What do the aficionados think?Is it worth messing with and can anyone
tell me what I should watch out for?There were like 7000 made and the
price tag reflects this also!Also how much is too much?Thanks in
advance!

Damn nice, but not as nice as a 3.0CS/i. Price depends on where you are!

Watch for rust and a complete interior. Mechanical parts are fairly
cheap and easy to get in comparison to trim parts and body panels.

Yes,I have to agree that the 3.0CSi would be nicer but "batmobile"
3.0CSL is the icing on the cake!

The clutch on her slips a little and has 82,000 miles on the clock
roughly.The guy came down on price due to the clutch and I am the only
one who has shown any interest,but still at $7800US,it seems a little
steep.Very nice condition but not that nice!Also the seat is a little
droopy due to his girth I assume,so how hard to find the seat?

Can you swap them over? I did this on a high milage 735i.
