My introduction.

[bmwsydney]

Hi. I'm based in Sydney, Australia and I'm chasing a csi although just lately I seem more fixed on a csl! Went close with the one at Silverstone Auction and am currently pursuing another one so I hope to become an owner soon. Currently I'm in the UK.
Can somebody remind me. There is a dealer in USA, I think Los Angeles area who has lots of E9 parts and advise. He has reproduced the tool box and all the tools. I can't remember his details. I'm sure someone here will know who I'm talking about.......

BMW has new toolboxes and tools. Coupeking refurbishes toolboxes and has many used parts. The other guy is CSiParts or also known as www.bmwclassicparts but not recommended IMO.

What happened with the Silverstone car, looks like it went cheap. Was it bad? The interior looked excellent. Someone got a bargain unless it was riddled with rust.

There is also a CSi in Australia available for sale. You should join the e9 register Australia Facebook page. One of the members there has a CSi for sale. At least I believe it's still for sale.

Also Anglia Auctions in the U.K. has another CSL coming up in June. Price guide £80k. But don't bother relying on the guide.

The Silverstone car was honest, usable but needed work. I'd have loved to own it. Not sure how $150,000 is a bargain. It was the bones of a good car to be fully restored and that's what the chap who bought it will do but it will be a very expensive resto. The seats were great. The best part.

Hi Chris. What does " not recommended IMO"

 

[Markos]

Hi Chris. What does " not recommended IMO"

IMO = In my opinion. Looks like Chris is advising against purchasing parts from that particular vendor...

 

[bmwsydney]

Thanks for that........

Engines are like fingerprints to Don!

Is the car still in the states?

 

[bmwsydney]

No. This car was actually Australian delivered originally and is in Melbourne. Soon to be in Sydney.
