Golfboy666GTI 68 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know how many E9 CSL's are in New Zealand? I know of 4, (black, blue,white & red) and my Father drove an orange one in the 80's (is this car still around?). What made me ask is because I bumped into a client of mine today who was out at the supermarket in her Fathers CSL.

Hi there, I have a friend, Alan who is the oracle of all 70's and 80's BMW's (not to mention modern ones too) who may be able to help with your query. Alan is a member too, but not sure that he reads the topics here too often. He has a blue E9 csi. I will ask him to respond to your query... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golfboy666GTI 68 Report post Posted May 16, 2010 Pretty sure I have seen a middle aged fellow driving an orange one around Auckland. Ive just found a orange 1973 CSL in NZ. Sadly 4 or the 5 CSL's I know about have there licences on exemption. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One was orange and used in Targa a few times, the other , last time i saw it, was being built as a targa car as it was not so good in condition and the Orange one ws going to be put back as a road car.

bellicose 9 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 All E9 CSL's I know of in NZ are registered as CSL's. Yes but, how many E30 318-325 are registered as M3's?, i know of 'bout 7. Also E34 fake M5's? there's 4 in New Plymouth alone. New Zealand registration records are vague to absolute crap to say the least, i would put NO faith in it at all.

These two are CSL's as they are alloy paneled. I assume this is correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However BMW did do parts run-outs for the E9 and E3, not to mention euro' tuners doin' aftermarket panels and stuff. Bloody hard to verify E9's of ANY model. Lots of good info' here tho'. http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
