The Appeal

For fans of the great Willhelm Hofmesiter, the BMW E9 is a greatest hits album of his workr.

With its distinctive "shark nose" and iconic "Hofmeister kink" at the rear side windows, it's a fabulous piece of automotive design, influencing the way subsequent BMWs would look for years to come. Launched in the autumn of 1971, it was fitted with fuel injection and introduced as the new top model, producing 200 hp and reaching a top speed of 220 km/h.

Here we have a rather special example - a four-speed manual 3.0 CSi which looks in fantastic overall condiiton.

Finished in Polaris Silver Metallic, it's been subject to a respray and presents very well as a result. It's beautifully presented throughout and the vendor assures us that it drives very well indeed.

BMW have produced numerous great cars in their long history, but it's fair to say that the E9 3.0 CSi is one of their best. Don't miss the chance to acquire this fabulous example.
