpinas”. They are in Blaine Wa. Same terms as $1400. All the best, Tim.

    1975 BMW CSI Granatrot

    Again part of the joy is finding the “little” pieces that add up. Carl had the plastic covers. Also happy the rear of car lights up like a Christmas tree.

    1975 BMW CSI Granatrot

    It’s the little things in life that add up. Thank you to Keshav for pointing out several engine details, such as the missing diagnostic 9pin cover, and where to source it. The other interesting thing I’ve been finding is some of the subtle/unique differences with my 74 build/75 Italian...

    Clock Repair Sources

    Marcos and I would both recommend not using Seattle Speedo. They ended up being very unreliable. Took weeks for them to send out the clock, and even sent Marcos the wrong item initially.

    1975 BMW CSI Granatrot

    Not exactly E9 photos but worthy I think. I drove back to Vancouver Canada from San Diego last week. Along the way I was able to meet up with 3 of my favourite people, Carl Nelson, Mike Sheehan, and Mike Burger. Carl was busy as can be, but was kind enough to spend some time, in the SoCal BMW...

    1975 BMW CSI Granatrot

    The reservoir bottle shown above is metal. A couple of new updates. My friend Ruedi and I worked on some of the electrics over the weekend. My clock was not working. I had it refurbed locally. I had been told my my mechanic he would have to pull the whole dash to reinstall it. When Mike Burger...
