Call us a little predictable but the beauty of the CS is our most enduring car crush: for this year at least.<\/p>\n

And stumbling upon this black beauty documented by photographer Mats Sundstrom<\/a>, we think we’ve fallen in love all over again.<\/p>\n

In combo with the BBS alloys and the red leather interior, the car looks every bit as fresh as it did at the time of manufacture in the early seventies.<\/p>\n

It may be fruitless to try to analyse beauty itself: but we think it’s the combination of the pillarless window and the cute, peaky rear end that fills us with aesthetic delight. There’s a beautiful coherence of line in the car’s design: from the front three quarter to the rear. It’s easy to see why this model set up BMW as a purveyor of fine, race-bred coup\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

You can still see its influence, even in the Burly M6 of today.<\/p>\n
