E3's for Sale in the USA

[Paulaner]

$52k starting price is insane. I'll just go buy an e9 worthy of a resto with that money.

It's a Dutch auction, so the price goes down, not up.

That seems to be a very strong ask for an E3

Must have changed as of this AM. Nonetheless glad it was purchased. Hoping the new owner will pop up on here at some point. That one is going to take a TON of work to get right

getting to be a more reasonable price ... but if i was in the market for an e3, i would be all over Don Bower's 3.0s

One car is a Series II (tailights). The other might yield some Series I specialty parts: chrome, bumpers, etc...

Can someone explain the rear canter mounted antenna on his e3? Haven't seen that before

Yikes, those are rough. Might be better left for the mice and birds to enjoy

Dealer-installed is my assumption, and they were hung over.

It’s a euro thing: center of roof above windshield, center of trunk, etc.

Is the trunk center mounted antenna a clip-on, easily removed with no damage to the trunk deck? I had not seen that installation location before.

Pic 28 shows it going through the trunk deck with the wire routed under the trim panel and exiting along the right-hand hinge (pics 81/88).

I'm curious about the plug to the right of the 3.0 S emblem on pic 18.

I've been waiting for someone to ask about that. You know how some geniuses slap an M badge on their 320? The speculation is that, at some point, 3.0S owners in Europe wished they had a 3.0Si -- and that hole would be where the i was mounted. Good for another 20 hp.
