About the BMW 2800 CS E9 #2 Team Schnitzer J. Fitzpatrick / H. Heyer Winners Grand Prix Touring Cars Nurburgring 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #2 Team Schnitzer BMW 2800 CS E9, driven to victory by John Fitzpatrick and Hans Heyer at the 1972 Nürburgring Grand Prix Touring Cars race. Diecast construction with the Schnitzer livery documents a genuine period racing win.

Team Schnitzer's partnership with BMW produced winning touring cars for decades, and this 2800 CS victory at the Nürburgring is an early example of exactly that formula working.

Minichamps' Diecast Build on the Winning Schnitzer CS

The E9 coupe's long, elegant roofline, distinct from BMW's boxier sedans of the same period, is reproduced in weighted zinc-alloy diecast with the Schnitzer racing livery applied in crisp tampo print. Doors open onto a cabin fitted with a roll cage and racing seats, and the #2 number reflects the car's status as a lead entry rather than a backup effort. Wheel and tire proportions match the wider racing rubber the period touring car would have run.

John Fitzpatrick, Hans Heyer, and a Schnitzer Victory

Team Schnitzer built its reputation as one of BMW's most successful motorsport partners across decades of touring car racing, a relationship that would later formalize into BMW Motorsport's own works touring program. John Fitzpatrick and Hans Heyer, both established touring car specialists of the era, drove this 2800 CS to victory at the Nürburgring's Grand Prix Touring Cars event in 1972, a genuine result rather than a mere participation entry.

Displaying a Documented Race Winner

This #2 Schnitzer CS anchors a Group Racing Historic shelf as a confirmed winning entry, a stronger centerpiece than an unplaced car and a natural pairing with other early-1970s BMW touring car liveries.
