A bit off the subject, but I am rebuilding a 1962 700LSL and need some window channels for the front doors. Any condition so long as I can use them for a pattern.
If you know of anyone with 700 spares for sale please let me know.

BMW E9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BMW New Six CS (internal name BMW E9) is the two-door sport coupé in BMW's New Six line, produced from 1968 to 1975 alongside the four-door BMW E3 sedan.

It featured BMW M30 straight-6 engines of 2.5, 2.8 and 3.0 litres in road cars, with larger units used in racing.

It was very successful in racing and helped establish BMW's status as a sporty driver's car, with success in European Touring Car Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft.

The CSL model is very collectible today.

Models
* 2.5 CS: 150 hp (110 kW), produced in small numbers (874) from 1974 to 1975
* 2800 CS: 170 hp (125 kW), produced from 1968 to 1971
* 3.0 CS: 180 hp (132 kW), 2985cc, using twin Zenith 35/40 INAT carburetors
* 3.0 CSi: With several modifications, including a new compression ratio, and retuned Bosch D-Jetronic Electronic fuel injection system, the 3.0 CSi bumped power up to an impressive 200 PS (149.1 kW), with a 137 mph (220 km/h) top speed.
* 3.0 CSL: The 3.0 CSL is considered the first project by the BMW M division. The car was a lightweight, 3003cc sports model of the 3.0 coupe. Special racing models with 3.2-litre (340 hp/253 kW) and 3.5-litre (430 PS) engines and aerodynamic trimmings helped establish BMW as a premier racing team.

Tg Mahaleel, the ex-CEO of Proton, owned a CSL up till the 80's. initially wine red, then painted silver with the red&blue stripes plus those fins on the bonnet. he swapped the B30 to a B35 engine. dunno who bought it off him..

engine parts are similar to the non-lighweight models.
 
The 507 is a very rare car and indeed one of the most beautiful bmw ever made. It was used by Sean Connery in one of the Bond movies. The Z8 roadster is based on the 507.

Never seen any here but saw one in the BMW museum...stunning!;)

Sean Connery as James Bond never used a BMW, much less a 507. If it's the white convertible you are referring to, it's a Toyota 2000GT.

The few times James Bond was seen in a BMW was when Pierce Brosnan was in the lead role. I believe he used a 750iL, Z3 & Z8.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any 507s in Malaysia. Best bet is Singapore and Brunei. What about the 'Batmobile'? Anyone know of any in the country?
 
Yup you are right, it was the z8 used by Brosnan of which the design was based on th 507.

Thanks for the correction.;)

Cheers
 
Wahh...old thread revived....

I remember some years ago i had a crush on the e9 and was hoping some forummer here own one so can drool at it. Saw a few on the road before but not sure CSL or not. Its truely a gentlemen car and comparing it to e30, i shouldnt, but anyway, its like separating the boys from man. Just my 2c.
