The visible lid, holding the tools is damaged, but not as much as the part that mounts to the trunk lid.

One big problem I have is that when the tool box fell off the trunk lid when it was closed, the tray side shattered into 6-7 pieces, some the less than a dime in size. It would be a puzzle project.

Interesting! I am not the best DIY guy, but do you remember the thread?

I had someone pull down too hard on my beautiful and original tool tray. It took a 3" chunk out of where the screw goes in, and a chunk off the brittle pull down tray when it hit the trunk! The screw also cracked! I did not see it, but I heard it, so I really do not know what happened. If anyone...

I love the car, and I always wanted one, I have had a lot of fun with it, but it is just time to move on to a new project. After I got it all together the way I wanted it, I went to many events. I have been to a couple Vintages, I have been to two Southeast Sharkvests, I have done 3-4 scenic...

I am the owner of the 1971 2800 5-speed. I encourage you to check out the auction listing on Bring a Trailer, the auction finishes about 5:00PM Eastern on Tuesday. I bought the car about five years ago after search for and visiting a lot of E9's over many years. I have always been very...

Thanks for all the input, all good ideas that I will monitor. To start with a potentially easy fix, I pulled up the trunk floor boards and checked the fuel filter. It was totally full of black particles! I bought another fuel filter at the NAPA store, and installed it. I have driven the car for...

Thanks for the great suggestions! The vacuum sounds exactly what is happening. I will check for that issue. My coil is an almost brand new Flamethower, and I will also look into the ballast resistor. Rich

My E9 has been running great! I have a Weber carb and a Pertronix ignition, and everything seems crimp to have been dialed in well. Yesterday I was driving along and the engine started to “drag” a little, and then suddenly die. I pulled over to the side of the road, and turned the key and it...

I just purchased one from La Jolla Independent BMW Service. The just came back in stock. Rich

I am just getting a 1971 2800CS going again after 10+ years sitting idle. After a conversion and a charge, the air conditioning blows cold. It seems to be pumping out a lot of dust/dirt that gathers all over the air conditioning vents. It there a filter in there somewhere that has dried out and...

Why do some E9’s have three bolts coming through the top of the wheel well as a shock tower attachment inside the engine compartment, and others have the three bolts coming through the top of the wheel well and then through a ring before attaching the nuts? Thanks in advance.

The photo might be a little off, but I think it is supposed to be the delphin gray metallic. I bought the car from the original owner. He said that the car began to have peeling paint within the first six months he owned it. BMW paint for an entire new paint job to correct the problem they...

Well, we have sorted out most of the issues associated with 10+ years sitting in storage! I am road testing daily, and ready to venture over to Hot Springs, NC for the Vintage. I hope to see some of you there, as I will be looking for input on little things that I can address.

What are you asking for the taillight gaskets?

Scott, Thanks for all the information. It sounds like I need a spot on Stan's list! Rich

My 1971 2800CS is finally ready to be shipped to me next week, but I know I need some tail lights. Please put me on your list. Rich Becherer: rich dot becherer at yahoo dot com Thank for all your work on this project!

The taillight lenses on my 2800CS have some minor cracks and are showing their age. I do not see any US taillight lenses available anywhere. It looks like there are some European style taillight lenses available from some parts distributors and European Ebay sources. What are the differences...

If we get enough interest, I would be in for a badge and/or two stickers. Thanks for doing this. Rich Becherer rich dot becherer at yahoo dot com
