About This 1973 BMW 3.0

Posted: 22 Aug 2014

E9 Coupé Chassis No. 2240520 Engine No. 538239 · Very Original Example in Attractive Malaga Final Year of Production With Smaller Bumper · 1 of only 450 USA Models Produced · Features Factory Sunroof, Air Conditioning, and Manual Transmission · BMW's Answer to the Porsche 911 · Recognized in the E9 BMW 3.0CS Registry · Collector Owned Offered with Books and Tools

I have owned this 3.0CS for about 4 ½ years. It was discovered in a garage of a Houston mansion and was then brokered to me. It is very structurally sound and has an original undercarriage but there is a couple of paint flaws and bubbling on the bottom corner of the driver side front fender (pictured). Other than that it has always been a reliable driver for me, starting on the first crank and never smoking.

The engine has always been reliable and my mechanic just performed a compression test which showed an average of 150 PSI per cylinder while cold. The A/C blows but not cold, I have never had the sunroof open it is jammed and I've never attempted to repair it as it didn't make a difference to me. Someone told me it might be a broken cable. Also the passenger window does not go up and down all the way and the odometer has never worked in my ownership. I have performed a good of service and cosmetic work including: Complete new carpet set, new rubbers seals, all fluids and plugs, as well as new shifter bushings. It has factory correct Recaro sport seats, Alpina Steering wheels, and bumper mounted driving lights.
