BMW e3 - 3.0 S - Automatic (1972)
The 1972 BMW e3 3.0 was arguably at the time the fastest 4 door car in the world. In fact it was quicker and said to handle much better than the more famous BMW e9 coupe due to being 50kg lighter and a better overall balance vehicle.
I’d consider this right hand delivered vehicle to be extremely rare; I would imagine there would only be one or two of these 72 twin carb cars remaining in Australia, a recent search completed on howmanyleft.co.uk displayed only 9 licensed BMW 3.0s reaming in the UK.
This is an ideal entry restoration project for the BMW enthusiasts looking to preserve history without the e9 price tag.
This car is a restoration project car that is 99.9% complete with just the rear exhaust muffler section missing which could be easily fabricated to standard spec. What’s great about these old BMW projects is all perishable parts are still available via online stores in Germany, such as rubbers, pads, nuts and bolt packages, drive shaft kits and they are very easy to work on. In addition the old BMW cars have a great global network of enthusiasts with forums and Facebook groups to assist with parts and general guidance.
The car has been in storage since 1989. The previous owner started restoring it and has rubbed the body back for a respray and they filled some minor dint's, it currently looks very undesirable, however it shows there is nothing to hide and the only major rust found was under the bonnet, which is easy to replace, the remining visible rust is only light surface rust dusting from being rubbed back.
The car was running when parked up, it has been started since and would not take much to get running again, it needs basic servicing and mechanical work, nothing major.
