3200 CS Bertone

The BMW 3200 CS Bertone is the belated successor to the BMW 503 Coupé in the BMW 501/502 “Baroque Angel” series and is technically based on them; however, the body is not made of aluminum as in the 503, but rather of conventional sheet steel, and it was not produced by the body manufacturer Baur, but by Bertone in Turin.

The car's design is one of Giugiaro's earliest; having spent his apprenticeship at Bertone, he gave the car a understated, Italian-inspired sports car silhouette with panoramic windows and frameless side windows. The 3200 CS was luxuriously equipped; among other things, it was one of the first German cars to feature power windows.

It offered generous interior space and trunk capacity for its class, but received little attention at its debut at the 1961 IAA, as the long-awaited “New Class” (BMW 1500), which was unveiled at the same time, drew all the attention. The 3.2-liter V8 aluminum engine with twin carburetors produced 160 PS in the 3200 CS and enabled a top speed of 200 km/h. To ensure sufficient production capacity for the BMW 02, which was newly introduced in 1966 alongside the four-door models, BMW discontinued production of the V8 coupe in 1965 after building only 603 vehicles.

This BMW 3200 CS Bertone was originally delivered in Switzerland and was first registered in the canton of Lucerne on October 15, 1962. Over 40 years ago, the rare coupe was acquired by its last owner. In 2015, he had the body and mechanical components restored, and the original interior was refreshed. Until his passing in January 2026, he used the BMW for occasional drives in good weather and to attend classic car events. Today, this beautiful and rare BMW—only 603 were built—is in good to very good condition and drives flawlessly. The most recent vehicle inspection (MFK) as a classic car took place in November 2020, meaning the car can remain registered in most German-speaking Swiss cantons until the end of November 2026.
