Comments from the seller

- # 181 of 207 - 1 of only 18 factory- delivered to Australia . - owned 39 years . Beautiful example of this grand tourer .One of the best BMW designs that presents “as new” with nominal mileage since total restoration. Fully rebuilt original engine by specialist Galloway Engines with new pistons, bearings, valves, camshaft and NOS cylinder head. External engine components have a blend of zinc plated, vapour blasted, ceramic and powder-coated components. Suspension has sought-after Carl Nelson lowering springs ,camber plates and Bilstein shock absorbers. Every bushing and rubber is new. LSD comprises new clutch plates and bearings.Both brake servos have been rebuilt together with all calipers.These improvements and upgrades have optimized the driving experience and the car sits rock solid at high speeds . Braking performance is exceptional with discs to all four corners . The elegant Interior has been re-trimmed to the highest standard in striking red leather with imported German carpet from KHM . All woodwork meticulously redone and finished by master craftsman. A factory sunroof ( desirable manual type) with new headliner is installed .Airconditioning can be made available . Extensive additional items include new chrome ,stainless exhaust ,rebuilt BBS “Style 5 “ rims ,Nardi steering wheel,123 electronic ignition,rebuilt steering box,new fuel injectors etc. Anyone that has restored an E9 can attest to the lengthy process involved (and expense ) to ensure it is “done right” . I carried out my restoration over a period of some 10 years during which time rare and NLA parts were sourced. So, what is offered here is the culmination of many years of bloodied knuckles, sweat and tears. I first saw this rolling piece of art in a dealership showroom all those yeas ago and was totally enthralled with what is now considered BMW’s most beautiful car ever. Some four decades later it still evokes the same response from car enthusiasts of all ages and I have never tired of that timeless pillarless profile. This csi is not just about good looks either given it is a true GT that was rated for a top speed nudging 140 mph back in the 70’s. After nearly forty years of ownership,it is time for a new custodian to enjoy and appreciate this rare and beautiful classic vehicle.
