The catalogue lists one generation and one named version, so the buyer question is settled by those numbers rather than by a trim ladder.

There is only one BMW 3200 version in this catalogue: 3.2 MT. It is a Coupe of 1 generation, sold from 1962-01-01 to 1965-12-31, with 160 hp (120 kW), 3168 cm³ Gasoline, 8 cylinders in a V-shaped layout, Carburetor feed, a 4-speed Manual gearbox, and RWD. If the choice is “which BMW 3200 to specify from this list,” the answer is 3.2 MT, because no second named version exists to compare.

# BMW 3200: which version to buy

There is only one BMW 3200 version in this catalogue: 3.2 MT. It is a Coupe of 1 generation, sold from 1962-01-01 to 1965-12-31, with 160 hp (120 kW), 3168 cm³ Gasoline, 8 cylinders in a V-shaped layout, Carburetor feed, a 4-speed Manual gearbox, and RWD. If the choice is “which BMW 3200 to specify from this list,” the answer is 3.2 MT, because no second named version exists to compare.

People search for BMW 3200 CS, BMW 3200 CS Bertone, BMW 3200d, prices, and cars for sale. Those queries are useful as section headings. They are not extra catalogue rows. This text uses only the numbers and English labels in the launch data.

BMW 3200 CS specs: the one version that is actually listed

3.2 MT is the full modification set for BMW 3200 here: 1 generation, 1 version (`modifikaciy`: 1). There is no restyling row and no second generation, so there is no “later 3200” to wait for and no “early 3200” to avoid on generation count.

What 3.2 MT is, in the labels given:

A buyer who wants “the CS Bertone Coupe” in search language is still looking at this same Coupe line in the data: one body, one gearbox family, one drive type. The catalogue does not split CS versus non-CS, Bertone versus in-house, or diesel versus Gasoline. 3.2 MT is Gasoline only.

BMW 3200 CS engine: power per litre and what is not there

Arithmetic on the given figures for 3.2 MT:

There is no second engine to divide. A “which motor” search (BMW 3200 motor, BMW 3200 CS engine) therefore does not yield a 2.0 versus 3.2 choice or a turbo versus naturally aspirated choice. Boost is not measured, so this text does not call 3.2 MT turbocharged or naturally aspirated as a labelled fact.

Cylinders and layout stay as given: 8, V-shaped, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor. Those five labels together are the engine identity of 3.2 MT. Compression ratio, bore and stroke, and fuel grade are not measured.

Because torque in Nm is not measured, weight-per-horsepower and torque-per-litre cannot be computed. Those ratios are not omitted as if they did not apply; they are not measured.

Generations: 1 generation, nothing later to “buy up to”

1 generation ran 1962-01-01 to 1965-12-31 as a Coupe with 1 version. There is no generation 2 in the data, so a buyer cannot trade a first-generation BMW 3200 for a later generation of the same model name. Year-to-year change inside 1962–1965 is also not itemised: start and stop of the generation and of 3.2 MT are the same dates.

What did not change between versions, because there are not two versions:

The extra money for a “newer 3200” is not a catalogue calculation here: there is no second row with more hp, more gears, or a different drive. Difference in power between versions is 160 − 160 = 0 hp, because only 3.2 MT is listed.

Performance and economy (0–100, top speed, mpg)

For 3.2 MT:

Searches that assume an mpg figure or a 0–100 time cannot be answered from this catalogue. This article does not fill those cells from outside the data. A buyer comparing 3.2 MT to another car on paper will have 160 hp and 3168 cm³, and will not have a measured sprint, top speed, or consumption number here.

Dimensions and weight

For 3.2 MT:

Weight per horsepower is therefore not measured (kerb mass is missing). Payload is not measured (gross and kerb are both missing). A “which version is lighter” comparison is not possible inside BMW 3200: there is one version, and its masses are not measured.

Chassis labels that are present for 3.2 MT:

The front axle is specified; the rear axle is not. A buyer who needs a documented rear brake type or rear suspension type will not find it on 3.2 MT in this catalogue.

BMW 3200d, price, and for sale

BMW 3200d and BMW 3200d price in India: this dataset has Gasoline only, one Coupe, one Manual 4 / RWD package named 3.2 MT. There is no diesel version name, no India price, and no market list.

BMW 3200 price, BMW 3200 CS price, BMW 3200 CS for sale, BMW 3200 for sale, BMW 3200 CS Bertone for sale, 1962 BMW 3200 CS for sale, BMW 3200 CS Bertone Coupe for sale: sale prices and stock are not in the launch data. This article does not quote asking prices.

Bertone and “CS” as extra factory names are not fields in the given JSON. The body label is Coupe. The version name to use as a link anchor is exactly 3.2 MT.

Which version to choose

Choose 3.2 MT if the requirement is a BMW 3200 from this catalogue. That is not a ranking of two trims; it is the only named row.

What the numbers support as a buying brief:

1. Power band you can cite: 160 hp and 120 kW on 3168 cm³ Gasoline, about 50.5 hp/L. Peak rpm is not measured, so you cannot specify an engine speed at which that 160 hp arrives. 2. Driveline you can cite: Manual, 4 gears, RWD, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor. There is no Automatic alternative and no AWD alternative in the list. 3. Cylinder architecture you can cite: 8 cylinders, V-shaped, 2 valves per cylinder. There is no four-cylinder or six-cylinder BMW 3200 here. 4. Body you can cite: Coupe, 1 generation, 1962-01-01 to 1965-12-31. There is no sedan or wagon row. 5. What extra money does not buy in this table: more horsepower, a second displacement, a different gearbox, a different drive, or a later generation. Those deltas are all zero because the version count is 1. 6. What you cannot verify before purchase from these cells: 0–100, top speed, mpg, tank size, kerb and gross weight, clearance, wheels, torque, boost, rear suspension, rear brakes, compression, bore and stroke, fuel grade, eco class, CO₂.

If a listing is titled BMW 3200 CS, BMW 3200 CS Bertone, or 1962 BMW 3200 CS, match it to this catalogue only where the mechanical labels agree with 3.2 MT: Coupe, Gasoline 3168 cm³, 8 cylinders V-shaped, Manual 4, RWD, 160 hp / 120 kW, years overlapping 1962-01-01–1965-12-31. If a listing is a 3200d, it does not match this Gasoline-only row.

Reliability and common problems are not in the data, so they are not scored. The buyer decision that the numbers do support is narrow and complete: among BMW 3200 versions in this catalogue, buy 3.2 MT, and treat every empty performance, economy, and dimension cell as not measured rather than as zero.
