Overview of 1973 BMW 3.0 CS For Sale by Owner

The 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is one of the defining grand tourers of BMW’s classic era, combining elegant E9 coupe styling with the smooth power delivery of the company’s 3.0-liter inline-six. Showing approximately 36,319 miles, this example is finished in Polaris Silver Metallic over a Marine Blue interior and pairs its period luxury character with a 4-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience. Highlights include wood interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, and BMW multi-spoke alloy wheels, giving this 3.0 CS a strong balance of refinement, usability, and classic touring appeal.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is finished in Polaris Silver Metallic, a color that complements the E9’s low roofline, slim pillars, and long, formal coupe proportions particularly well. Chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome window surrounds, quad round headlights, and BMW’s signature kidney grille preserve the elegant appearance of the period. Front fog lights, chrome exterior mirrors, and side marker lights add further detail, while the car rides on BMW multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Continental tires. The interior of this 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is finished in Marine Blue and features the wood trim that gives the E9 cabin much of its distinctive character. Blue upholstery is complemented by wood-trimmed door panels and a wood shift knob, while front bucket seats and a rear bench provide true grand-touring accommodation. Power windows and air conditioning add useful comfort, and an aftermarket Alpine CD head unit provides updated audio while the three-spoke BMW steering wheel and full instrumentation retain the driver-focused feel of the original cockpit.

Engine

Powering this 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-six paired with dual carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels, preserving the classic BMW drivetrain layout and giving the coupe a more involved character than an automatic-equipped example. Four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, and power steering complement the smooth six-cylinder powerplant, making the 3.0 CS as much about balanced grand-touring dynamics as outright performance. With 36,319 miles and a manual gearbox, this example presents the kind of specification that should strongly appeal to enthusiasts of BMW’s early sporting coupes.
