The E9

By fletch Monday, August 3rd, 2009

On the way back from cambridge this weekend we did “a big shop” at Waitrose as I think I mentioned and whilst looking for a parking space came across this brilliant bastard!! It took me zero time to park next to it and the owner was already out and checking out the six as I put the handbrake on.

A bit of beamer bumlove follows, sorry.

It’s a BMW 3.0 CSL or more often than not “a batmobile”. It looks like the mutts nuts and the guy who owned it also has a Z1 *and* and E39 M5 as his daily driver. Not a bad thing to aim for.. I mean you would if you could eh?

The 635 that I’ve got is what replaced the 3.0CSL after ’75 when they stopped making them so it was nice to see them together. We had a good old moan about the new shaped six and then went about our shopping.

Like any car you actually own tho, you still fancy the others, he was quite keen on the fletchmobile, extolling its virtues and despite quite clearly (and rightly I think :( ) preferring his own car, was lamenting some of the technology it used which is now well over 30 years old.

Awesome fucking motor, has inspired me to take the six in for a service and sort out the niggles it’s got left, next stop MONTE CARLO!
