About the Car
In 1968 BMW introduced the E9 with a regular 2.8 L carburetor engine. In 1971 they produced two versions based on the same bodywork. The CSi had a fuel injection system, that was not common at that time. William Hofmeister signed the car’s design and created a unique shape for the C-pillar. The car had an inline-six engine supplied by a Bosch D-Jetronic injection system. It had 200 hp, rear wheel drive with a four-speed manual transmission.

About the Manufacturer
Minichamps was founded in 1990 as a die-cast car producer in Aachen, Germany under the name of Paul’s Model Art GmbH. The original company was the Danhausen, a trade company that made 1:43 scale models and sold them over the counter and mail order. From 1971 to 1993 the company published the famous Danhausen World Model Car Book. Danhausen was owned by the grandsons of Emma Danhausen – Hans Peter and Paul Gunter Lang. There was a dispute between the brothers in the late 1980’s. That is when Paul formed the Paul’s Model Art. Diecast models were made more for the adult clientele and holding their value was a big question that needed to be answered. Minichamps’ excellent quality has been noticed by Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Opel, and BMW.
