Glas 2600 V8 and BMW-Glas 3000 V8 - Bavarian in an Italian tailor-made suit

March 20, 2012 — Hans W. Mayer 24

Although it was not the first German eight-cylinder of the post-war era - that honor goes to the unforgotten BMW 502 - it was by far the cheapest. The recipe is quite simple: take two 1.3-liter four-cylinder engines with overhead camshafts, put them on a common crankcase... and the V8 is ready. Advertised with a popular price and dressed in Italian chic, it was supposed to turn the heads of the masses. But things turned out differently and the elegant glass eight-cylinder was not a success. This article goes back to its creation and describes its remarkable characteristics, illustrated by many pictures from then and now.

BMW/Glas 3000 V8 - elegant fastback coupé by Pietro Frua

May 12, 2015 — Stefan Dierkes 25

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.
