There’s nothing quite like a classic Seventies BMW for some enthusiasts. After all, who wouldn’t want to see what the Ultimate Driving Machine creators were up to back then? Today’s specimen is this fine 1974 BMW 3.0 CS from Delray Beach, Florida. With just 27,088 miles on its odometer, this car features an M30 straight six driving its rear wheels via an automatic gearbox. So why not make this your next classic car – or your first classic car for that matter? Either way, it’s sure to make every drive a pleasant one.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior in Polaris Silver highlights the E9’s distinctive proportions, complemented by polished BBS RS multi-piece wheels that add a motorsport-inspired presence. Chrome bumpers, slim window trim, dual round headlights, and Hella driving lamps maintain the coupe’s classic European aesthetic. Inside, the black leather cabin features wood dashboard accents, the signature E9 gauge cluster, a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, and a floor-mounted automatic shifter. The interior layout preserves the understated and driver-focused feel that defines BMW’s early coupes while integrating subtle updates such as a modern head unit for added practicality.
Engine
Power comes from BMW’s naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-six equipped with twin Weber 32/36 carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The engine bay features upgrades such as aftermarket ignition components, an Optima battery, and enhanced cooling hardware, supporting smooth and responsive operation. Long-tube headers feed into a freer-flowing exhaust, while the E9’s independent front suspension and rear semi-trailing arm layout provide the balanced handling expected of this chassis. With its combination of refined mechanical character and period-correct enhancements, this 3.0 CS offers a rewarding grand-touring experience rooted in BMW’s classic engineering approach.
