This 1975 BMW 3.0CS is a European-market example that was reportedly exported from Germany to Colombia in 1975, where it was acquired by the seller’s spouse in 2010 and subsequently refurbished before being imported to the US in 2020.

This 1975 BMW 3.0CS is a European-market example that was reportedly exported from Germany to Colombia in 1975, where it was acquired by the seller’s spouse in 2010 and subsequently refurbished before being imported to the US in 2020. The car was refinished in orange over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes chrome bumpers and trim, 14″ alloy wheels, Bilstein dampers, an Alpina steering wheel, a period AM/FM radio, and power windows.
The Karmann-built body was finished from the factory in red and was repainted in its current orange during refurbishment. Exterior features include quad headlights, chrome bumpers and trim, and a pillarless roofline.
Silver-finished 14″ turbine-style wheels wear Alpina center caps and are mounted with 195/70 Michelin Energy XM2 tires showing 2016 date codes. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the car rides on front and rear independent suspension with Bilstein dampers.
The cabin features black vinyl upholstery with charcoal carpeting and wood trim on the dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes German-language controls, a period AM/FM radio, power windows, and front bucket seats.
A leather-wrapped Alpina/Momo steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation that was replaced during refurbishment and includes a 240-kph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 2,200 kilometers (~1,400 miles).
The 3.0-liter M30 inline-six features dual downdraft carburetors that were reportedly refurbished in March 2021. Additional service included an oil change, replacement of the distributor cap and rotor, and installation of a rebuilt alternator.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
