    VIN number location

    Might be a dumb question but where is the VIN number located on 2800cs and 3.0CS? I don't have an access to a donor car and while looking at firewall of restored chassis I've bought a few years ago I just can't locate it. Picture would be awesome. Thanks!

    Restored BMW e9 shell (Europe)

    Hi Guys, after a very slow resto progress and my new business I'm considering selling my restored bare E9 shell. Complete minus a hood. Since it's been in storage for like 3 years it probably requires some cosmetics before painting. It was primed, by previous owner, with Wurth anti-rust paint...

    DIY: Open up & clean the inside of your gauges

    Taking off bezel is harder than it looks. It's a piece of metal with a good "springy" action and it takes a long time to take off. I will definitely look into attaching it with sealant and will not bend it back in as it has micro crack there (my manual skills are not the best). But as a warning...

    Looking for complete suspension for my e9 project. Would like to avoid leaving donor car without one and have a one to slowly restore. EU only as shipping to Poland can be a deal breaker. Thanks!

    New member from Poland - 2800 CS

    It took me 6 years to get to next step of my resto :) Kids, jobs, travel took all my time. I think, at this stage, it should not take me more than another 6 years to finish :D All I need, bodywork wise, is new bonnet (or at least a very good one) and seal covers. Next I need to paint...

    Bare metal respray - engine bay questions

    Hi! It's been a long time and I almost gave up. I'm close with completing shell replacement for my coupe and at this point I need to get all the pieces that should be there painted in factory color. There's some kind of insulation here I cannot find in parts catalogus. From some photos there...

    Power Window Gear

    Why not 3d print these? Is ABS should be harder. And it's quite tempting to make your own parts for coupe :)

    Got my 3.0cs but can`t find vin

    There is a police technique for reading erased VIN numbers. That's why thiefs usually after erasing it will punch a new set of all numbers (111 then 222 than 333 and so on..) and erase it again. You need to have special lamp to see it and it is impossible to really "erase". I'll check to see...

    Alpina 16" alloys diferences.

    Thanks, but that does not really answer my question. I need to know if anyone ever seen 16" pre 74 alpina wheels on any car?

    Alpina 16" alloys diferences.

    Well, we all know 16" alpinas are one of the most beautiful alloy wheels on our E9. From Alpinas documentation I know they produced 16" from 1974. I also know that 14" for CSLs had only studs holes but later on, had 5 additional holes between stud holes. Well my friend bought 16" alpinas dated...
