Been digging around and can't seem to find any production numbers for the RHD 3.0 CS. I've found them for the CSI so I'm assuming they exist.
Anyone have any ideas?

RHD CS Production Numbers
- Thread starter Wes
- Start date
VINs are here but we have a typo, 215 3.0CSi and 207 3.0CSA (not CSiA) carbed RHD coupes. Plus of course 500 RHD CSLs.

Thanks Chris.
So is this saying there were only 207 RHD 3.0 CS made?

Yeah right.
So here's my first 'newby' question is the CSA designation for the RHD versions?
Mine has been swapped to a 5 speed at some point, which seems like a fairly common thing.

CSA means automatic and was used for all coupes with auto trans.
As soon as I hit enter on my last post it dawned on me it was for automatic
According to BMW my car was delivered to the UK was was manufactured on October 23rd, 1972 and delivered on October 24th, 1972 to the UK.
The E9 Driven doesn't show any production for RHD CSA for that year.
Any ideas?
AFAIK later cars (73 on) were auto if carbed, manual if injected. 433xxxx/435xxxx VIN numbers.
Yours being a '72 auto should be a 223xxxx chassis no.

Weren’t the early RHD coupes in the UK modified from LHD to RHD by the importer? That would explain the earlier 223xxxx coupes not having a unique VIN series.
Mine has the 223 VIN prefix.
So the thinking is it was imported as LHD and then converted in the UK?

One of our experts in the UK will know for sure.
