Curious to know, what feature(s) visibly determine a '75? I saw one once with the front struts literally bulging up through the hood. The owner (I was told) was an exotic dancer who paid for the bodywork, $20 at a time.

I didn’t get a photo - sorry. The license plate said it was a 1975. But it kind of looked like this car.

Except it had different wheels

That's a nice euro 3.0 CSi sold a a price that somewhat surprises me. It has the D-jet motor and bumpers with all the structural rigidity of a gigolo's mustache (that the US market got through 1973). '74 and '75 USA models got the larger stronger bumpers with a shock absorber in them.
Caution, the fenders area advertised as "vented" but as far as I know, the "vents' were non-functional in both euro and USA versions. The wood steering wheel is nice (just like mine) but the spokes have semi-hard edges which will gently bite your hands.

It is a stunning CSi sold by a well respected BMW enthusiast.
