This 1972 example of the BMW 3.0 CS sold through RM Sotheby's this year for $84,000.
This interior has been fully restored as part of a comprehensive restoration done over 16 years.
The car is fit with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that delivers about 180 hp and allows for a top speed of around 130 mph.
The BMW 3.0 CS exudes a refined understatement with lines that are emphatic yet simple, with subtle contours enhanced by delicate A and C pillars.
Overall, the proportions of the BMW 3.0 CS are perfectly balanced and harmonious in a way few car designs have equaled.
Many BMW enthusiasts would rightly argue that the elegant 3.0 CS represents BMW's most beautiful design, and is one of the most rewarding "old" models to drive.
Because many examples have seen "improvements" made by prior stewards over the years, would-be owners will have to decide whether a factory-stock or a modified car is to their taste.
That the BMW 3.0 CS was made to be a superb daily driver in its day makes it a top choice for collectors looking for a comfortable, reliable, and beautiful classic that only seems to get better with age.
