BMW 3.0 CS

This exquisite example of a BMW 3.0 CS is about to be auctioned by the venerable RM. Expected to fetch between $90-120K we reckon it’s a bit of a bargain. It’s immaculate, achingly pretty, and in a week when car art has been at the forefront of our minds, we reckon we’ve found a car crush that brings the mechanistic level of design pretty close to the sublime.
When it comes down to it, this BMW 3.2 CS would be a rather usable bit of automotive artistry too, with a full aesthetic and mechanical resto having been completed just a 1000 miles ago. But whether or not we would use it to go to Asda, we could spend all day looking at the perky, feline rear three quarter. It’s Friday, and we’re in love.
