The BMW E9 series is one of those that has had one of the biggest revaluations in the past decade, yet these are complex cars. Complex and expensive to repair, both as regards the bodywork and the engine and transmission: they were the supercars of the 70s and, in fact, they had a build quality… Read More Cheap and chic: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
We rarely publish such “modern” cars but in this case we have to make an exception as it is a friend’s car, and we have personally checked the conditions in which it is (in addition to having driven it). It is worth making a premise on the 75 V6: at a superficial glance they all… Read More The black pearl/2: 1989 Alfa Romeo 75 V6 3.0 America
“Attention investors/collectors” is the title of this ad, in order to notify them that this is not a cheap classic but almost a blue chip classic car which has been priced fairly. And indeed we must admit that, if this car (chassis #2265223) is as good as it seems, it has been actually put for… Read More Investors warned: 1973 BMW 3.0 CSI
This 3.0 CS is said to have been ordered with a lot of options: power sunroof, power windows, electric antenna, leather seats and air conditioning. Last but not least, it is said to have 47k original miles. Of course, no matter how good it was cared, the paint couldn’t be the original one and indeed the… Read More Chamonix white: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
This car is actually a 3.5 litre CS because the original engine have been swapped with a later Motorsport 3.5 unit which, on top of that, is fed by a big turbocharger. All these things together are said to produce 800 hp which is an impressive power even on a modern car full of electronic… Read More 800 hp: 1972 BMW 3.0 CS Turbo
This car has not the easiest name of the world to be pronounced, but for sure is one of the streamiest lines ever made for a station wagon: Michelotti made a great work here. It’s a 1973 – fiberglass bodied – Reliant Scimitar powered by the “Essex” V6 Ford engine: 150 h.p. are enough to… Read More Sleeker is better: 1973 Reliant Scimitar GTE 3.0 SE5-A
Few of these cars are still around so, even a BMW purist could forgive some modifications done on this particular CSL. Two are the big change on this car: first, the original and rare Scheel sport seats have been replaced with a pair of more common, although FIA approved, french Oreca racing seats: this could… Read More The bimmer’s choice: 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL
Update, november 25: Ooops! Sold in few hours. Why aren’t we astonished? Ok, three BMW in a week are a lot, especially for us but this one is too tasty to let it go without few words spent on it. It’s actually a 3.0 CSL, VIN 2275038, a sport evolution of the more known CSi:… Read More Leichtwagen: 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL
We really think that after many years behind the scenes, these cars are beginning to regain the place they deserve. At last, the 3.0 coupé are elegant cars with a quite powerful inline six engine. Of course the injection model is more desired but the two cars (with and without fuel injection) are quite the… Read More Tools included: 1974 BMW 3.0 CS Coupé
