There are few cars as iconic with as loyal of a following as the BMW E9.
Making its debut in 1968, the classic BMW made a name for itself on the touring car race track. It all started with a Karmann body fitted with a 2,788-cc inline-six but progressed in 1971, making the 3.0CS the most powerful E9 up to that point.
This 1974 BMW 3.0CS being offered on Bring a Trailer is a prime example of why the model is so loved. Powering the car is a M30 3.0-liter inline-six with dual carburetors that sent through an automatic transmission that it was equipped with off the assembly line.
