The seller offers for sale this 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi, a Dutch-delivered example of one of BMW’s most iconic grand tourers. Finished in an attractive metallic shade, the car has benefited from a previous restoration and recent maintenance work performed by Oldenzaal Classics, with supporting invoice available. The paintwork is in very good condition, though the chrome window trim could use some attention. The interior, upholstered in fabric, shows normal wear consistent with age and would benefit from a light refresh, though it remains fully usable. The engine runs smoothly, and the gearbox shifts correctly. The car starts easily, brakes and lights function properly, and it has passed its technical inspection. Rust is not reported, and the car shows no signs of prior accident damage.
The BMW 3.0 CSi, produced between 1971 and 1975, was the fuel-injected evolution of the celebrated E9 coupe series. Known for its elegant design by Karmann and its smooth inline-six engine, the CSi combined performance, style, and refinement. With 200 horsepower and a top speed near 220 km/h, it became a favourite among enthusiasts and collectors alike. The model’s timeless design and motorsport pedigree — as the basis for the legendary 3.0 CSL — make it one of the most desirable classic BMWs of its era. This well-presented, Dutch-delivered 3.0 CSi offers a fine balance between originality, drivability, and investment potential.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
