Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

This E9 has many of the features that collectors and enthusiasts are looking for: the classic Polaris Metallic color combination with a beautiful blue velour interior, manual transmission, and excellent condition. A Classic Data rating of 2+ confirms the high standard of this car. The 3.0 CS and CSi models are among the most sought-after BMW classics due to their elegance and legendary inline six-cylinder engine, and the model offered here is no exception—everything about it is just right!

      Guten Morgen, die Lackdichte auf der Fahrerseite ist > 600. Ist ein Unfall vom Vorbesitzer bekannt oder warum wurde gespachtelt?

        Spricht etwas dagegen, diese Bilder zu veröffentlichen oder zu versenden? Sind alle Schlüssel und Dokumente vorhanden (BA, Serviceheft ...)? Ist die Restauration und Lackierung 1995 dokumentiert? Wer hat das ausgeführt?

            Zur Lackierung aus 1995 liegt die Rechnung einer Fachwerkstatt vor. Diese scheint jedoch nicht mehr zu existieren. Es sind alle Schlüssel vorhanden. Rechnungen, Classic Data Bewertungen etc. sind seit 1993 vorzeigbar. Ob weitere Bilder veröffentlicht werden können, muss der Website Betreiber entscheiden.

              Technik: Der BMW E9 war ein Pkw-Modell von BMW, das zwischen Dezember 1968 und Dezember 1975 im Lohnauftrag bei Karmann im Werk Rheine gebaut wurde. Das Angebot umfasste ausschließlich Sechszylinder-Reihenmotoren mit einem Hubraum zwischen 2,5 und 3,2 Liter und einer Leistung von 150 bis 206 PS (110 bis 151 kW). Der E9 löste das ab 1965 gebaute BMW Coupé 2000 C/CA/CS der „Neuen Klasse“, auf dem er basierte, im Jahr 1968 ab. Die größte, sofort sichtbare Veränderung an der Karosserie war eine an die „BMW-Familie“ angepasste Front mit den H1-Doppelscheinwerferpaaren. Die dadurch entstandene Ähnlichkeit mit dem BMW E3 kann den Eindruck erwecken, es sei eine Coupé-Variante dieses Modells, was jedoch nicht zutrifft. Insgesamt entstanden 30.546 Wagen. Nachfolger des E9 wurde 1976 die erste 6er Baureihe (E24). LG Tom
