BMW E9 Coupes

Few cars carry two reputations as comfortably as the E9. The 2800 CS and 3.0 CS were the most graceful things BMW built in the era, pillarless Karmann bodies over a willing straight six, while the CSL stripped the same shape for homologation and became the Batmobile that dominated European touring car racing for a decade. Australia holds a strong population of these coupes and they trade here regularly, with CSLs at the summit, CSi injection cars close behind, and honest CS examples the accessible entry. Body condition and documented restoration work decide outcomes more than kilometres, and the best cars are keenly contested whenever they appear.
