Vehicle Description
This 1972 BMW 3.0CS is quite a desirable classic. It's one of the
most beloved BMW silhouettes and it's made before larger federal
bumpers. And this example is a shining, loaded, and beautifully
accurate example. So you're likely to win some awards, but since
this is an amazing driver's machine, they may never get you off the
road long enough to show it.
The E9 coupes are cherished classics because of how they
established a new kind of luxury and performance coupe. It used
less brightwork and finer details to really let a purist sheet
metal be its calling card. The well-creased style creates the same
confident and premium appearance as a tailored suit. These are a
rarity to find, and one in this condition feels like an opportunity
we don't ever see any more for under six figures. The Burgundy Red
Metallic has a beautiful glow and only light signs of responsible
enjoyment. And the body lines look terrific. That's why the
waistline trim looks like an unbroken line as it runs all the way
around the side and front of the car. Plus, this has beautiful
details, like the Hofmeister Kink highlighted by the BMW badge. And
the bright chrome bumpers hug the form nicely because this was made
before federal laws altered the design. It's the kind of car that
you'll enjoy driving, and at the same time, you'll likely kick two
cars out of the garage just to give this one the space it
deserves.
The tan leather interior has a clean and beautiful style that looks
smart against the burgundy exterior. So it's the ideal way to
showcase a car that wants to be vintage, premium, and inviting -
all in the first glance. These were-range topping cars, and so you
have premium features like power windows and a sunroof. And because
this one is meant to be a classic you can enjoy driving in modern
times, there are also well-placed upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo
with Bluetooth, and the air conditioning is running modern R134a
refrigerant. And of course, this one earns its Ultimate Driving
Machine motto from the way it engages the driver. The nicely
sculpted bucket seats, wood-rimmed steering wheel, power steering,
full gauges with large speedo/tach, and an ideally-placed stick
shift make you want to hit the open road.
BMW's famous line of inline-six engines is the bedrock of their
premium and sporting reputation, and this was the car that helped
establish it all. The 3.0-liter unit has a new set of SU carbs, and
the distributor, wires, belt, fan, and other fundamentals show
signs of investment and maintenance. It's why this coupe drives as
good as it looks. And the four-speed manual transmission puts the
power firmly in your hands. Plus, the fully-independent suspension
has been engineered to be one of the best of the era, and the grip
is always in hand with the power steering and power four-wheel disc
brake package.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the owner's
manual. The BMW E9 was in production for seven years, but you don't
see them too often. It's because they set the tone for the cars we
know today. This coupe established the feeling that gives the
modern 8-Series a tradition of power and presence. So you can
either own the original or pay more for what's riding this 3.0's
coattails. While that decision is not hard, you're not the only one
wanting such a well-presented and fun driver's coupe. So hurry up
before this one is gone. Call today!!!
