Ronnie Fieg Restores Two One-Off BMWs to Mark Kith's 15th Anniversary

Kith teams up with BMW for a fourth collaboration, with Ronnie Fieg personally overseeing the restoration of two one-off cars — a 1972 3.0 CSi and a 1987 M6 E24 — both finished in the original Inka Orange. The full collection drops worldwide on August 17.

Most brands mark an anniversary with a jacket or a sneaker. Ronnie Fieg decided to restore two cars instead. This marks Kith's fourth collaboration with BMW, and by far its most ambitious — two individually restored one-off vehicles, a 1972 3.0 CSi and a 1987 M6 E24, both finished in Inka Orange, the high-visibility shade BMW introduced back in 1971.

The 3.0 CSi underwent a full frame-off restoration, with parts sourced directly from BMW's archives. The M30 Big Six engine and suspension were rebuilt, the wood-trim interior restored, and the cabin reupholstered in caramel leather with an all-over Kith monogram stitched throughout. The M6 E24 got the rotisserie treatment, retaining its original S38 inline-six engine, Getrag five-speed manual transmission, and factory BBS Style 5 wheels, with a matching caramel leather interior and monogram detailing to tie the two cars together.

Putting these two cars, spanning 15 years of BMW design, side by side is a fitting way to visualize Kith's own timeline: one car carries the GT pedigree of the '70s, the other bridges into the performance-focused '80s, and the two are stitched together by a single shared color. Both one-offs also serve as the design foundation for the entire Kith for BMW 2026 apparel and accessories collection — meaning the lines and tones you'll see on the clothing largely trace back to these two builds.
