My buddy took the pictures. He's extremely talented! I'm sure he'd be down to take pictures of a couple of E9's because it appears you and I don't live too far from one another.

Yesterday I changed the spark plugs, fuel filter and fixed the turn signals. Oh, I had all the tint taken off as well. Fish bowl looks so good on these cars.

Hey all, long time multiple BMW owner and I recently took delivery of a 1970 2800cs in Tundra green. VIN: 2280140. The previous owner had it for 25 years and covered maybe one thousand miles in that time. After looking in the car I found an insurance card to Daniel Sliskovich as a previous owner. Anyways, I was told it has a 3.0cs carbureted motor and 5 speed manual (obviously confirmed). I’ve recently bought spark plugs, valve cover gasket, hazard/turn signal relay, new hazard switch (running into no turn signals per usual), new bulbs for all exterior lighting, clear fuel filter, air filters, coolant and brake fluid flush and more. I finally got around to wiping down the interior, cleaning the chrome inside and out and a friend came over to do a little bit of paint correction. The pictures I’ve tried to upload are too large so only these three are small enough. View attachment 118796View attachment 118797View attachment 118798
welcome to the group, I am new member like you are, if your computer is running windows there is program named ( PAINT ) it comes with the windows, you can resize the pictures and make it smaller this is how you do, right mouse click on the picture and choose "open with" option and programs will line up and choose the PAINT option to open the picture with PAINT program when picture with PAINT program is open, on the top left choose option ( RESIZE ) when you click on it small windows will open there is 2 small box that it say HORIZONTAL and other one is VERTICAL you will see number 100 on it you can type on the box any number smaller than 100 if you type 50 your picture size will be half of what you have then you can post all the pix you like, try it and let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! I'll give it a shot and you'll know if it works. I appreciate the information!
Congrats on your E9. Beautiful color combo. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
Thanks! It has been a blast so far.

Thanks to Candia4441 for the tip on being able to resize the photos! My buddy Jamie (IG MCoupeDad) snapped these. The day after we took pictures, we swapped the wheels from the E9/E12.

and if you have a picture that is to large you can downsize the picture with your computer in widows program you have to right mouse click and select open with paint program that it comes with windows in all computer when program opens with your large size picture on top left there is a function resize when you click on it open a box that is show a 100% of horizontal pixel now you can type a 50% or less and save it now your picture is ready to send, I hope I could explain properly you can try and if you have a question I will answer. Good lock

Pics look good. You can also post them full sized. When you click insert, you will then get a thumbnail of your picture, with two insertion options on the left and a trash can option on the right. Obviously, the trash can option is to delete the picture before you post. If you just click enter, a thumbnail will show in the thread which is what you have done here. Under the thumbnail option, however is an alternative. If you click "full image", your picture will post in the body of your thread. Your picture have more visual impact that way.
