That is really cool. It just goes to show how much manufacturing has improved over the last 30-odd years.

Wow!!! Very impressive photo! About 25 virgin rust free coupes under one roof. Wonder how many of these pictured coupes are still on the road today? The Inka car looks like a CSL.

Thanks for sharing the pic Chris!

Very cool. Judging by the wheels, steering wheels, lack of neckrests, fender and bonnet grilles, the picture ought to be from 1971-1972.
Interesting that the Inka CSL has a black centre grill/kidney.
The one on the lift looks like Colorado.
The near right blue car is very attractive. Nachtblau met. probably, or Baikal perhaps....

I assume that this photo was taken at the BMW plant, and not at Karman. Yet, it is interesting that only E9's are visible in the shot - no Bavarias - so BMW must have dedicated a facility soley to the coupes.

Any information on where and when the photo was taken? Judging from the bumpers and other clues, it appears to be early in the coupe's lifespan.

Also, they all look like European delivery vehicles - none have side lights, and the door mirrors are all mounted far forward.

Too cool!

I'd wager that it's 71-73 also, a Euro production run from the said clues. (3.0 badge, mirrors, and rear euro tail lite)

This should be archived in the Gallery's Documentation section.

Good fun and thanx for sharing.

I think there is a similar photo in one of the Karmann history books.
