I know it is a bit of a crap question but I have the option to buy a NOS AMC M30 cylinder head - but I dont know if I will need it! I dont want to miss out in case I do... but I also dont want to end up with a lot of money in something I cant resell to recoup funds (for other more needed shiny...

That is fantastic. Thanks for posting that.

You are right, it probably does hurt the value - but then, value is not everything, the guy built his car as he wanted it and I can respect that (so long as it is not utterly tasteless!) So long as there are a few 100% original examples around, I am not sure they all have to be that way. People...

They actually say one of 200 UK RHD CSL - but I am pretty sure all 500 made were sent to the UK importer anyway? Dash looks about right - seat trim is a bit odd. I quite like the engine on carbs - might do that to mine if it doesnt get too much hate - as the seller says - the D-jet stuff is...

Saw this pop up on fb today. I am guessing the mods might be polarising.... https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1273133

The CSL rears I have are odd - they look to be original but they are all vinyl - no cloth centres. The panel spacing of the middle bit is as per normal CSL ones though. No idea what that is about - I will be getting them all re upholstered anyway I guess. The only important part my car was...

Turkis is AWESOME - I was very tempted! It is a CSL so the interior pretty much has to be black/grey. I actually much prefer the standard csi leather interior in black - I can hardly squeeze my arse into the sheel seats!

hey. the dolly is mine - it was on it when I bought the shell and the 40 fish bins on unsorted/unlabelled parts! (hence my predicted long timeframe!!!). I am going to try to get the suspension before I move it though. It is a nice colour!

This is likely its future in the near term - and I dont mind one bit!

yes - fijord blue as per the original paint colour. I was really tempted to go turkis, really tempted... but at the end of the day I felt it was better to keep it original and I do really like the colour. no idea when/if I will get the rest of it together! Work leave pretty much no time at the...

Slow and expensive progress. But progress...

thanks for that! got the info off to them. much appreciated

Quick question from the paint shop.. what would be the correct finish for the bonnet and boot latches? I know the boot latch I unbolted from my CSA donor was plain metal/plated but the CSL one is riveted on - would that have originally been body colour or plain plated like all the others? Under...

I find it moderately hilarious that sill covers and headlight access panels and the like were swapped for alloy to "save weight" on the CSL - yet the big old lumps of lead were left in the doors

ah, maybe I was thinking about the fuel filler door.. Thinking about it - the covers on my donor 3.0CSA were utterly disintegrated so that should have been my first clue...

Pretty sure they are alloy on all e9? These guys in Poland offer repro alloy ones - no idea how much 350.00zt come out at though! http://sklep.manufaktura-workshop.pl/index.php/produkt/aluminiowe-zaslepki-przedniego-pasa-nad-lampami-komplet/

those are for LHD cars - I havent found a source of RHD ones

I am curious about this too - I am currently ordering the parts for my RHD CSL suspension. In the pile of bits I got with the car... there were no sway bars, but on my 73 CSA donor I have front and rears - was going to use them... Anyone got a definitive answer? I would be surprised if the city...

Just spotted this for anyone wanting one (apologies to those that had already seen it for brining it to others attention!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E9-CSL-Petri-380-Leather-Steering-Wheel-complete-with-CSL-hub/273794706734?hash=item3fbf6fad2e:g:gg4AAOSwjyBcpzKk
