About the BMW 3.0 CSi E9 Blue Metallic AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW 3.0 CSi E9 reproduces the 1972 grand tourer in blue metallic, with opening doors, bonnet and boot. Genuine zinc weight and interior access suit a classic BMW or 1970s grand tourer collection.

The E9 coupe carried BMW into serious touring car racing while remaining a genuinely elegant road car, and AUTOart's diecast treatment gives it the handling weight a landmark grand tourer deserves.

Diecast Weight and Genuine Period Detailing

Zinc alloy construction gives the E9 real substance in the hand, and the doors, bonnet and boot all open to reveal a period-accurate cabin and the straight-six engine that powered the coupe's road and racing careers. Panel gaps sit a touch wider than a sealed resin body would allow, an honest cost of the working hinges, but each door and the long bonnet settle convincingly rather than swinging freely. The blue metallic paint carries a genuine depth under direct light, flattering the E9's long, low roofline and subtle wheel arch flares.

A Grand Tourer with Genuine Racing Pedigree

The E9's racing variants achieved real success in European touring car competition, giving this road-going coupe genuine motorsport credibility beyond its elegant styling. Displayed alongside period Mercedes or Jaguar grand tourers, it demonstrates BMW's growing confidence during the 1970s. With honest diecast weight and real opening features, it rewards handling as much as viewing on any classic grand tourer shelf.
