THE MODEL
The 1972 BMW 3.0CS is a classic icon of BMW's E9 coupe series, blending elegant design with impressive performance. Featuring a sleek, pillarless profile and flowing lines, the 3.0CS was a hallmark of 1970s European luxury sports cars. Powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six engine, it delivered smooth, spirited performance, complemented by precise handling and a balanced rear-wheel-drive chassis. The interior offered a driver-focused layout, with premium materials like wood trim and plush upholstery that exuded sophistication. Known for its motorsport heritage, the 3.0CS helped establish BMW's reputation as a maker of both luxury and performance vehicles, making it a beloved choice among enthusiasts to this day.
