Purchased new in San Francisco, Ca, I acquired the car from the second owner in Mesquite, Texas in 2017. This 1974 BMW 3.0CS 5-speed has undergone a comprehensive 4-year cosmetic refurbishment that was completed in February 2026, including a bare metal (zero rust) repaint in Nachtblau and a complete refresh of the interior in a ‘Gobe-colored’ leatherette, carpeting, new CoCo mats, a newly refreshed dash from JustDashes and wood refurbishment by Madeira Concepts.

An e28 five-speed manual transmission was installed in place of the factory 4-speed, and the Zenith’s removed and Weber carburetors added and rebuilt in 2024. European chrome bumpers were also fitted to the car. I have has retrofitted/painted an optional front air dam from a 1984 e24 M635csi Euro that is included in the sale.

Other equipment includes 14″ light alloy sports wheels, brand new Falken Azenis RT615k+ Performance tires, four-wheel disc brakes with new front brake pads under Bilstein struts. The power-operated windows feature e28 window motor upgrades for all windows. I just installed a brand new Sanden air conditioning system that is converted to R134a. The car also sports a nearly complete tool kit.

The cabin was refreshed in 2024, including reupholstering the front and contoured rear seats in tan leatherette and installing a custom headliner, door panels, and carpets. Brand new Coco Mats now line the footwells. A Blaupunkt AM/FM radio is fitted in the dash and new speakers have been added.

The four-spoke MoMo steering wheel has been refinished to match the interior wood and fronts a 150-mph speedometer, tachometer, analog clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer has rolled and shows 41,120k miles. The top-end was rebuilt by the previous owner - tmu.

The 3.0-liter M30 inline-six features a recent oil change, dual Webers (the original air intake/filters are included in sale) and all drive belts were replaced with Gates in 2026 during a/c installation. A five-speed Getrag manual transmission was retrofitted in place of the factory 4-speed gearbox (not included). The engine bay also includes a new strut tower brace. A new battery was installed in 2025. Extras include owner's manual, service/repair manuals, and a new water pump in the box, distributor cap, fuel and oil filter, spare coil and Weber carb parts.

Love the color! The BMW blues are just phenomenal. I repainted my E39 in Lemans Blue and the color is just so perfect. This car looks great, hopefully someone here is interested.

Thank you good sir. Proceeds will fund a ‘68 2002 resto, garage update and some racing abroad.

And as mentioned in our conversation on facebook, might be worthwhile posting some more engine bay and underside pictures. The community here is obviously very knowledgeable and the value for the vehicle is partly in external appearance but primarily costly for the internal status.

Yes - these are just some pics I have on my phone. Accessing a lift Monday for undercarriage, formal shoot.

Ps-may already have her sold.
