BMW E9 (1971) for Sale in IL

This 1971 BMW 3.0 CSL is one of just 169 first-series examples, built as a homologation model for European touring car competition. Finished in Verona over black vinyl and cloth, the coupe features classic CSL styling with black side-strip graphics, hood pins, black front and rear bumpers, chrome wheel-arch trim, and 14″ Alpina wheels. The suspension includes independent front and rear setups with MacPherson struts, torsion anti-roll bars, Bilstein gas dampers, and progressive-rate springs, while braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, the cabin offers fixed-back front bucket seats and contoured rear seats upholstered in black vinyl and fabric, with air conditioning and a cassette stereo for comfort and entertainment. The driver-focused cockpit features a three-spoke steering wheel, 250-km/h speedometer, tachometer, analog clock, and fuel and coolant gauges. Power comes from the factory-rated 3.0-liter M30 inline-six engine with dual carburetors, delivering smooth and responsive 180-horsepower performance to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. With just 74,000 kilometers (~46,000 miles), this 3.0 CSL is a rare, highly collectible E9 coupe ready for driving or preservation.
