BMW returned to six-cylinder power for its range-topping models in 1968 with the launch of the 2500/2800 saloons and the 2800CS coupé. The unitary construction, all steel bodyshells were new while the all-independent suspension by means of McPherson struts at the front and semi-trailing arms at the rear was carried over from the successful four-cylinder range. Smoothness personified and remarkably frugal, the new six-cylinder M30 engine was likewise a development of the existing 'four', retaining the latter's chain-driven single overhead camshaft but enjoying the benefits of a new combustion chamber. Servo-assisted all-disc braking was a standard feature and there were automatic transmission and power steering options. There were also long-wheelbase versions available. With a maximum power output of 148bhp the 2500 was good for a top speed of 110mph with the 2800 a shade faster. Even more performance was available from the larger-engined models that appeared later, beginning in 1971 with the 3.0S, which had 178bhp on tap. As one would expect, many customers specified the optional automatic transmission, as is the case with this un-restored long-wheelbase example, which was first registered on 24th June 1981 and has covered only 43,000 kilometres (approximately 26,700 miles) from new. Finished in Fjord metallic, the car has been kept in long-term storage as part of the owner's private collection and will require re-commissioning before returning to the road. Offered with Fahrzeugbrief. No reserve. Am 24. Juni 1981 erstmals zugelassen, hat dieser in "Fjord Metallic" lackierte, unrestaurierte 3.0SA mit langem Radstand lediglich 43.000 km zurückgelegt. Er war als Teil einer Privatsammlung sorgfältig 'eingelagert' und bedarf einer technischen Durchsicht, bevor er wieder 'eingesetzt' werden kann. Die Limousine wird mit deutschem Fahrzeugbrief MEISTBIETEND versteigert.
