Hi everyone,
I'm a brand new owner of a '72 E9 3.0 CS. Not in great shape but I got it for $600.
When I was 15 I first laid eyes on a BMW 3.0 CS and new I had to have one. 11 years later, I saw a white one for the first in time in person driving past me in downtown Toronto. I didn't think much of it other than realizing it was even better in person than I thought. Little did I know I'd stumble upon a pretty beaten up one in the West end of Toronto in a mechanics parking lot. I had to go in and ask about it.
$600 later, bought my very first E9, a 1972 BMW 3.0 CS. Engine in running order out of the car. Body in decent shape other than the floor panels and the rockers. and a whole lot of work ahead of me.
I haven't found many restoration videos on the car or much about euro classic tuning, restoration, outlawing etc. Obviously I'm for sure missing some channels but since I'm a cinematographer and director by trade, I figured I'd make a youtube channel about the restoration. If you guys are interested feel free to tune in every (hopefully) Thursday. I'm just getting ready to walnut blast the body to reveal what's left.

If you have any feedback, things you'd like to see featured or anything, I'll be working with some amazing experts as I'm not qualified in any sense to restore a classic like this. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Thanks!
