Photo Gallery «BMW/Glas 3000 V8 - elegant fastback coupé by Pietro Frua»
In 1967, an extremely elegant coupé with a BMW kidney grille was on display at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, but the car did not come from the Munich manufacturer. The four-seater, which was technically based on the Glas 3000 V8 Coupé, was built by Pietro Frua himself with the idea of securing orders from BMW. Although this was not successful, the car survived and a special design element, known as the "evil eye", has characterized BMW vehicles right up to the present day. This report describes the history of the BMW 3000 Coupé from Frua and shows it in historical and current images.
