• style icon from BMW with racing genes from the successful BMW touring car era of the 1970s

Our favourites

The elegant CS coupés are among the milestones from BMW - not at least - because of their fantastic silky smooth six-cylinder engine and the very elegant design. The bodies were built between 1968 and 1975 by BMW at the Karmann company and then transported to Munich for completion.

The first models were the 2800 CS, followed by the 3.0 CS as carburettor versions. At the end pf 1971, the first petrol injection model variant was added, the 3.0 CSI.

The Scuderia Sportiva Colonia has paid special attention to these technically sophisticated coupés. The gorgeous shape, the excellent chassis, the very good brakes and the powerful engine were the measure of all things - at the beginning of the 70s. The interior spoils the owner with luxurious materials, the seats are comfortable with acceptable lateral support and the individually framed VDO round instruments are still a feast for the eyes. A very comfortable sports car to see and be seen with unmistakable DNA from its very successful touring car history.

The legendary and very sporty CSL "lightweight" variants - which were originally only intended for racing use - also belong to the delivery program of the Scuderia Sportiva Colonia.

our mission

We have already been able to prepare well over 100 BMW E9 coupés in the course of our existence. In general, the Karmann body is the weak point of these magnificent coupés. The filigree sheet metal dress was elaborately welded in Rheine (Germany) and, after completion, was taken unprotected on trains across Germany to Munich for completion. End of the 1970ties the first rust-eaten E9s disappeared on the scrap yards.

When purchasing, we distinguish between substantially very good and those that require a complete restoration.

We sometimes find very good vehicles from collectors' hands, or from sunny Italy, Spain or southern France, where wintry road conditions were a rarity. Before delivery, we subject the good used vehicles to an extensive 154-point inspection and service check that we developed on request.

Most of the time, however, barn finds come to us from repairs that have been started or broken off. We then subject these BMWs to a complete restoration. No screw is left untouched here and the vehicle is completely disassembled and rebuilt. We work with the leading European body shops who are proven experts in the field of BMW coupes. Then they are completed in our house. We are responsible for the technology, such as engine and transmission overhaul, electrics, chassis and optimization, brakes, wheel sets and exhaust systems. The new owner can expect a perfectly restored BMW E9 after completion and upon delivery. Individual special requests of the end customer can be taken into account during the restoration, such as changing the exterior paintwork, material and color selection of the interior, chassis optimization, installation of a 5-speed gearbox, various wheel sets 14" and 16" Alpina, FPS, Mahle, BBS or similar.

In addition, we are very proud that we were able to look after three of the eight original BMW Dreschel Cabriolets ever built in our company.

Scuderia Sportiva Colonia sees itself as your partner for BMW CS vehicles. We also offer service and procurement of spare parts.
