Thanks Andy!
Me and my spleen say:
1) Shows so much wheel well they should call Carl Nelson for aftermarket coils. So many years of buying BMW stuff it is time they buy from him.
2) In the dark even my car looks great, open a window, let's see the bride in the morning.
3) Interior. Leather or vinyl are nice, but that one...
4) Klippans, wear them below your armpit to be comfortable.
5) I like the cover protecting the front end from below, not much flying gravel in a museum though.
6) Antenna placement just like mine, woohoo!
7) From where I seat the triangular window would block the mirror.
8 ) Rear bumper has the "wavy rubber" problem, have Jay Mackro stop by and fix it.
Hope there was no admission fee, I know there is none to my garage.

Lovely CSi! Don't know about the two tone interior though. Hate to nitpick, but what's up with the non-stock stainless steel tailpipe. A museum grade car for BMW is suppose to be 100 percent stock! Sorry for being so critical!

That CS was in the BMW hall at the IAA car show in Frankfurt last year.
I saw it in the Museum last year during our ED. I forgot to get the VIN number so that we could record it in the registry. I emailed the Museum and asked for the VIN. They said that the VIN was "private information".

Originality
Guys,
The lower body panels in the pictures all seem to have a texture.( front apron for example.) Was this the way they came from the factory?
My car has the same texture in the same locations (and the rocker covers) and I need to touch them up. I have a dark blue metallic and the texture is black. Years ago, there was a bumper paint/ protection that some manufacturers used under or sometimes over the color.
Thanks,
61Porsche

"Original" CSi
1. The underpan was an original item with all E-9's--but usually disappeared at about the 3 or 4th service as removal and reattachment became a nuisance.
2. Where is the chrome extension on the non-stock S/S exhaust outlet--again all E-9's came with them.
3) I do agree--it sits too high--of course all did when new--a set of Carls springs along with a fender roll would make its stance more poised--even with original 14" wheels.

I bought a new, but very dusty underpan and brackets in '83, so my '72 actually has one.
As Murray said, very few of these still exist. I have seen only one, an original owner polaris coupe that regularly comes to the West Coast Summer Concours and formerly Concorso Italiano.

original E9 underpan
Just curious, what is the original E9 underpan made out of? Thanks,

If not cardboard something very similar.
Yes, seems to be coated cardboard. Hard surface and will surely crack if it gets bended.
I have the original pan to my car still hanging on the garage wall. Perhaps to be mounted on the car that day I no longer are needed to crawl under the car once in a week to check that’s things are OK....
BMW 3.0 CS with only 5000 km
If I remember correctly, BMW took, in late 1974 or 1975, a BMW 3.0 CS direct from the production line and stored it. The car is Fjord, equipped with power mirror, rear power windows, seats in blue plysch, Radio Bavaria and with an automatic antenna. By 1990 it had only been driven 5000 km and could be one of the best preserved and most original E9s in the world.
Cheers

The same material that the E10 ('02) under-dash panels are made out of, some sort of goofy fibreboard. Have seen one of them in 30 years. It was the ubiquitous grey colour, as I recall it had been removed from the orange ultra-low-mileage L that the Gilroy CA father/son team had in the mid-90's. Looked like schmutz, alright.
