One day, back in 2012, I was driving around Paris in my 1979 Alfa Romeo GTV when I came across a Bluefjord BMW E9 3.0 CSI.
I flashed my headlights, the person stopped, and we talked for two hours. I instantly fell in love with that car and told myself that one day I would have to own one.
However, a few years later, I was looking for a car to use every day, for me and my two daughters, and I needed something comfortable, powerful, and reliable enough to be a daily driver.
Moreover, I find that the BMW E9 has probably the most beautiful design BMW has ever produced; I can't imagine a more beautiful coupe from that era.
Since I refuse to drive a modern car, with very few exceptions, it seems to be the perfect car for me.
I began my search, reviewed classified ads, and eventually found mine (damn I should have bought ut in 2012 !).
It's a 1973 BMW E9 CSI, the same year I was born, in Bluefjord. It runs fairly well, the bodywork was redone three years ago, the engine is brand new, and for now, I'm dealing with some minor reliability issues, which you will hear about a bit later.
I'm very happy to be here; before my purchase, this forum was invaluable for thinking through and analyzing a few issues. In short, very happy to be among you, and looking forward to meeting some of you in Europe, perhaps in France, and even better, in Paris.
Have a great day, see you later.
