While modern BMWs prioritize presence over elegance, this 1974 3.0CSi Coupe harkens back to when BMW's hits were defined by sweet inline-sixes.
This stunning 3.0CSi has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration by Oldenzaal Classics, a vintage BMW specialist.
The long-nosed E9 coupe shape is automotive perfection. This example wears its original Golf Yellow paint and sits on classic multi-spoke 14-inch wheels.
The CSi designation denotes the fuel-injected 3.0-liter inline-six making a healthy 200 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission in this car.
Delightful period touches include the wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, lack of ugly US-spec bumpers.
The extreme lengths taken in the restoration are documented by an official BMW Classics certificate validating the work performed.
While highly valuable, this 3.0CSi was restored to be driven thanks to its strong mechanicals and functional A/C system
