![]() 1962 BMW 3200CS coupe. See more pictures of BMW cars. |
The Germans' trusty V-8 was tweaked once again to produce 160 horsepower, sufficient to give this car a 125-mph top speed. Like the 503/507, it was mostly handbuilt and quite costly as a result. However, an aging chassis and running gear rendered it behind the times almost as soon as it was introduced.
