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 bodyshells were new while the all-independent suspension 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, while automatic transmission and power steering were available as options. 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. Jack's father, Stanley Sears, purchased this 3.0S new from BMW Brighton and shipped it to Portugal where he lived. Air conditioning, power steering, Frankfurt radio, and an electric sunroof were specified. Following Stanley's death in 1987, the BMW was brought to the UK and registered here in November 1990. This collectible modern BMW comes with a substantial file of history to include the original order/purchase correspondence and paperwork; old Portuguese registration papers and service invoices; numerous subsequent UK service invoices; old/current V5/V5C registration documents, etc.
