An enlarged version of the 2000 CS, the E9 coupe debuted in 1968. Despite BMW quitting touring car racing as a factory effort at the end of the 1969 season, privateers adopted and continued to develop the model. Making its first appearance at the 1969 Spa 24 Hours, the E9 CS showed its potential when an Alpina version went on to finish a creditable 9th overall. Alpina would go on to achieve a number of successes the following year, contesting the European Touring Car Championship together with selected rounds of the German Championship, whilst facing stiff opposition from the likes of Alfa Romeo and Ford. In 1971, Schnitzer joined the fray, but Ford's domination of the category that year resulted in only one win for the team at Zandvoort.
Finished in Alpina Castrol colours, this left hand drive coupe features an original shell with 1971 Group 2 bodywork. Displacing 3000 cc driving through a four-speed gearbox, its specification includes an FIA six point welded in roll cage, Corbeau Sprint race seat and six point harness. New GAZ adjustable suspension has recently been fitted and the car rides on rare 14" Gotti wheels to the rear with 14" Rials to the front. Resident in Germany for most of its life, where it was used as a hillclimb / circuit racer in the 1970s, it was imported to the UK in 2013 and comes with a copy of the old German registration document and a Swansea V5C. Described as having "good" paintwork, bodywork, engine and gearbox, VDA 107H, currently on SORN, offers a great deal of potential and should be eligible for a number of historic racing series subject to complying with existing regulations.
