The BMW E9 was built between December 1968 and December 1975 by Karmann at its plant in Rheine. The range consisted exclusively of six-cylinder in-line engines with a displacement of between 2.5 and 3.2 litres and an output of 150 to 206 hp. In 1968, the E9 replaced the BMW Coupé 2000 C/CA/CS of the “New Class”, on which it was based and which had been built since 1965. The biggest, immediately visible change to the body was a front end adapted to the “BMW family” with four H1 headlights. From 1968 to April 1971, only the BMW 2800 CS with a 2.8-litre carburettor engine and 170 hp was available. In April 1971, this model was replaced by the 3.0 CS (also with a carburettor engine and now 180 hp). In autumn 1971, another model variant was added, the BMW 3.0 CSi with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, which was otherwise identical to the BMW 3.0 CS. This model had 200 hp, accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and reached a top speed of 220 km/h. According to the information available, our 3.0 CSi - one of only 8,144 vehicles built - was delivered in Italy and registered for the first time on 11 December 1972. The sporty coupé was brought to Switzerland by its first owner in its early years and registered here. In November 1979, with around 107’000 km on the clock, the CSi was taken over by his last family of owners. Over the past 46 years, the BMW has been driven with pleasure, always treated well and conscientiously maintained. In 1980, a replacement cylinder head was fitted and in 1984, at 132’000 km, the connecting rod bearings were replaced and a replacement gearbox was installed. Probably in 1989, the car was fitted with a Getrag 5-speed sports gearbox and, at the end of the year, the body was completely restored, fitted with new front fenders and a new trunk lid, and repainted in its original “midnight blue metallic” colour. In 2010, new carpets were made and fitted in the interior, and in 2013, the CSi received a new black leather interior trim. As the documents dating back to 1978 show, the indicated mileage of just under 200’000 km is verifiable, and the BMW is currently in good to very good condition and has been very well maintained. Numerous spare parts, such as the 4-speed gearbox and the original seats in grey velour, are available and will be handed over with the car. The last veteran MOT took place in May 2025, meaning that this rare Bavarian can be registered immediately.
