duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi, a European-market example showing 101,230 kilometers (62,901 miles) and finished in Verona Red over a Black leather interior. Equipped with its numbers-matching, fuel-injected 3.0-liter inline-six and a four-speed manual transmission, this E9 coupe retains the classic grand touring character that has made BMW’s early six-cylinder coupes so desirable. Additional highlights include genuine 16-inch Alpina wheels, European bumpers, power windows, and a distinctive combination of period-inspired exterior and interior details.

The BMW 3.0 CSi belongs to the celebrated E9 coupe family, known for its elegant proportions, distinctive pillarless greenhouse, and engaging driving dynamics. The CSi designation identified the fuel-injected version of BMW’s 3.0-liter six-cylinder coupe, offering improved performance and refinement over its carbureted counterparts. With its naturally aspirated inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and four-speed manual transmission, the 3.0 CSi helped establish the foundation for BMW’s subsequent performance-oriented grand touring and luxury coupes. The 5-digit odometer reads 1,230 kilometers having just rolled over in April of 2024, true lifetime mileage is believed to be 101,230 km. This particular E9 was delivered new to it's first owner in Switzerland and saw subsequent European ownership in Holland, Monaco, and England before being imported to the United States around 2024.

The exterior is finished in Verona Red and complemented by genuine 16-inch Alpina wheels and European-specification bumpers. A lower front air dam with integrated fog lights adds a more purposeful appearance, while black CSi stripes provide a contrasting detail along the body. Chrome beltline and window trim preserve the E9’s classic styling, highlighting its long hood, flowing roofline, and frameless side windows. The exterior received a ceramic coating in January 2026.

Inside, the cabin features Black leather upholstery complemented by wood trim across the dashboard and interior surfaces. VDO instrumentation provides a traditional display of vehicle information, while a black Nardi steering wheel adds a distinctive period-inspired touch to the driver’s environment. An Alpine head unit provides modern audio functionality, and power windows add convenience without detracting from the coupe’s classic character.

Power comes from BMW’s numbers-matching, fuel-injected M30 3.0-liter inline-six, paired with a four-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The M30 engine family became one of BMW’s most recognizable powerplants, celebrated for its smooth delivery and durable design. The combination of fuel injection, a manual gearbox, and traditional rear-wheel drive delivers the engaging mechanical character expected of BMW’s classic E9 platform. Notable major servicing earlier this year included replacement of the power steering pump, clutch slave cylinder, sway bar end links, and several oil seals. The timing chain and guides were replaced in early 2025.

Showing 101,230 kilometers (62,901 miles), this 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi offers a desirable combination of European-market specification, numbers-matching engine, and classic BMW grand touring design. Its Verona Red exterior, genuine Alpina wheels, black leather interior, and four-speed manual transmission create an appealing presentation of the fuel-injected CSi model. Accompanied by service records, this example represents an opportunity to acquire one of BMW’s most recognizable classic coupes. The sale includes two keys, service records, and a RetroSound radio and amplifier.
