About the BMW 2800 CS E9 #15 Team Marabout Gaye / S. Braillard 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 2800 CS E9 reproduces Team Marabout's #15 car from the 1972 24 Hours of Spa, driven by Gaye and Braillard. Diecast construction suits the E9's smooth, understated coupé lines ahead of the wilder 3.0 CSL that followed it.

Before BMW's 3.0 CSL earned its "Batmobile" reputation with flared arches and towering spoilers, the E9 coupé raced with far cleaner, more restrained bodywork.

Diecast Build of a Restrained Racing Coupé

This E9's diecast body keeps the coupé's long bonnet and understated roofline intact, a shape closer to a road car than the aerodynamic addenda later BMW touring racers carried. Team Marabout's livery and the #15 racing number are reproduced with clean tampo printing over the metal shell, and the model's stance reflects a car raced largely in period trim rather than heavily modified for outright aerodynamic advantage. That restraint is part of the E9's appeal: it looks every bit the elegant road-going coupé it was based on, even wearing full endurance racing graphics.

Gaye, Braillard and the 1972 Spa 24 Hours

Spa's 24-hour touring car race demanded reliability as much as raw speed, and BMW's E9 coupés had already built a reputation for durability across long-distance European touring car events by the early 1970s. Team Marabout's entry with Gaye and Braillard sits within that competitive era, before the CSL's more radical evolution took over BMW's factory racing programme. The E9 remains the more understated, arguably more elegant chapter of BMW's touring car story.

Alongside a later 3.0 CSL, this E9 traces BMW's touring car evolution from restrained coupé to aggressively winged racer.
