Old BMWs
My hobby. Finding them and bringing them back to life.
The black 1983 533i gone - white 1984 633Csi still with me - sitting in the garage waiting for me to re-install the transmission after replacing the clutch.
Amazing how transmissions are easier to remove than install . . .

Used to sell those. Nice cars. What you really need to find, though, is a 1973 3.0CS.

Man, those are the best - the prices are getting ridiculous for rust free southern or California cars though - out of my price range.

I used to own one, bought it new for something like $12,000. You can add another zero these days.

The lines on those cars are perfect - what a design. If I ever find one I can afford I'm going to fit a newer M30 6 cyl. in it and keep it forever.

The CS and CSi all had versions of the M30 (2.8 and 3.0 litre carbureted and 3.0 litre C.I.S. Are you thinking of the 2000 CS?

Some dude a few blocks from me has three in his backyard that look like that, but have a one piece looking headlight (cover?) that wraps around the front.

Could be the 2000 CS, a smaller 4 cylinder version.
