Description for BMW 3.0CSi 1973

The top quality restoration of this spectacular Fjord blue 3.0CSi began with an excellent body, solid rocker panels, shock towers and wheel wells. The floor pans and spare tire well did not need replacing. It was a great car to begin with.
The hood, trunk and doors were carefully fit and gaps checked prior to body work and then all removed for painting. The wheel wells and underside were treated with Raptor for added protection, then the body and parts were given three coats of color and four of clear before the body was re-assembled.
The interior is all new - seats were rebuilt and covered in Gobi leather. It has a re-covered dash and re-veneered wood, new carpets and headliner. All the door, windshield and window seals are new. The under dash components were restored. Inside the trunk, new 'elephant skin' vinyl covers new wood panels and the final item in the trunk is a new and stronger toolbox with all new tools.
All the chrome was triple plated over copper and the trim restored. It has new emblems front and back. Mechanically it was upgraded with a 6 series 3.5 motor and a 5 speed transmission from the same donor car. The brakes and the brake and fuel systems were all done. And as you can see from the underside photos, the attention to detail carried over there as well. The whole underside was treated with Raptor to help protect the sheet metal as well as for insulation and noise reduction.
All the AC hoses are new and the compressor upgraded for 134a so you'll be cool and comfortable as you drive around. It has a new but period-looking iPod compatible stereo with new speakers so you can entertain yourself with your favorite sounds.
From the BMW e9's available online right now, there are no 1973 CSi's for sale as beautifully restored as this one. This is a very special e9 that will bring you pleasure for years to come.
We were restoring this CSi for a client whose plans have changed and he asked us to advertise it for him. We are not a dealer but this is a great client so we are happy to do as he asked and facilitate your purchase of this car from him. If you like we will also help to arrange shipping to your location. If you have any questions please call. The car will remain in our possession at our shop until the transaction is completed and it's ready to head your way. Thank you!
I will post more photos and details on Monday.
