The AB3ü Bay 97 was a three-axle through car with a side aisle of 1st and 2nd class, which with the sheet no. 070 was built for the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.) for use in express train services. With the conversion in 1933, the bellows were removed, the class allocation changed and the cars were redrawn to BC3i Bay 97/33 . For the transition to neighboring railways in Austria, Switzerland and Italy, the wagons received appropriate signal holders.
