Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Helbich

This is a particularly interesting E9, as the car has been completely restored at great expense and also has a unique history: it was stored in a dry warehouse for approximately 30 years. Following the restoration, this coveted manual 3.0 CSi is now in excellent condition, as confirmed by a Classic Analytics Grade 1. An iconic BMW that is perfect for any collector!

Summary

For sale is a 1975 BMW 3.0 CSi E9 in the iconic exterior color Inca Orange with a black leather interior. The vehicle was delivered in Germany, is a second-hand car, and has a mileage of 98,679 kilometers. Particularly noteworthy is the exceptionally consistent vehicle history: The car was originally ordered in Inca Orange and reordered in Canadian Red prior to delivery—as documented by two official delivery certificates in the BMW archives. The repainting was thus performed at the factory; the color was not altered privately. The BMW was deregistered in 1989, and corresponding documentation is available. The car was subsequently stored in a dry warehouse for many years, which significantly contributed to its excellent condition. The final restoration took place at Dresdner Klassiker Handel between March 2024 and December 2024, before the BMW was re-registered in December 2024. The body, paint, and mechanical components are in very good, nearly like-new condition. The vehicle is completely rust-free, and the underbody panels are flawless. All wear parts have been replaced, the leather has been reupholstered, and the interior shows minimal wear. The original sunroof, ordered as an option, and Alpina replica wheels are included. A Classic Analytics evaluation with a grade of 1- confirms its excellent condition. A comprehensive photo portfolio documenting all stages of the restoration, as well as all vehicle documents, are available. With its impeccably consistent history and excellent condition, this BMW 3.0 CSi ranks among the most compelling E9s on the market.

    Guten Tag Betreffend des von Ihnen zu verkaufenden BMW 3.0 CSi habe ich folgende Fragen: Im der Classic Analytics-Bewertung aus 2025 wird das Fahrzeug mit der Note 1- bewertet. Ich habe am Fahrzeug festgestellt, dass folgende Komponenten vom Serienstandart abweichen: Leder Polsterung Aluminium Felgen Endschalldämpfer Lenkrad Schalthebelknauf des Weiteren ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Motorhaube sehr schlecht eingepasst ist der Dachhimmel nicht mehr schön ist die Mittelkonsole defekt ist das Radio nicht zeitgenössisch ist der Teppich im Fussraum nicht schön eingepasst ist eine Gummidichtung bei der Motorhaube fehlt eine Gummidichtung der rechten Türe bei der A - Säule lose ist nur einmal die Wichtigsten aufzuzählen Deshalb frage ich mich, wie denn Classic Analytics-Bewertung auf eine Bewertung von 1- kommt, unabhängig davon wie hoch der Verkaufspreis ist. Von wem bzw. in welcher Fachwerkstatt wurde denn das Fahrzeug restauriert ? Für ihre Bemühungen um eine Rückantwort danke ich Ihnen jetzt schon im Voraus bestens. Mit freundlichen Grüssen

      Technik: Von 1968 bis April 1971 war ausschließlich der BMW 2800 CS mit 2,8-l-Vergasermotor mit 170 PS (125 kW) verfügbar. Insgesamt entstanden 9.399 Exemplare des BMW 2800 CS. Im April 1971 wurde dieses Modell durch den 3.0 CS (ebenfalls mit Vergasermotor, 180 PS [132 kW]) ersetzt, der 10.898 Mal bis zum Produktionsstopp im Dezember 1975 gebaut wurde. Beide Fahrzeuge waren auch mit einem Dreigang-Automatikgetriebe von ZF lieferbar (interne Bezeichnung BMW 2800 CSA bzw. BMW 3.0 CSA). Im Herbst 1971 kam als weitere Modellvariante der BMW 3.0 CSi mit Bosch-D-Jetronic-Saugrohreinspritzung hinzu, der ansonsten baugleich mit dem BMW 3.0 CS ist. Dieses Modell hat 200 PS (147 kW), beschleunigt in 7,7 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h und erreicht eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 220 km/h. Bis zum Produktionsstopp im November 1975 entstanden 8.144 Fahrzeuge. 844 mal gebaut wurde der BMW 2.5 CS im Zeitraum von 1974 bis 1975. Der 150 PS (110 kW) starke Zweieinhalbliter war das Einstiegsmodell und äußerlich nur an den fehlenden Stoßstangenhörnern hinten sowie dem Schriftzug von den großen Dreilitermodellen zu unterscheiden. In 9,9 Sekunden beschleunigt das Fahrzeug mit Schaltgetriebe auf 100 km/h, bei 200 km/h war die Höchstgeschwindigkeit erreicht.
