THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1973 CSi is in good to very good 99% rust-free condition overall with excellent shock towers
front and rear and fairly solid underside with some beginning of rust areas on the floor sections. The paint has a
very nice lustrous shine with what looks to be original chrome and trim. It is missing one of the rear under-bumper
pieces and rear badging with other imperfections on the body of this car that include a few isolated corrosion
spots, touched up nicks and other minor blemishes. Inside the rear boot, the tool kit and the elephant skin side
inserts are missing though the original spare tire, jack, rigid cover panels and carpet are in place.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this E9 coupe is in good overall condition with all working lighted gauges [except the odometer],
good heat with working blower motor, near flawless vinyl dashboard, nicely reupholstered seats front and rear, nice
door panels, original headliner and working manual crank sunroof, cool period-correct stereo and manual front
windows. Imperfections inside this classic cockpit include [but not limited to] deterioration and cracking of the
wood trim at the corners of doors and dash, one rear window inop, light cracking on the original "bus" steering
wheel, worn carpet pieces with one missing section, tattered bottom of the door upholstery bottom. Overall this is
one still very handsome cockpit that needs little to be perfect again!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This old coupe starts easily, runs fairly well [there is still an occasional sputtering which I am told is due to a
worn TPS unit], drives quite well with light and responsive steering and nice tracking down the road. The
suspension is supple and quiet, the braking is strong and true, the transmission shifts beautifully [recommend new
shifter bushings for an even crisper feel]. With its open cockpit and smooth inline six cylinder engine, piloting
this beautiful coupe on the open road is truly a blissful and attention getting driving experience.

BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
BMW M4 Convertible poised for Goodwood unveil
Sat, 22 Mar 2014It shouldn't be a shock that BMW is working on a convertible version of the M4. Not only have we caught it testing twice, but this is an automaker that seems willing to build a vehicle for nearly every buyer's needs. Evo claims that the high-performance droptop is going to debut at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England from June 26-29.
Judging from the spy shots we've seen, the M4 Convertible will consist of a retractable hard top like the 4 Series cabrio. Other than the roof, there aren't expected to be many changes from the coupe. The engine will be the same turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, but the added weight of the roof and its mechanism may take a small bite out of performance.
We spoke to BMW USA about the rumor and were told that it has no comment at this time. After the M4 Convertible, Evo claims that BMW is working on a M4 Gran Coupe. How that would be all that different from an M3, isn't exactly clear.
BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
