BMW 2000CS 1968
General description :
Architecture and cardesign has never been so parallel as in the ‘60s, and this BMW 2000C is a perfect example of this. Just think of the modernist large (mostly) white villas with “fenetres en longueur” or panoramic windiws, of which these aesthetic characteristics undoubtedly can be recognized in the design of this BMW. The 2000C is part of the “New class” series that BMW launched after their financial crisis in the ‘60s, that brought BMW back on the map. Besides build quality and perfect finishing, this car was fitted with the iconic 'M10' 4-in-line engine that we also know from the iron cast BMW 2002, so it’s needless to say that this BMW 2000C is also very reliable.
This offered example from 1968 finds itselves in an unseen condition, from exterior to interior. This car has been perfectly repainted once and there is no single trace left of it, as well as the engine bay, trunk and interior are in absolute new condition. This BMW 2000C is, as it were, a time capsule that has preserved its originality and quality over the years. The 101 hp engine, which still features the original ignition, wiring, etc .. starts immediately and runs smoothly, while the gearbox also shifts soft and flawless. When stationary, the engine runs silently, which says everything about the quality of this BMW. This copy was also very classy configured: a Chamonix white body, which do the ‘60s design justice, in combination with a dark blue interior and wooden finishing. What a class!
This classy and very original BMW 2000C is now available at Rock ’N Roll Classics!

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
