In 1968 BMW launched a new large luxury sedan under the internal designation "New Six." The E3 sedan version eventually changed into the 7-series, but before it became the bloated twin-turbo pig it is today, this car was badged the Bavaria for the US market and powered by BMW's big six engines.

This Bavaria is a well proportion sedan covered in a deep shade of blue, although this one has had its front passenger side grille and federally mandated 5mph bumper fang rearranged by a right hook. Its nothing that can't be fixed by a body shop, but the lack of any mention of the damage by the seller is a bit concerning.
The E3 is powered by a carburetted version of the 3.0 liter M30 inline-6 putting 170 horsepower and 185 ft-lbs of torque into an automatic transmission.
While you are back dating the bumpers to the 1972 and earlier versions, consider swapping in a manual transmission...but everything else on this Bavaria looks good.

DeleteMy Dad bought a new 3.0S; I think the model year was 1974. Manual tranny. Silver with blue interior.
ReplyDeleteHe was alerted to the existence of BMWs when I bought a 1969 2002.
I agree on the ask for this one being too high.
And I would want documentation on the mileage claimed.
