*BMW 3.0 CS – A Grand Tourer with a Sporting Soul
*
The BMW 3.0 CS is more than just a stylish coupé. It’s where German precision meets a golden era—when design, engineering, and driving pleasure were still inseparable.

This stunning 1973 3.0 CS is a textbook example of what a classic BMW should be: timeless, powerful, beautifully balanced, and meticulously restored down to the last detail. This isn’t a car with a superficial refresh. This is the rare case of a restoration done right—inside and out.


*A True Restoration, Not Just a Buzzword
*
In a world where the word "restored" is often used too loosely, this BMW stands as a shining example of how it should be done. This 3.0 CS has undergone a full bare-metal restoration—stripped to the shell and carefully rebuilt from the ground up. The mechanicals were comprehensively overhauled, and the entire process is documented in hundreds of detailed photos. This is restoration, spelled in all caps.

– Professionally repainted in an elegant, timeless grey that perfectly complements the rich blue leather interior
– Impeccably straight bodywork, with beautifully polished chrome, clean alloy wheels, and authentic period-correct details


*A World-Class Interior
*
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a rich blue interior—complete with matching high-quality carpets. Everything feels right, from the supple grain of the leather to the classic wood trim across the dash. The quality of the restoration is immediately apparent—and if it isn’t, the photos on our site will convince you. A factory-style sliding sunroof adds to the sense of light and luxury inside the cabin.


*Mechanical Excellence
*
Under the hood lives BMW’s legendary 2,986cc inline-six, the revered M30 engine. Known for its silky smoothness, instant response, and ample power, this unit is a true joy to drive. The engine bay is presented exactly as it should be: clean, correct, and detailed to a factory-fresh standard, complete with original stickers, plates, and finishes.

– Equipped with four-wheel disc brakes—a major leap over the earlier 2800 CS
– Balanced and composed, with a chassis tuned for that unmistakable Freude am Fahren BMW is famous for


*A Champion in a Suit
*
The 3.0 CS was born from the now-legendary E9 platform, a chassis that earned its stripes on racetracks across the globe. Think class wins at Le Mans, Spa, and Daytona. This car would eventually lay the foundation for the mythical 3.0 CSL—cementing BMW’s reputation in the world of international motorsport.


*Why This 3.0 CS Stands Out
*
– Rare, high-level restoration: Bare-metal, body-off, with full mechanical overhaul
– Documented history: Complete photo file and restoration dossier included
– Stunning spec: Understated grey over deep blue leather—sophisticated and timeless
– Driving experience as it was meant to be: Agile, responsive, and beautifully balanced
