BMW 3200 CS - Hans Stuck tests the Italian from Bavaria

January 26, 2017 — N.N.19

In 1962, BMW presented the 3200 CS, which had been developed jointly with Bertone. The elegant coupé succeeded the 503/507 models, but served a different clientele. The magazine 'hobby' had the new car shown to it by racing driver Hans Stuck, who certainly let it fly. This article reproduces the restored original text from 1962 and shows the car in many historical photographs.

BMW 3200 CS - an underrated rarity

September 24, 2020 — Bruno von Rotz 62

With the BMW 3200 CS, the Munich-based company surprised visitors at the IAA in 1961, as a successor to the BMW 503 was not really expected. The new coupé was developed in collaboration with Bertone, where the body was then also built. The elegant Granturismo was only built for around four years, with just over 600 units produced. The successor was more suitable for the masses and more successful. Despite limited production numbers, Italian design and advanced technology, the "Bertone-BMW", as it was also known, remained a niche product that is still disdained by some enthusiasts today. This driving report is about a BMW 3200 CS from the second series and shows it in current pictures, supplemented by historical photos and a sound sample.

BMW 2000 CS on test - a compromise between a saloon and a sports coupé

February 11, 2015 — Heinz Kranz 26

The magazine 'hobby' had given the BMW 2000 CS a lot of advance praise and was therefore eager to test the car properly at an early stage. And they were given the opportunity to do so and published their experiences before most other magazines - positive experiences, nota bene, and pointedly described. This article reproduces the newly edited original test report and supplements it with pictures of the pretty coupé from the time.
