Hey Members,

My name is albert I am very new to this community. I have purchased my first 3.0 CS and I don't know what to expect haha. I look forward to seeking help from many of you and thanks in advance. If maybe anyone can shed some input on maybe certain people can help me with getting certain things for this restoration. Motor does run needs some love. Windshield I have but has a bit of hate on the bottom so I will be ordering a new one. I am missing the trims but I do have all the gaskets.

Hi Albert!

Welcome to the forum! The car sure looks pretty on the outside. With the missing front bumper and 2000 CS look rear bumper, this car seems to be mimicking Christian Heine's rather popular CSI. Post some pics of the inside and let us know what you need as far as parts go.

Thank you! Yes, I am stuck between adding the airdam or keeping it like as is. I appreciate the warm welcome. I will add interior pics the dash needs to be done. The wood pieces are done for. The deaths we redone already so thats a good start. I have the headliner being redone now. I will make a list and post here of what I need. How do I post videos I have a video of the engine running but I could not upload it.

Yes sir! Quite a few bmw for sale some need love and some are ready to rock and roll. Everything from 850, 840, M5, 5 series and M6 Shark nose, etc...
 
Welcome from Sanibel (near Fort Myers). Where are you in FL?
There are e9coupe guys in every corner of FL.
Finding a windshield and gasket that actually fits can be a chore.
The new style gaskets tend to rumple up in the corners.

Welcome but being a Newbie myself, not sure I have much to add but we can learn about these cars together !!
 
Welcome Albert. I live up in Broward. I can safely say that I have seen ONE coupe on the road in 17 years of living here, so you will get many admiring looks and comments, and lots of questions. My car is also an automatic, but is Fjord blue. Be sure to get your car running before the winter... when driving down here is pleasant due to temps dropping a bit.

thank you Scott! I have to say that I will have to make sure I have answers haha. Thank you for the welcome and I am trying to get the car running but I believe I need to change my carbs and I am not sure which direction to go in.
 
Hello, and welcome Albert. Sorry for the late response - I just saw your thread. My car came from Florida some time ago. Your car looks great - I like the rear bumper with deleted rubber. I also love the numerous BMWs strewn about the shop. Not really a bad view whichever direction you turn. :)

I second "AutoKunst" about the absence of the rubber on the rear bumper. Mine "fell off" and for a while I ran w/o the rubber. But in the interest of originality in a highly unoriginal coupe with the usual invisible engine, tranny, suspension, etc mods, I now have the rubber back on. Look at the 2000CS for how it would look in original form.
 
Welcome welcome!

Don't put in the windshield yet until you do the whole dash. Way easier to take out that way.

Rear bumper...looks just like mine! Just doesn't have the rubber on it. Get those now before they go NLA. In fact, get EVERYTHING now that you can before they go NLA.

Body looks in great shape and love the black paint!


Ya, definitely do a front air dam. They look naked/toothy IMHO without. Hope you have a front bumper. THose are getting harder and more $$$ these days. Try to find a pre-73 if you can. 73s just stick out a bit too much for my tastes.
 
welcome Albert - i live north of the whole state - in georgia ... but i visit Miami quite often on business and will be spending more time in Boca in the coming years. Teahead has this right, get the dash correct (with wood) before you put the windshield in. If you get the rubber for the rear bumper, you will also want to get the new strips to mount the rubber on ... when the rubber falls off it is generally because the mounts rusted off. Coupeguy used to sell stainless strips but i don't remember seeing them recently on his site.

you may want to start a thread in projects and create a list of what you need and many people can help you fill that in.
