Here is my BMW 3.0 CS Coupe. Its fitted with a 3.5 Ltr M90 (rare with different bore and stroke to usual 3.5 motor) which is standard for now putting out arround 200 bhp although I'm currently working on individual throttle bodies. I finished restoring the car in Febuary this year after replacing the Bonnet, doors and bootlid for light weight aluminium items. The roof and floor pans were also replaced and the boot floor was also cut out and redesigned to my own spec. I then strengthend up the rear subframe mounts before tying the (very flexible) shell together with a home made roll cage. Since comleting the car I've been to a couple of BMW shows this year and won best classic at one. Since then the car has also been involved in a accident and is currently sitting in storage whilst the 3rd parties insurance decide wether to bother making contact with my solicitor.     |

That is absolutely gorgeous! I've always loved this shape, and the back end does indeed look the business! Hope the damage isn't too bad, and you can get it sorted OK.

Thanks for all your compliments guys and for your concern over the accident. Fortunatly the damage to the body is limited to a ripple in the N/S front wing, broken indicator lamp unit (NLA) Bent suspension tie bar (NLA but sourced second hand one) and a buckled front wheel also NLA.

Dear. God. That's. Beautiful.
Bosh a pair of Triumph 955i throttle body sets on it along with a good aftermarket management setup.
