BMW 3.0CS '75

The BMW Nex Six Series (internal code E9) were two-door coupés built by Karmann from 1968 to 1975. It was developed from the New-Class based 2000 CS coupé, which was enlarged to hold the BMW M30 inline-six engine used in the E3 sedan.

The 2800CS was replaced by the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi in 1971. The engine had been bored out to give a displacement of 2,986 cc (182.2 cu in), with twin carburettors, or a Bosch D-Jetronic.  There was a 4 speed manual and an automatic transmission.
