Got this gem a few weeks ago. My uncle's car for 30 years. Have loads of spare parts for it but lots of welding still neeeded. Should be a beast when it's finished

1972 BMW 3.0 CSI 3.0 6 cylinder.

Here are some piccys for now:

What a beautiful machine! I forgot how good old BMWs look.Best of luck with your project.

[shantybeater]

Oh wow, what a project! Will be following this with interest! Will you be going for the batmobile look at the end?

[Josh_PoloGTi]

What a beautiful car!

Good luck with the build

[joe2612]

Thanks guys, No don't want to try to make it something it's not, as only the CSLs came as a batmobile version. I'll just be putting a CSL chin spoiler on and some period Alpinas i think.

I've signed up on the E9 forum..... they're all old American and scary...

I believe my dad has a 2002 if that means anything?

Any news on the restoration?

We have a Polo and l recently bought a 2002 BMW Z3 3.0.
These are available for no money, although you need £6k for a good/low mileage one.

Parts availability from BMW is exceptional. Everything is still available, despite the car being out of production for 12 years.
The only part l have been unable to get is front mud flaps!
