Another BAT car 72 Euro 3.0 CSi.. this one has been modified extensively, too far in my opinion. And the colors make it look like a taxi inside.
Overdone?

looks like a nice car to me. what kinda taxis are you riding in?
Not sure what you mean by taxi interior, but the wood and the leather and the Coco mats? all clash violently against my eyeballs. It lacks the subtly of most coupe interiors. It sort of pops.
That is an unusual interior color not often seen but the car looks to be well put together... I like it.
Change the fugly steering wheel and swap in more harmonious floor mats though.

Ahh. So a color combination originally available on Coupes and Coco mats fail to please you? Good thing it's not your car and no one gives a flying F what you think.

C'mon guys...It's personal preference. No need to bash his choices. It continues to amaze me that we all focus on the personal or inconsequential details of other E9's when the elephant in the room that rarely get's talked about is the frigging chassis. Personally, I don't give a rats ass if the interior isn't my preferred color or the steering wheel isn't to my liking. The thing you'll sink 10's of thousands of dollars and month/years of time into is the chassis. Is it solid? Has it been restored by someone knowledgeable? Was it documented? Next, is the engine.. solid? Modded? awesome. Who did it? THOSE are the questions...Not oh the frigging steering wheel isn't a Petri ....blah..blah..blah.
I'd MUCH rather swap an interior color or move the engine compartment stickers around, or buy some little red handled screwdriver than cut the front fenders off and open up the rockers, or replace the floors and I would hazard a guess, so would all of you.
I'll let myself out now...;-)

I think you’ve nailed it!
everyone has there own taste. I am sure some object to my hula girl.
I think this tread explains why he do... https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/72-e9-csi-on-bat.39867/
I really like this car. Looks very solid. Nice color. GLWTS @RJRuiz
Sold $120K
Fabulous car.
Only nit is the black door grab bars. Easy for new owner to get red ones.
Congrats on a great sale!
I'd put that money towards a 993 turbo

Thanks! Going to drive my 850 CSi for awhile before I buy anything else. Thinking convertible next.
Let's see what's out there when I'm ready again.

You wouldn't get too far w 120k towards a 993 turbo now... They dipped a while back but have come back with a vengeance. Nice ones are 170 now... and let's not even discuss the 964 market. Crazy
I think the hula girl........assuming it's fully functional (spring works properly, no rust, skirt is real thatch, belly moves properly, nice smile) etc.......adds as least........$10K!

Everytime I see those steering wheels in a coupe I immediately think the seller bought it off ebay for $50 and robbed the petri wheel out of it before listing it for sale haha
Since my car came from Hawaii and has the Koa wood trim the hula girl would be a sensible addition.
