Where are the e9s?

I'm looking forward to driving mine as swiftly as I can...

I don’t know of any other e9s in Memphis other than those that I own. They are exceptionally rare in TN,MS and AL. As a goofy nod to Ohmess, a month ago I applied for tags to my 73 3.0 cs. I requested my historic tag read: analog. At the same time I applied for another tag for my e24 m6, my request: digital. I can’t wait to get them on the cars and get some tag shots next to each other.
Was going to mention that I know of a guy named Mark in Memphis with a few e9’s. I realize now that it’s you.

I may have the only CS left in Hawaii. All the others (at one time maybe 8 or 10) have been shipped out. Someone prove me wrong?

Yes. My e9 is regularly at our local Cars & Coffee, but it's the C&C that caters to older cars (and yes, older owners). There are lots of C&C's around here that cater to the Mustang/Porsche/Lamborghini/supercar crowd, but we e9 people avoid those like the plague.
I should start an inventory of the ones here in Iran. There are quite a few and I know most of them.
Problem here is that owners are paranoid of giving out VINs.

Maybe I'm looking at this info incorrectly - or maybe I'm just dense. But I don't understand what I'm looking at. Are these only cars in Germany, as registered at the dates noted?
Yes
I know of 3 e9’s in Michigan, and two in Indiana. There may be more I don’t know of.
As far as e3’s, I thought I was the only one till I found two more. I also have a parts car e3. I should post the vin number I guess.

E9 VINs are always appreciated for my US/NA market spreadsheet.
E9’s seem plentiful here in New England. I don’t know if that’s because we have some great shops for E9 restoration and maintenance or if New Englanders simply bought an inordinately large number of the when they were new. This is, after all, where CCA began. In my town of 15k people there are a couple and if you expand this to include a couple adjacent towns I think we have 5 or 6 E9’s. In the Boston area we must have at least 30 coupes. A fair number of pre-war 328’s and 507’s in the areas as well.
I am sure LA and SF handily beat us on sheer numbers. When I lived in Berkeley 40 years ago, coupes and Alpina BMW’s were practically daily sightings.
Some of this is an illusion since Stan and Andrew get out so often in their E9’s.

Having grown up there, I believe this to be the case.
Within 25 miles of me in Bucks County, Pa there are at least 10. Uh, subtract one, mine, which went to a new owner a year ago. No remorse, no regrets.
larger numbers in each categorize, restored? imported?

Hi.
Personally (yet probably quite representative) my E9 is sadly stuck in my garage for years due to lack of availability and price of spare parts.
Between NLAs and crazy expensive (quite often hoarded..) parts, it has been quite challenging to bring it to top notch condition.
I was super lucky to buy my E9 at 31yo 8 years ago when it was affordable, but I’m not at a situation in life where I can spend too much capital. So progress in getting it completed is slow.
On a positive note I’ll promise you some days it will come out again as pretty as it left Osnabrück

And yet there is one 3.6 miles from your local Wells Fargo branch.
Go have a beer at Culture brewery and introduce yourself.
