This BMW E9 Coupe got away, but there are more like it here.

1973 BMW 3.0CS 4-Speed

Sold for $75,500 on 4/16/24

This 1973 BMW 3.0CS is finished in Fjord Metallic over white leather and is powered by a 3.0-liter M30 inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes dual Weber carburetors, 14″ wheels, air conditioning, a Nardi steering wheel, power windows, a power-operated antenna, Alpine speakers, and a Becker AM/FM radio. The car was delivered new to Hoffman Motors in New York and refurbished before the seller’s acquisition in 2017. It is now offered with service records, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in Fjord Metallic (37) and was repainted in 2014. Exterior features include a driver-side mirror, bright window trim, a power antenna, and chrome-finished bumpers with rubber impact strips. A 2022 service invoice notes that the wiper pump does not function properly. Close-up photos of the paint, brightwork, lenses, and glass can be found in the gallery.

Slotted 14″ alloy wheels wear polished hubcaps and are mounted with Yokohama Avid Touring S tires measuring 195/70. The car is equipped with power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The brake calipers are in need of replacement, per a 2022 service note.

The refreshed cabin houses front bucket seats and contoured rear seats retrimmed in white leather along with color-coordinated door panels and wood trim. Sisal mats line the footwells and additional amenities include a Becker Europa push-button radio, Alpine speakers, air conditioning, power windows, and a rear window defroster. An adapter for an iPhone has been routed through the glovebox. The air conditioning system was refreshed and the power window motor replaced during the refurbishment, while the window switches were replaced in 2022.

The three-spoke Nardi steering wheel fronts a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, less than 400 of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.0-liter M30 inline-six was fitted with dual Weber carburetors under current ownership and additional work included rebuilding the alternator.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

The BMW Classics certificate shows a production date of November 4, 1973, and initial delivery to Hoffman Motors in New York.
