Short Update: the bc2 housing ist printed and fits perfectly.

I was also at the local "TÜV" and they are now discussing which types of Testing have to be done, to get my ABS System fully legal into the documents paper with keeping the status as an historic vehicle.

I also did an conversion to the longer e21 runners and now the engine ist much more fun to drive. More Torque starting at 2000 rpm and the possibility to rev a little bit higher (Up to 5600 rpm with pleasure).

In the picture you can see the visual lenth difference.

Hello I'm Hony from South Germany,

and i have restored a 2800 CS Coupé from 09/1970, which ist now equiped with a 3.5l 218 HP engine from a BMW E24, but Motronik 1.3 selfmade conversion to the CSI inlet from the original 3.0 CSI to keep the vintage styling.

It ist also equiped with a 5 gear manual transmission and 25% LSD differential. The most interesting part in my E9 is the street legal CSL replica parts combined with a hitch trailer. I am allowed to trailer (or tow) up to 1700 kg in my E9 and it is so much fun.

I also invented a conversion kit to electric Odo, cause my next step is to integrate a cruise control, Boardcomputer 2 from E24 and also the entire Check Control System. The electric Odo works great and as a result you need no longer the expensive Transmissions with Outlet for the Odo cable. Maybe also interesting for you Guys with Motor swaps and more modern transmissions.

At the moment I am working with my engineering students from the local university of applied sciences on the first Abs (Anti lock) System inside an E9 and the retrofit of an original air conditioning. Winter time ist working time.

The mechanical parts of the Abs System are already done, I only have to do all the wiring and put the battery into the trunk. Secondly I am also working in amore direct power steering with less rpm while cornering and with some luck I get it finished next Weekend. Target 3.5 rpm from left to right instead of Stock 4+.

As you can see lots of work to get done, but If James Bond would have been a German agent, he might have wished (or destroyed) my E9 in a mission.

Sorry for my bad english, but I hope you enjoy my engineering or at least the pictures.
Looking forward to get in Touch with younand maybe you Like my new solutions to the old E9....

Thank you for the welcome. Im impressed with your restore. My 74 Bavaria is going to a light restore with minor mechanical upgrades, if we can’t get the zeinith carbs. tuned correctly will consider conversion to webers. Also replace the ign. Points with an electronic setup.
tail lights, side markers , wipers and horns do not work. Fuses and contacts look good. I have a long way to go. Thanks for sharing, Bill
