The 1975 BMW 3.0 CSi for sale belongs to BMW’s legendary E9 series, which replaced the 2000 CS in 1968. Initially introduced as the 2800 CS, the E9 featured a lengthened chassis and wheelbase to house a powerful 160-horsepower 2.8-litre straight-six engine.
By 1971, BMW had further refined the model lineup, launching both the 3.0 CS and the 3.0 CSi. The former delivered 180 PS, while the fuel-injected 3.0 CSi boasted an impressive 200 PS. Buyers could opt for a three-speed automatic transmission or, as most collectors prefer, a four-speed manual gearbox.
