I joined the forum a few weeks ago just to say hi.


1972 BMW E9 Carburettor CSL by Classic Heroes, on Flickr

I've just collected our E9 carburettor CSL form Munich, unfortunately due to the poor weather the car's not been out anywhere, but I have put a few pictures on our website and written a small history. There's also a YouTube video on the car. This is our car and as big CSL enthusiasts we are really thrilled to have it.

If anyone would like any help with CSL's whether it be parts, inspections, car or just advice, then please just give us a call.

I've also had a few t shirts made inspired by the E9 CSL.

Hi Yannick
After reading this,I thought it is an original ,unrestored car.I guess it really doesn't matter.It is a really nice example:

" We eventually bought the car in May 2009, It was being stored close to Munich. It was the perfect opportunity to call in and see our great friends at BMW Classic. They were very excited at the prospect of seeing an original, "unrestored" carburettor CSL. So after collecting the car we drove it through Munich city centre and straight back to it’s spiritual home at BMW’s HQ and the Classic Centre Workshops.

Together we planned a programme of mechanical re-commissioning to ensure that the car was as good as new. All the time related components such as fuel lines, coolant hoses and the like were replaced and the car was given an extensive service programme. We also took the opportunity to detail the underneath of the vehicle and protect the car with gentle anti corrosion measures.

Whilst BMW Classic and their extensive workshop facilities were used in relation to the main re-commissioning works. We at Classic Heroes took certain items, such as the specific CSL Bilstein dampers and had them re-built by our specialists (in some cases the original manufacturers). It was our intention to keep the car as absolutely "original" as possible, so the car was left with BMW Classic to carry out the major works, whilst we carried out the specialist off site works".

Thanks, let me know if you have any trouble finding the mats, they look brilliant, we put some NOS in a 2002 and they look great.
