1971 BMW E9 Coupe

This 1971 BMW 3.0CSi is a European-specification example that is said to have been first delivered to Beilharz BMW of Vöhringen, Germany, and reportedly underwent a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2018. The car is finished in blue over tan cloth upholstery and powered by a numbers-matching 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 16″ Alpina wheels, a sunroof, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, and polished exterior trim. This E9 is now offered in Leipzig, Germany, with the removed factory wheels with tires and German registration. After an extended period of storage, the body is said to have been taken down to bare metal prior to a repaint in the factory Baikal Metallic (042) under prior ownership. Equipment consists of polished trim, chrome bumpers with black impact strips, and a single exhaust outlet. Close-up photos of the paint and trim can be seen in the gallery below. Alpina 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with a mixed set of Goodyear and Continental tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The factory removed 14″ wheels with roundel center caps mounted with Maxxis tires is included in the sale and shown in the gallery. The manually-adjustable seats are trimmed in tan cloth and are joined by matching door panels and brown carpets. Equipment includes a push-button BMW Bavaria radio, air conditioning, wood trim accents, power windows, and a sunroof. An Alpina three-spoke steering wheel frames a 240-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 63k kilometers (~39k miles). The numbers-matching 3.0-liter M30B30 inline-six features an aluminum cylinder head and Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection. The engine was reportedly resealed under prior ownership and was factory rated at 197 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a retrofitted five-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos can be seen in the gallery below. The VIN tag indicates a chassis number of 2260470 which matches the number shown on the car’s German registration documents. A set of factory 14″ alloy wheels with roundel center caps and mounted with Maxxis tires are included in the sale.
