BMW's so called 'new class' compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. Introduced in 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS Coupes featured distinctive-looking Karmann-built bodies and luxurious interiors and, having set a trend, were superseded in 1968 by the first of the E9 Coupes - the 2800CS. The length and wheelbase of the newcomer were extended to accommodate the 2788cc straight-six engine from the E3 Saloon, and the nose of the Karmann monocoque body was restyled to echo that of its four-door sibling.

The fully independent suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. Braking was still by disc/drums and the steering by a power-assisted ball and nut system. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc. In CS guise, the silky-smooth six-cylinder engine had an output of 180bhp, which was sufficient to rush the handsome Coupe to 60mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 120mph. The average fuel consumption was quoted as 21mpg.

In current family ownership for some 40 years, the 3.0 CS has been owned by the vendor and his brother since 1983. Supplied new by Lazenby Garages Ltd, Leicestershire in 1972, it is understood to have covered the displayed c.116,000 miles since 1972.

The 3.0 CS presents as an older restoration that was initiated by the vendor and carried out c.1987 at their chosen garage, at a total cost of £6,444.45 (over £17,500 today) and included £3,400 in labour, £2,561.50 for parts, £482.95 in paint and a detail of the paint once complete. Although 37 years have passed, it is worth noting the extent of the 1987 restoration work included new metal and new panels where necessary. This included inner wings, a front panel, headlamp back panels, floor pans, inner sills, inner wheel arches, the rear bulkhead, attention paid to the axle mounts and shock absorber turret tops, rear quarter panels, rear lower valance panel, new door skins and the use of Waxoyl in cavities and stone-chip applied to vulnerable areas. The restoration concluded with a paint in the original colour, believed to be Polaris Silver Metallic. The original service book is included along with original green logbook, period BMW Europa service station map, Haynes manual and various service information, a collection of invoices dating back to the 1980s, a collection of MOTs back to the 1980s and a garage prepared description of work done. The 3.0 CS is offered with the original service book and an original old green logbook on file and current V5C on file.
