I noticed one to as a French car and a pre 73 model….so not original as i’ve seen on the colour list that Pastellblau only was in the period 1975-1977….

I could be wrong, but the coupe posted here was a 75 model -- if someone finds the thread it will verify exactly the color and year but it definitely was a rare blue --

I am sure others will chime in, helps to be patient :)

Also, just for fun, how many Mintgrün 3.0CSs has the community seen in the US. Hint: The 3.0cs only came in that shade in 1974 and there might be a visual clue in this post.

Mintgrün and Pastellblau are rare colors as you know. There were 18 1974+ colors available and both mentioned here are specific to 1974/1975.

A total of 1,275 CSI’s were built for ‘74/‘75. If you take that number and divide it by 18 colors you get a likely max of 70 pastellblau CSI’s. In reality however, it was far from an even color spread. I think we all know that metallics like Polaris and Fjord still dominated in these years.

The true number is likely far less than 70. Even with a high water of 70, spread that number across Europe and North America. One isn’t likely to see more than two pastel CSI’s in one place - ever.

Perhaps likely to be more 2.5 variants in this color, in that time, than 3.0csi's.

The only way to leverage BMW's information is to start submitting VIN numbers (one at a time) by a bunch of different people - then compile the information. sounds like a major task ... but its just sorting out the info that they already have ... i am happy to be one of the people obtaining info.

They won’t let you do that anymore. I’m surprised they just can’t do a data dump on every vin and color

if everybody on the forum asked for a particular VIN - assigned in random ... couldn't we get the info? over a period of time - not slamming them with requests at one time. i have asked about a certain VIN previously. or am i missing something?

You won't see many E9s, but you'll see some 2002s! In some lights, it looks like my yas marina...
