Here is a very nice solid 1973 BMW 3.0CS which is in an excellent condition for it's age given that it has not been restored.
It is currently part of a collection since it was originally owned by Michael Douglas for the first 35 years of it's life in California.
After almost 2 years of ownership I'm ready to find it a new home. It has been an absolute joy to own. Turns heads everywhere I go. The exhaust note under acceleration is just amazing.
Its has Malaga exterior with a Natural Brown (Butter-scotch) interior. I know this car spent some time at coupe king around 2004 and some of the pieces were re-dyed. The carpet, back side of the leather, door panels and plastics all match this color so I believe it is original. It is a 4 speed car. Non sunroof. Clean title.
Upgrades to the car
Pertronix pointless ignition setup, new cap, rotor, wires, and plugs.New sport springs to replace the sagging factory springs with Bilstein shocks. Webber carburator upgrade. It does have an older upgraded stereo system that I'm not crazy about.
I do have an accurate account of all of the previous owners. I have the paperwork to prove it with color copy of the Pink Slip (California Title) from Michael Douglas' ownership.
I have all service records from the previous owners. I do not have accounts of any accident history. Previous owner informed me of one repair on the right front fender where the Emergency-brake was not engaged correctly and did the car rolled and gently slid into a nearby light post while he was in the store. This required a small repair to the right front fender and respray. When I purchased the car I inspected the complete chassis and hidden areas for signs of rust and previous accident repairs. I have photo documentation attached of the problem areas that I found. The rest of the car looked solid. All under-body areas that had surface stains were cleaned, rust preventative used and then painted. In the quarter panels and front areas there are no rust and also the case with fender wells as pictured. I used a product that helps prevent any future issues. I didn't see any issues when using a bore scope and looking in the panels. This was just for my piece of mind.
I have a lift available for you to inspect the vehicle if you wish to do so. Please review the pictures and contact me with any questions.
Its a great running and driving car. Just wrapped up a 45 mile drive. This is a driver and a perfect candidate for a complete restoration. I have used it for my round trip 50 mile commute for a couple weeks after I sorted the car Just to make sure it continues to be a reliable car. Does not overheat. She will be missed.
