BMW-Glas 3000 V8
In the early â60s, BMW experienced a spurt of unbelievable growth due to the enormous success of its “Neue Klasse” models. But the company needed bigger production facilities. So they decided to buy the struggling German independent brand Glas and absorb their models in the BMW lineup.
The result was the BMW-Glas 3000 V8 coupe they unveiled in the late â60s. Basically, it had a Glas design, but with BMW mechanics and badges. The car was expensive and they sold it in limited numbers, but it is an interesting part of BMW history.
