In 1968 BMW introduced the wildly popular E9 series in the form of the 2800 CS coupe. Clothed in sleek coachwork by Karmann, the 2800 CS was powered by the M30 six-cylinder engine used in BMW's saloons, bringing unprecedented power to the Neue Klasse coupe. Though the 2800 CS chassis utilized dated rear drum brakes, in 1971 a 3-liter successor appeared featuring four-wheel disc brakes. Capable of 130 mph performance, the 3.0 CS became the basis of the homologation special 3.0 CSL, which garnered a spate of competition victories for the marque, including six European Touring Car Championships between 1973 and 1979 and class wins at Le Mans, Spa, and Daytona.
