1973 BMW 3.0 CSi (E9) Classic Car Review

[@davidevans4089]

The best looking BMW , much better than anything they make today.

[@Instacarhk]

Can't disagree with that!

[@RicherPickle]

I have a 1973 Bavaria nearly restored.

[@satoshinakamoto3342]

This is such a sexy car. The design, the engine sound. Wish I was wealthy enough to own this, along with E28 M5

[@swisscottage1070]

That beauty will turn more heads than anything that is made today.

[@juniorrobinson4678]

Yip so agree this and the E30 and E36 only BMs that do it for me

[@kentvonseverin1257]

This is a beautiful example. The LHD cars are exceptionally beautiful to North Americans like myself, with solid wood dash spar that was only used in the LHD vehicles. When I looked through the service records of my 1973 CS there is a history of the ledge of the inner front fender being vacuumed ($250.00 maintenance). The E9 comes alive at 60mph.

I had the same color CSL back in the late 80s and his impression and my memory don't line up. I lived on top of a mountain outside Frankfurt (Feldberg) and my neighbor had a 74 RSR ... although we worked in the same place we'd often race to work and the CSL would often win. This car with updated bilstein suspension & front airdam was better than the Porsche of the day. The RUST issue was true back then with my CSL only being 15 years old (it had a full body rotiserie resto back then .. trunk, floor & front firewall/fender area). The metal was sourced in France back then (as I recall) and it was just not up to BMW standard.

From the time when they still made beautiful cars and specially this model!

Beautiful car. Love the pillar-less look.

[@Instacarhk]

Thanks Allan!

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Best looking car in the world 👊👊👊👊👊 That why my mates family have 5 of them , .... yes ...I said 5 great investment also , prices only going up and up on the csl model specially with the csi model following behind Better to own this model than having money in the bank earning you pennies While these cars are going up in their thousands every year And my mates family drive them all in the summer only Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Steven-p4j]

A special favourite of mine, the distinctive rakish front end along with the wonderful sweep of the C pillar is very distinctive, without peer as far as I am aware.

[@gnaegi444]

Gorgeous car! My dad had one in Taiga Green.. best ever..

[@teddylor1]

This is always one of my favorite oldies, the body design is very stylish and classy

[@germantecahd3416]

My dream car...

[@lexburen5932]

i dont know but with prices for a well sorted clean examples low kilometers these E9's go for wel over 80.000 €. I think these are well regarded as a classic car, but go under the radar you dont see them a lot they are rare sight

[@kzfp]

The camera panning is so good in this video!

[@Instacarhk]

Thanks for watching PK!!

[@songgreaty3338]

I first saw this beautiful car in Mongkok when I was a school kid in 1970's. Love at first sight. many Tks for your marvellous video! Bring back many good old memories. l got a 1972 Benz 280C 4 speed manual anyway, a memorable car as well.

Love the drone footage! And a great review ! Very enjoyable 😊

Thanks!

[@davidbee9563]

Great review of a lovely e9 coupe. As you mentioned the CSL is quite similar to the CSi and many added the optional comforts back into the cars when new. Many confuse the CSL with the 3.2 "Batmobile" model which are quite rare and the values reflect that. When I was a young lad there was a 2800CS along my paper route that I admired. I think the chrome trim goes well with that metallic blue. Does anyone there have an 1800ti sedan? I had one briefly. It was the basis for the TiSA that was raced in the 2 litre touring car series before the smaller 02 two door model. It came with a 5 speed manual and rear disc brakes. That was pre-1970!

[@locsman]

I owned a white csa model back in the early 80's. I Paid £1400 for it.

[@grxiii]

I want one of these so bad.

[@emixmim]

Great review as usual! Looking forward to the next video!

[@Instacarhk]

Thanks for your support!

[@Fc-cb3tn]

It’s been a bit busy for me recently so I haven’t had the chance to watch many Instacar videos, but I’m glad I spent time on this. Production values have gone up a lot, with the music being there but not overly loud and covering up everything else, many more different shots to keep us entertained, and a very interesting choice of car to review. I’m certain you can continue making good reviews even with some of BMW’s recent disgusting releases.

[@Instacarhk]

Thanks for the kind words and support!

[@tomwilbmwe3bavariamodified766]

Agree..... appears BMW has forgotten their roots and what would continue to work.... as far as the classic cars it would do them well to support that area of business. What an excellent job on his you did!

[@Instacarhk]

@@tomwilbmwe3bavariamodified766 Agree, cars these days just aren't what they were before! (fake exhaust noise, artificial backfiring etc.) Thanks for your support!

[@tomwilbmwe3bavariamodified766]

@@Instacarhk and too funny as I have the exact same steering wheel in my 72 e3 Bavaria!

[@bobcoats2708]

Beautiful car and great paint color! Personally I prefer the stock alloys to the Alpinas, and I’d ditch the pinstriping and chrome wheel spats. To each his own. Sadly, it’s not a problem I’ll have, as I doubt I will ever be able to park an E9 in my garage.

[@michaeltan3752]

Yes. No wheel splats. They tend to inhibit rust as water and mud are always present there. Overall, a marvelous and timeless design. Great colour. Great video!

Nice scenery, car is awesome, this car the E-9 BMW 3.0 CSI,would serve as a basis for the 635 CSI model, if you make a comparison, you would see some of the 3.0 roots in it.

Noted!

Beautiful car and nice video!!

[@charbelkfouryck]

One thing i noticed is that the engine sounds underpowered here, maybe the owner left the cam stock (size 3 or 5) those cams don't give much torque and power compared to the (size A or 7)ones.

[@raphaelfernandes5921]

Had the same colour 1971 totally restoref Twin tone light beige/brown leather. Had It 5 years and decided to restore to absolute newstate. 2 months after finishing(2 year restauration) I got hit by a drunk.dtiver on the highway,hit an H-beam and the car curved around it! Totall loss! Car was value estimated by insurance company after.restauration but the money could not save the car. Still thinking about the special periode in My life. A well documented photo process is all that remains.

[@Instacarhk]

I am very sorry to hear about your story! Must've been heartbreaking! But at least it sounded like you got out of the accident ok

[@amanuelkindie5161]

Classic cars don’t belong in big cities and countries like US. They are made to be driven in a greener town with vintage small buildings built in the medieval age , and where there are less people, countries like Italy and France, specially the country side towns in these countries . You just don’t get as much satisfaction driving a classic in an urban center with big flashy electric towers around you. It feels proper to drive a vintage car in a vintage town. Period don’t argue with me.
