This is another fantastic find:
It is a 1972 BMW 3.0CSi coupe, these fuel injected cars are very rare this side of the Atlantic, here we had to make do with the much more pedestrian Carburated version and only a handful of the 200hp Euro versions reached these shores. These Karmann built cars are notoriously fragile and the most desirable examples are from the Italy or the South of France this particular example started life in the Italian province of Florence and is probably as solid as any example out there that has not undergone a $50,000 restoration.
While it is not perfect it is very straight and solid it looks totally rust and accident free and the paint which was not expensive was done without the need for any remedial bodywork, this car was straight and rustfree but a previous owner decided to give it a quicky paint job not a disater but the car deserved better. Other areas fared much better the interior was treated to a $9,000 redo to original spec. The carpets are better than original in the best German Weave and the Tan leather seats are spectacular the inside of this car is really beautiful.
But where this car really comes in to it's own is in the drive, it drives superbly fast and tight and is an absolute revelation about 70's BMW's. This car could be driven everyday and even the ugly steering wheel feels good. All the 4 electric windows work (slowly) and the factory fitted AC blows cold. The aftermarket and ugly stereo makes up for itself by sounding superb.
This is a full 4 seater Euro coupe that is beautiful, rare, and interesting and you don't have to be in the oil business to own it, if it was made in Zuffenhausen or Maranello instead of Bavaria it would be worth 4 times the price ..... This car has been inspected and is being sold all good with no known faults.
This is a superb and practical classic that could be used every day or gently upgraded for showing...
