About this car

The E9 3.0 CS is one of BMW's most elegant coupes, with a pillarless profile, a slim glasshouse and the smooth M30 straight-six. This is the automatic CSA, a less common choice than the manual car, and right-hand-drive automatics are now very scarce. The dealer believes it is one of only 27 still registered in the UK.

It is a 1973 car in Ceylon Gold metallic with a dark blue leather interior, and has covered 36,082 miles with eight previous owners. The history file reportedly includes photographs of an older restoration. More recent work includes refreshing the gearbox and interior by Munich Legends, with roughly £10,000 to £15,000 said to have been spent this year.

It has just had a full service and check by Brad's Classic & Specialist Cars. It is MOT exempt through age but has a current MOT, and it is exempt from the ULEZ charge.
