What’s special about this listing
A real one. And then some.
This is an actual 3.0CSi, not a conversion and that alone puts it in a different league. The E9 shape is one of BMW’s finest, and the CSi sits right at the top.
Powered by the legendary M30 12-valve engine, paired with a 5-speed dog-leg manual gearbox, this car delivers exactly what it should strong, smooth, and properly engaging. It runs very well and goes exactly how a CSi should… like the clappers.
What sets this one apart even further is the pedigree.
The car was built by Jack Kaplan, who also carried out the engine work a name that speaks for itself when it comes to BMW performance builds.
Engine features include the uprated cylinder head, with armour seats and sodium exhaust valves, adding strength and durability to an already proven setup.
Additional highlights:
* Left-hand drive
* Factory Recaro seats
* Electric windows
* Momo steering wheel
* Kicker sound system
* Papers in order
This is not a garage queen.
This is an excellent driver strong, sorted, and ready to be used as intended.
Cars like this don’t come around often.
Real CSi. Properly built. Properly sorted.
