BMW 3. 0 CSI (E9) – A Rare Opportunity to Own an Icon
Crafted during one of BMW’s most celebrated eras, the 3. 0 CSI (E9) stands today as an icon of German engineering and grand touring elegance. Offered here is an exceptionally rare right-hand-drive example—one of just 207 produced—presented in its timeless form and with care throughout its life.
Beneath its sculpted bonnet lies BMW’s renowned 3. 0-litre straight-six, equipped with fuel injection and delivering a blend of refinement and performance far ahead of its time.
With a top speed of approximately 135 mph and 0–60 mph in around 7. 5 seconds, the 3. 0 CSI was among the fastest and most capable GT cars of its era. It would go on to inspire the legendary CSL—a dominant force in European touring car racing throughout the 1970s.
Finished in the elegant Nachtblau Metallic, this example showcases the unmistakable design cues that have made the E9 one of BMW’s most admired classics; twin circular headlights, signature kidney grilles and the iconic shark-nose profile.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in oatmeal velour with beautifully crafted wooden accents, creating a warm and sophisticated environment that reflects the very best of period BMW luxury.
This 3. 0 CSI has covered 81, 000 miles from new and remains in good overall condition. Recently, the car has benefitted from a comprehensive inspection and service, including new brakes all round, new tyres, recent MOT.
It comes with some accompanying service history, retains its original registration, and has had just two owners—the current owner having acquired the vehicle in 1988, maintaining it with longstanding care.
