With the 8 Series, BMW perfected the pillarless arrangement thanks to an early example of computer-aided design allied to hours of wind-tunnel testing. The result was a four-seat coupé that was effortlessly refined with the windows raised, that also looked supremely stylish when they were lowered.

1972 BMW 3.0 CSa Coupe This is a very attractive unrestored E9 CS sunroof coupe. It has previous celebrity ownership history (Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn) and has been well-maintained by its enthusiastic owner.

Pillarless coupes bring something special to the table. For some reason, the design can take a basic car and make it look downright elegant. The BMW 2000 CA was the predecessor to many great BMW coupes, and I think its pillarless design can be credited with BMW's success down the line.

It passed on good genes. The car is a true pillarless coupe-that is, there's no "B" pillar holding up the roof. When you roll the door window and the rear quarter glass down, there's the kind of dramatic wide.
