HIGHLIGHTS: • Iconic BMW E9 3.0 CSi from the sought-after 1972 production year with rare manual transmission • Powerful 3.0-liter fuel-injected engine (200 hp) paired with an original factory pop-up sunroof • Executed in the beloved factory Baikal Blue metallic with a sleek black leather interior • In the past expertly restored and cared for in a dry, enclosed private collection for the last 10 years HISTORY/OVERVIEW: The BMW E9 Coupé, designed under the direction of Wilhelm Hofmeister, is regarded as one of the most elegant ‘Grand Tourers’ in BMW’s history. The 3.0 CSi ('Coupé Sport Injection'), introduced in 1971, represented the top model of the standard E9 range thanks to the use of a Bosch D-Jetronic electronic injection system on the 3.0-liter inline-six engine, delivering 200 hp. This particular 1972 example has been expertly restored and has spent the past 10 years in a dry, enclosed private collection. The car is in very nice, ready-to-drive condition and features a rare combination of attributes: manual transmission, a factory-fitted sunroof, and the desirable Baikal Blue metallic color. EXTERIOR: The bodywork is in a tight, straight condition with excellent panels. The metallic Baikal Blue paint shines with deep gloss. The chrome, the distinctive model badging, and the window surrounds are in excellent condition. The rare original factory sunroof is perfectly functional and opens and closes smoothly. INTERIOR: The interior is finished in full black leather in a very pristine condition. The wooden trim strips on the dashboard are beautifully intact and all instruments and gauges on the dashboard function as they should. ENGINE AND TECHNICAL: Under the hood lies the 3.0-liter inline-six injection engine with 200 hp, paired with a manual transmission. Thanks to its conditioned stay in a collection, the car has remained mechanically well preserved; the engine runs silky smooth and delivers strong torque. The car is ready to drive and technically operable. DOCUMENTS: The BMW is supplied with Dutch registration. The seller can arrange export documents. The vehicle can be viewed and collected. Bids exclude transport and export unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, ownership transfer and any export documents/COC costs is at the buyer’s expense.
