Facebook link to the BMW E9 group which I know not everyone can access, I asked the seller to post a Google Drive link which k could then post here instead, but here is Facebook link.

Running/driving 3.0csi, with *working* air conditioning! Project car, but extremely solid starting point. Long-winded details below!
1973 3.0csi, euro car imported to the US in 1984 with ~ 112k kilometers on the clock. Now sitting at 166k kilometers (103k miles), this original 3.0csi is unrestored, but very solid. Fjord blue over blue cloth interior, manual transmission car with a/c. Tons of documentation since ‘84, the last owner kept the car and drove it sparingly since 1997.
The body on this e9 is quite straight overall, but not without its blemishes. The passenger front floor pan was repaired at some point in the past, and shows from underneath. The driver side pan has some rust forming on the inner tunnel near the side of the gas pedal, and a small section behind the front wheel, but is otherwise quite solid. The chassis legs/front frame rails are rock solid. The rear pans, inner rockers, entire trunk/spare well, subframe mounts, and rear shock towers are all quite excellent. The front inner fenders have some of the usual rust, but the front strut towers themselves are also completely solid.
The interior is a mix of good and bad. The carpet is trash, seat upholstery very worn (had some aged sheepskin covers that weren’t worth cleaning, sadly), and the wood overall in poor condition. The door panels on the other hand present very nicely, the dash is straight and nearly crack free, the gauges clean and fully functional, and the headliner nearly perfect. All the glass is intact and matching. Front power windows work, albeit slowly. Rears worked a few years ago, but are currently inoperable. A/C is shockingly cold, and the HVAC functions work as they should.
In my ownership, I have had all four calipers professionally rebuilt and refinished, and installed them with new brake hoses and brake pads. The spark plugs and plug wire set are new, and a new air filter installed. The fuel tank was drained, and a new fuel pump installed, ethanol-free premium in the tank now. New rubber hoses for the injectors, and a new clutch slave installed. I was able to find an extremely nice, and fully complete original tool kit for the trunk, and a nice new set of wood trim for all four door panels.
The car most recently sat for ~9 years, being started/moved occasionally. Prior to that period, the engine and transmission were removed, the engine fully rebuilt, and a G265/6 5-speed transmission installed in place of the original 4-speed. An aluminum radiator was installed, and an updated a/c compressor and lines made. The car developed a misfire while parked, and had the incorrect injectors installed. I replaced the injectors with the correct set (used), and the car ran flawlessly, which I have video of. That was two months ago, and since then, one of the old injectors has now also failed. The car runs and drives, but obviously should have the injector repaired before being driven any real distance.
The car has a tote of new and old spares that come with it, the new wood for the door panels, and the original BMW Blue Service books.
I *really* wanted to make this car a turn-key driver, log some miles and smiles behind the wheel. I just don’t have the time to see this one through currently.
