BMW 3200 CS Bertone Coupe
Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 3200 CS represented the pinnacle of BMW's early 1960s lineup. The hand-built Bertone body featured elegant Italian styling with a distinctive panoramic rear window and luxurious appointments. With only 538 examples produced over four years, it remains one of BMW's rarest classic grand tourers. The 3.2-liter inline-six delivered 160 horsepower, making it capable of 200 km/h and establishing BMW's reputation for building fast, sophisticated coupes that would culminate in the legendary E9 CS models.
Verify originality of Bertone coachwork and check for panel alignment issues. Engine should have proper documentation as many were rebuilt. Look for rust in chassis components despite aluminum body. Ensure all luxury features function properly as replacement parts are nearly impossible to source.
Hand-built by Bertone in Italy with aluminum body panels. Production was extremely limited due to high cost and labor-intensive construction. Each car required extensive hand-finishing and customization according to customer specifications.
