I had to sell my one of these because it was such a money pit - it looked beautiful though and I got an astronomical amount of money for it, so it was a good decision for me at the time. Good luck with it.
Lovely video of a lovely car. Absolute shame about the rust. Rust is such a nasty cancer. Evil. I have a fantastic 1985 500 SEC, but there is some rust in the right rear quarter. I’ll have to replace the whole darn quarter! Only way to properly fix it. Not looking forward to it.
What a great video, Thank you! I’ve just graduated university recently and always wanted to own one, do you know where I should look around for one? Also any tips for when I do start hunting for one? Would appreciate your feedback. Very entertaining video, looking forward to more!
Start with respected classic BMW dealers. In the UK places like Munich Legends, and same anywhere else. If you don't know which are respected join the BMw E9 clubs on Facebook and ask in the chat. Get one restored unless you want to spend triple on the car . Basically, buy a decent one off the bat. And if you find one yourself absolutely have a BMW specialist check it.
I could have left it but was offered a deal on the paint...they eat from the inside out and the sills were also weak at the Jack points. So many of them look good but inside they need work you know. Only way to do it is do it all properly u know...or it comes back
@@autoaddict7481 I’m looking at a 71 Mercedes 250c that has a dozen or more rust spots and rusted seals. Does not, run low mileage and everything is there. Wish it was the shape of your BMW.
What a stunning machine
Never pays them too much attention but this has changed my opinion

@dj_efk yeah people don't realise the extortionate costs involved. Better off buying one restored
Beautiful car!!! Great video.. thanks for sharing

Honest video. Thank you 👍🏻
I too owned a 1973 Model. Worst decision ever made was to sell her. Regrets... regrets .
What were your main concern?

Also check The glove compartment for leakage from windshield also runs down and does damage
I had a 2800 CS
You couldn’t have done spot repairs? I would have never did a respray on that car looking that good.
