Searching for a classic BMW but the 2002 isn't your cup of tea?
MotoeXotica Classic Cars has a solution for you as it gladly
presents this European-spec 1972 BMW 3.0 CS Coupe. Under the hood
is BMW's 177HP M30 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine with twin
carburetors hooked to a Getrag four-speed manual transmission.
Dressed in Chamonix White paint has some minor blemishes on the
A-pillars and the nose has some discoloration underneath the chrome
trim and a few small blemishes but is solid overall. The car's
windows are in good order, intact and with no haze. All of the
lights are present and crack-free. Car rolls on BMW five-slot
wheels wrapped in Firestone Affinity tires, 195/70R14. All of the
body panels are straight, the engine bay, with its rebuilt carbs
and powder-coated intake manifold, is tidy and the battery looks
new. Car also has a nearly complete toolkit on underside of trunk
lid. Chrome trim looks bright, and the bumpers look to be in good
condition. Exterior rubber on the window seals and bumper trim was
likely replaced in the past. Inside, this E9 comes with European
Market blue cloth seats that are in very good condition. The large
and wide front buckets are comfortable and the metal hardware on
the sides glistens in the sunlight. The wood inlays at the front
edges of both doors display lacquer blemishes but the carpet is in
good condition, as are the headliner, steering wheel, shift lever
and center console. Car has manual windows in front but power
windows in the rear. The dash is original but has a hairline-sized
crack near the driver's A-pillar. A JVC AM/FM stereo with
detachable faceplate and Pioneer and Sony speakers round out the
interior. Driver assist features include power windows. This car
was delivered from the Munich factory to BMW Ditting in
Ludwigsburg, Germany in October of 1971. A man in Medford, Oregon,
owned this car from April 2013 until July of that year when he sold
it to a man in Van Nuys, California. In January of 2014, the
California owner had the car painted white. In December 2014, he
ordered various trim pieces for the car. The current owner from
Porter Ranch, California�purchased this four-speed manual car in
early 2015 and had it inspected and serviced by the BMW specialists
at Bavaria Auto Repair in Sun Valley, California.�After a thorough
inspection, the owner had the center steering link, the drive shaft
center support, drive shaft and an exhaust gasket replaced (undated
ticket). In February 2015, he ordered additional trim pieces. In
March 2015, he had the engine oil and filter changed plus the
transmission and rear differential serviced. The previous owner
cannot confirm the duration of time the vehicle has been in
California as previous ownership history is unknown, however the
BAR sticker on the door jamb suggests it has been in the state for
quite some time. The�BMW New Six CS�(internal name�BMW E9) is a
two-door�coup�built for�BMW�by�Karmann�from 1968 to 1975. It was
developed from the�New Class-based BMW 2000 CS�coup�, which was
enlarged to hold the�BMW M30�straight-6�engine used in
the�E3�sedan. The 3.0 CS and CSi replaced the 2800CS in 1971. The
engine had been bored out to give a displacement of 2,986�cc and
was offered with a 9.0:1 compression ratio, twin carburetors and
180 horsepower at 6000 revolutions per minute in the 3.0 CS.�There
were four-speed manual and automatic transmission�variants.
Competitors to this BMW 3.0 CS in 1972 included Cadillac's
Eldorado, Lincoln's Continental Mark IV, Citroen SM, Mercedes-Benz
450 SL, Jensen Interceptor and Jaguar XKE Series III V-12. Car
comes with an owner's handbook that still has its shrink wrap
intact plus assorted service tickets. This car is currently located
at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 85,896 kilometers, or 53,380 miles. It is sold as
is, where is, on a clean and clear, California title. GET OUT AND
