Our vendor purchased this example in 2009 after previously owning a regular E31 8 series, as the CSi was always his dream car. He used the car for annual road trips across Europe, as far as Romania and everywhere inbetween and cared for the car meticulously. This CSi is presented in one of the best colours, Oxford Green Metallic, and boasts an impressive maintenance history, despite being laid up for some years. Notable invoices include the upgrade to Bilstein shock absorbers, along with suspension bushes and front and rear top mounts in 2013, just 5,000 miles ago. The car will clearly need some recommissioning, but it does run and looks to be in pretty good condition overall, it has been off the road for around ten years now after some small work turned into a few years as our vendor kept getting posted to countries with left hand drive cars and he couldn't take the CSi with him. The decision has been made to sell this CSi and let the next enthusiast return it to its former glory, we think this is an extremely exciting and worthwhile project for one of BMW's most impressive cars and one which is adored by collectors due to its extremely low build numbers. HowManyLeft only has a record of 31 CSi's currently registered in the UK, with a further 84 examples SORN.
The car is supplied to auction with a V5 registration document, an impressive service record showing regular maintenance throughout its life, with a well respected E31 specialist since 2009, until being taken off the road around 2015. There is also a bill from 2021 for an oil change, two new batteries and AC condenser and various other small jobs, as well as a recent bill for replacement of the fuel pumps.
