This E9-generation BMW 3.0 CS is a stylish and desirable classic coupe, offered from long-term ownership. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre inline-six, delivering around 134kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example is understood to have originally been an Italian-market model, which was first registered in February 1972, and has since been imported to Australia, where it has been with the seller and reportedly second owner for seven years. The odometer indicates 52,305 Kms, which the seller believes to be accurate, though this is not warranted. This E9-era 3.0 CS is finished in the refined shade of Polaris Silver, over a blue part vinyl and velour cloth-trimmed interior, featuring a black dashboard and centre console, corduroy seat inserts, woven-effect door card sections, teak wood veneer inlays, and silver-toned and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 14-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels finished in gunmetal with anodised lips, fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Equipment includes a heated rear screen, electric windows, an analogue clock, heater and ventilation controls, a wooden gear knob, and a cassette stereo. This example has been fitted with an aftermarket three-spoke Petri steering wheel. The seller notes that the cassette stereo shown in the photos is not included in the sale. The car comes with a spare wheel, and service records from Bimmertech Balgowlah. One ignition key is included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full respray in Polaris Silver (060) was carried out in 2017, there is a small blemish under the paint on the left-hand front wing, a small area of paint missing on the front edge of the bonnet, a small dent on the rear nearside top surface, the brightwork and exterior rubbers show wear, there is sun damage to the edges of the original teak wood veneer surround, a small crack on the clock face, fraying on the tops of the rear seats, and wear on the front seat bolsters. The seller notes that the rear electric windows are not working. The most recent roadworthiness test was conducted on 24 July 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The last maintenance was performed in July 2024 at an indicated 52,052 Kms by BMW specialist Bimmertech, which consisted of a steering draglink being replaced, and a wheel alignment carried out. Technicians at Bimmertech carried out an engine oil service and safety check at an indicated 52,006 Kms, which included an engine oil and filter change, the transmission and differential oils checked and adjusted, the braking and electrical systems checked, a brake fluid flush and replacement, a new nearside rear shock absorber fitted, the offside rear brake calliper lubricated to prevent seizing, and a new oil pressure switch installed. Other notable maintenance includes new brakes being fitted, the front suspension being replaced, and new tyres being fitted. This E9-generation BMW 3.0 CS is a charismatic and timelessly stylish classic coupe, offered from long-term ownership and reported to be in highly original condition. Now presented with a refined Polaris Silver finish, over luxurious blue velour cloth upholstery, and boasting sleek styling, and a dependable inline-six engine, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of classics, and an enjoyable companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
