The E9 coupe, as it is known today by its internal designation, has
become a highly sought after car that is essentially the post-war
standard for an understatedly elegant coupe. Karmann built the body
shells for BMW and the car is essentially one of the prettiest ways
to creatively trap moisture ever devised. Rust-free and
well-restored examples are rare.
This E9 Coupe is one of those rust-free examples, where the body
was restored from the previous owner @2015 along with a full engine
rebuild from Korman Autoworks, a very reputable BMW high
performance engine shop. This M30 also has a Schrick cam and triple
Weber carburetors. There has only been 1000 miles put on the car
since the rebuild. New shocks/struts were replaced all around. The
underbody is in excellent condition with no rot or visible rust;
however, it should be noted the underside was treated with POR15, a
leading rust inhibitor coating. Additional performance upgrades
from the current owner include a high performance Pertronix
electronic distributor and coil, halo headlights with LED beams and
stainless steel exhaust and headers. The car sounds amazing going
down the road with a deep European muscle car sound. The current
owner also restored the interior including new front and rear
leather seats, carpets, new seat belts, new blue-tooth stereo with
handsfree mic, new steering wheel and shift knob. Additionally the
wood trim on the dash and door panels was in rough shape and the
current owner decided to sand the wood down, repair the structure
of the trim and cover with carbon fiber. It looks excellent. The
power windows all work. The current owner also converted to
European bumpers and installed a new heavy-duty radiator. The car
drives solid and is a fun going down the road. It is estimated this
BMW is pushing 200+ hp due to its performance upgrades. Hagerty
valuations show these cars are appreciating rapidly and this one
makes for a great investment.
Some things should be noted: 1) there is a small crack in the paint
on the hood from the wind slamming the hood shut with a jump pack
laying inside the engine compartment. This caused a small ding and
crack in the paint. 2) there is a quarter size dent in the front
lower drivers side fender, 3) there is a paint chip that was
touched up around the rear trunk emblem. 4) The A/C does not
function right now as it still needs to be rebuilt. The sale will
come with the functioning factory compressor. 5) there is no choke
installed on the triple Weber carbs and does require someone to sit
there to warm up the car. Once warmed up the car runs and idles
awesome. A manual choke can be installed inexpensively. 6) The
headliner is in ok condition, but to make the interior show worthy,
one might want to replace.
