This 1974 BMW 3.0CS is a striking example of one of BMW's most elegant grand touring coupes, blending timeless design with engaging performance. Imported from Germany to Georgia in 2020, this car retains the unmistakable European character that made the E9 chassis a design icon. Its long hood, frameless windows, and delicate chrome trim showcase BMW's golden-era craftsmanship, making the 3.0CS as visually captivating today as it was when new.
Finished in its factory-correct Inka Orange, the exterior presents with bold period flair that perfectly complements the coupe's sweeping lines. The vibrant paint is contrasted by a classic black interior, creating a timeless and purposeful color combination. Upgraded BBS wheels add a subtle motorsport influence while remaining true to the car's vintage aesthetic, enhancing both stance and presence without detracting from originality.
Power comes from BMW's legendary 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain delivers smooth, responsive power and an engaging driving experience that defined BMW's reputation in the 1970s. The 3.0CS is renowned for its balance and road manners, offering a refined yet involving grand touring feel that rewards spirited driving as much as relaxed cruising.
Inside, the cabin reflects classic BMW design with driver-focused ergonomics and clean, understated styling. The black interior remains true to the car's original character, while a tastefully upgraded stereo system adds modern usability. Included with the car are a complete tool kit and a BMW Classic Certificate, underscoring its authenticity and collectible appeal.
With just 28,000 kilometers (approximately 17,000 miles) shown, this 3.0CS presents as a well-preserved example. Recent service completed in December 2025, including an oil change, power steering service, and fuel pump replacement, ensures the car is mechanically sorted and ready to be enjoyed. This BMW 3.0CS represents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully styled, low-mileage classic that embodies the elegance and engineering excellence of BMW's storied past.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
