Ironically, The Market for Happiness-Bringing E9s Remains Depressed

I think to bring happiness, you need to have it in abundance. I can’t imagine how you can share what you don’t have, this also applies to love, including. Recently, I’ve been in a state of no resource and I feel pressed down. I decided to seek help from online therapy https://www.facebook.com/CalmerryTherapy/ I hope that this will help restore my balance and become filled with the best emotions again.

Any one knows where I can find grey velvet upholstery for 2800 CS ??

There are three chapters in my new book “Memoirs of a Hack Mechanic: How Fixing Broken BMWs Helped Make Me Whole (a memoir with actual useful stuff)” (Bentley Publishers) about the 1973 3.0CSi I have owned for 27 years. Judging the true rust condition of even a pretty, shiny E9, and dealing with rust that’s trivial on other cars, is risky for four reasons. First, if there’s rust at the bottom of an E9s’ front fender, the fender can’t simply be removed and a new one bolted on, like on a 2002, without removing the windshield and cutting the fender where it is lap-seamed and brazed at the lower corners of the windshield. Second, the E9’s inner front fender contains a moisture trap that can eventually perforate the firewall, and because of the way the fender is attached, you can’t simply unbolt it to check the condition of what lies beneath. Third, what appears to be a rocker panel on an E9 is actually a nearly four-inch wide piece of trim held on with a dozen tiny Phillips screws. You don’t know the true condition of the rocker panel beneath it unless you remove this panel, and that’s a pretty tall order to ask an owner, since if the panel has been on there for 30 or 40 years, the screws typically strip or snap. Fourth, the rear shock towers are obscured by 40-year-old plastic “alligator skin” covers. You won’t know the condition of the rear shock towers without removing these covers, and they’re so brittle that they easily shatter when disturbed, so, again, taking them off as part of a PPO is a tall order. For these reasons, many people have bought pretty, shiny E9s only to find out that the rust situation is far worse than they thought. Some sellers intentionally obfuscate, but some honestly don’t know. I tell people they shouldn’t believe an E9 is rust-free unless they see photos of a stripped car undergoing a recent restoration or purchase one from one of the handful of experts whose word is gold.

E9 coupes just ooze class. One day…
