  • 1972 bmw 3.0cs

    The car came from the factory as an automatic and in the color Ceylon - an acquired taste. A previous owner had it painted a factory blue color and gave it a 4 speed manual transmission. The engine has triple Weber 45's (yes 45's), a Schrick cam,headers, fan clutch upgrade, and vented rotors. Also, there is a Momo Prototipo and an old school 4 point harness. I think it has H4's - at least for the low beams. I think it has a limited slip dif in it - when I had the car on a lift and spun one rear wheel they both went forward. I think the car sits fairly low - not sure if the suspension has been upgraded, but I would imagine it has. I am pretty sure that the U.S. spacers have been removed. The car runs and drives. The Webers sound really good when you put your foot down. I took a picture of the head, so you can see how clean it is. All that being said, this car has needs. First and foremost, it has rust in the typical places. So, you might as well stop reading right now if you can't handle rust. The rust is in the front floor pans, the rockers and the tops of the fenders where they meet in the engine compartment. There are a few small spots under the paint, as well as some dings and chips, but the car is presentable. You wouldn't be embarrassed to drive it to your local cars and coffee as I have done several times. I am just going to bullet point the other things that need to be done - as many of them as I can remember.
    Odometer does not work
    Front seats need recovering
    No dip switch
    Under dash panels need to be put back on (I have some if not all of the pieces)
    I think the electric fuel pump might need replacing as it gets loud sometimes
    Driver's side rear window doesn't work, passenger's rear slow and squeaky
    stitching has come undone on one of the rear seats
    dash has cracks
    dent on front underbelly
    air conditioning is there but not hooked up (for you girly men) :P
    need some new muffler clamps
    rear rotors should be replaced
    horn doesn't work
    Could probably use a tune - but the car starts right up everytime, so I'm not going to dare mess with those Webers.

    Now, if I haven't scared you off, there are a bunch of parts that come with the car:
    New front seat covers from World Upholstery $600
    2 front strut assemblies - $500..?
    CSL rear subframe with limited slip diff - $500
    Spare set of glass excluding the vent windows - $$$
    Front bumper and extra bumper pieces - $500
    CSL repro dash - $500
    Spare gauge cluster
    Supplemental VDO gauges for the CSL dash?
    Fiberglass front spoiler (made for a CS, but looks like a 6 series one. See on coupeguy.com) - $440
    Hella horns
    3 tail lights
    One of the original carbs and a rebuild kit
    I think a brake mater cylinder rebuild kit
    Turn signal switch with stalk (look new?)
    Pair of door trim pieces where the door shuts and the strikers attach -cover from the top of the door to the rocker ( don't know its proper name)
    I may have another set of wheels like the ones on the Bavaria in the picture.
    So, maybe $4k in parts?

    I have about 25 pictures I can send. I didn't feel like resizing them all.
    Thanks for looking!


    I would love anybody interested to come have a look and a drive.

    Asking $11,000 with all the parts. Might be interested in a trade plus cash on your end, but it would have to be something interesting.
