Ronnie Fieg Rebuilds Two Classic BMWs in Archival Inka Orange for Kith's 15th Anniversary
In honor of Kith's 15th anniversary, founder Ronnie Fieg has meticulously restored two iconic BMW coupes: the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi E9 and the 1987 BMW M6 E24, both adorned in Inka Orange. This marks Kith's fourth partnership with BMW, following previous collaborations in Cinnabar Red, Vitality Green, and Techno Violet. The 3.0 CSi has been fully restored using original parts, featuring the M30 engine and caramel leather embellished with Kith's monogram. Similarly, the M6 was refurbished around its S38 engine, incorporating rebuilt components and OEM BBS wheels. Both vehicles exemplify the evolution of BMW coupe design and will be part of the Kith for BMW 2026 collection, set to launch globally on August 17th. Fieg describes this initiative as a fusion of restoration and color exploration.
