About the BMW 2800 CS E9 #49 Team Schnitzer G. Herzog / H. Heyer 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 2800 CS E9 #49 reproduces Team Schnitzer's entry driven by G. Herzog and H. Heyer at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa. Elegant coupe bodywork carries the correct endurance-race livery, distinct from Schnitzer's Nurburgring-winning #2 sister car.

Schnitzer rarely limited itself to a single event or a single livery, and the Spa 24 Hours gave the team another stage to prove the E9's endurance credentials.

A Second Schnitzer Livery Built for Endurance Racing

This #49 entry carries different sponsor markings and race-number placement from Schnitzer's Nurburgring-winning car, reflecting the reality that endurance-focused liveries often differed from sprint-race presentation even within the same team and season. Minichamps holds the E9's long, elegant coupe lines with genuine confidence, and the touring car's widened arches and correctly proportioned wheels come through clearly under direct light. Panel gaps stay tight along the doors and boot, and the zinc alloy build gives the coupe real weight, appropriate for a car built to survive a full day and night of racing at Spa rather than a single short sprint.

Herzog, Heyer and Schnitzer's Continued Spa Effort

G. Herzog and H. Heyer shared this #49 car during the demanding 1972 24 Hours of Spa, part of Team Schnitzer's broader commitment to European touring car endurance racing that season. Heyer's presence in both this car and Schnitzer's Nurburgring winner shows how driver line-ups moved across a team's entries within a single season, a detail that rewards close research for collectors building a documented Schnitzer display.

Expanding a Documented Schnitzer Collection

Paired with the Nurburgring-winning #2 car, this #49 Spa entry rounds out a genuinely researched picture of Team Schnitzer's 1972 season.
