andrepa ◊ 2025-11-17 01:07	might be a 1974+ 3.0 CS with safety bumpers already, don't think 2.5 CS https://glenshelly.com/sales/sold-full/1974-bmw-30-cs
zodiac ◊ 2025-11-17 11:45	I believe the rear badge is too long to be a 3.0 CS. Instead I believe it's a 2800 CS Link to "e9coupe.com" and https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-bmw-2800cs-8/ .

But 2 problems - 2800 CS died a couple of years before safety bumpers arrived, leaving only 3.0 versions for US, and it has the newer alloys. So it should be a 73+ 3.0 something. And now I'm stuck.
andrepa ◊ 2025-11-17 16:50	So it should be 3.0 CSi ?

Now it's up to you admin to decide if the badge is only partly visible on the featured filmed car, or if it has been changed. Both alternatives are possible. -- Last edit: 2025-11-17 20:41:53
CougarTim ◊ 2025-11-18 01:36	zodiac has me convinced to vote for 3.0 CS.
