BMW 3.0 CSi (1971 to 1975)

The BMW 3.0 CSi was a variant of the BMW New Six Coupe (E9) that was introduced in 1971. The 3.0 CSi was introduced alongside its carbureted sibling, the 3.0 CS, with both these cars replacing the 2800 CS. Unlike the CS, the 3.0 CSi featured a fuel-injected version of the BMW M30 inline six engine used in both cars. This unit featured Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, as well as a higher compression ratio in order to produced 200hp. BMW offered buyer a choice between a four speed manual or three speed manual transmission (Automatic cars are designated CSiA).
