1973 BMW 3.0 CSi

A friend for over a decade has driven a 1980 Volvo 262C Bertone coupe (the factory chopped roof version) with an updated Ford Mustang drivetrain within it. (and he owns a chopped ’32 Ford 5-window coupe) Recently he came across two abused 1973 BMW 3.0 CSi’s missing their drivetrains and asked me to “dream up something that would look almost factory but that will possibly offend hardcore BMW purists”. Drivetrain will be from a 2016 BMW M4 along with an updated interior using the same donor.

I thought about doing a 3.0 CSL “Bat Wing” version but hasn’t that already been done enough already? (a well known “garbage man” friend in Seattle had one built years ago with all M6 components within it and it was gorgeous!)
