I believe they're all gray market? Never officially imported or whatever.

No they were sold here. I think most of them have just rusted into nothingness. Get a csi, the dual carbs on the non-injected cars are a bitch, I know the kungelficscher (sp? I know) injection is a pita as well.

E9s are the only cars I desire more than euro E24s.

Only BMW I'd get rid of my 2002 for.

They look great, but man good luck finding one in good condition. That's why I've been looking at 635s...

3.0...There is one in front of the shop that can be had for pretty cheap but it is really rough...

Major, major project.

Saw one in person a few weeks back the C pillar is awesome!

We had a beautiful, completely original one with 35,000 miles on it for a few months in the spring. Took forever to get new parts from Germany but huge props to BMW for still producing parts on a car that old!

E9's, hands down are in my top 5. Too bad they are also in Rust's top 5.

When did this bit of motivation start? There was one on the local CL not too long ago ('85 I think). Bronze/gold metalic but it was a 5 speed.

As for the E9s - probably BMWs best looking coupe....ever. As mentioned previously in this thread, if you were to ever consider one, get it thoroughly inspected first. Restoring one should be viewed as a labor of love, not a money making venture. You'll probably need to take a 2nd out on the house to fund it.
