LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1974 BMW 3.0CSi
The E9 coupe, as it is known today by its internal designation, has become a highly sought-after car that is essentially the post-war standard for an elegant coupe. In 1972, BMW bored out the six to a nominal displacement of three liters and added rear disc brakes, at which point the car became known as the 3.0CS. The Bosch D-Jetronic injected version became the 3.0CSi and a lightweight version was known as the 3.0CSL. The latter was a highly successful European Touring Car racer in the mid-1970s. Neither of the latter two cars were officially imported into the U.S. Gray market examples abound. The last two model years in the U.S. were afflicted with large and unsightly bumpers.
This lovely 1974 was delivered new on June 21st, 1974 to the original selling dealer Bavaria Societa Importazioni e Vendite S.p.A in Verona, Italy. This example has been very nicely restored in the attractive factory Baikal Blue Metallic with a Tan leather interior. It still retains its numbers matching 3.0L six cylinder engine with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. This E9 coupe was subject to a restoration by a marque expert. The whole car was completely disassembled and stripped to a bare shell. The beautiful Baikal Blue Metallic was painted in base/clear and then wet sanded and polished to a show quality luster. Open the hood and the level of detail is incredible with all the engine components refinished in their factory coatings. The interior has been well re-done with reproduction seat covers, carpet and headliner. A Nardi steering wheel was added and looks tasteful in the cockpit. The standard wheels have been replaced with Alpina items, which we feel really lend themselves to the sporting nature of this 70s GT car.
This amazing E9 coupe is a timeless design with a fantastic restoration in attractive colors. Included in the sale is a copy of the BMW Classic Certificate which documents how it was delivered. Along with the styling, these are amazing cars to use and enjoy!

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
