This is only a fraction of the E3 currently on offer. Some of them are grossly overpriced or worse. However, a few might be worth an inspection.It’s always fun to see what’s available across the pond.

It's not Inka, it's Phönix, the autumn 1976 successor of Inka and correct on this car. The car itself is on a journey for two or three years now: one privateer and three or more dealers. A club friend looked at it twice, drove it once and was very much not impressed.
My E3 is for sale but it's a '69.

Hi Dan,
Do you mind posting a few photos of your '69 2800 ? Or perhaps a few links to other forum
threads with photos of your vehicle?
Thank you,
Jean-Paul

1969 2800 E3 - Bringing "The White Car" back to life!
Okay, I've finally gotten around to working on The White Car "aka The Turd" that I bought at Copart last year. I finished the '51 GMC and have pushed The White Car into the garage to start work. Last registered in 1994 but the car looks very complete and original. The plan is to get it...

Air Suspension going on a '69 E3
Awesome job! However, I'd somehow beef up those rear shock towers since they are now carrying the full rear weight of your car.

Thanks a lot. The BMW E3 Club's registry appreciates it. Two of these were new to me.
On Barnfinds the VIN for no. 6 is stated as +3131806+.
No. 5 sure is an import from Europe. That happened when the car was new as it is a USA version, indicated by the +246NNNN+ VIN. An ECE version 2800 A Series 1 would start with 244. When new, it was quite special with its full trim, leather upholstery and so on. The 2500/2800 USA were short-lived models before the equally short-lived 2800 Bavaria arrived.
Not the most hopeless of causes. BMW built a good 4100 USA version E3 in 1971. The next two years would be even easier, but that doesn't count. Methinks only athletes and actresses have successfully changed their year of birth to date.
A 1972 Bavaria in your neck of the woods.

Hello RBL, Found and bought my car at the Vintage BMW show in Asheville, NC last weekend. Good luck on your search and endeavor. I saw something about a Fjord blue car
that you were looking at. I have not photographed or registered my car with this site yet. Not sure of the color yet. Bakail blue with tobacco interior.

Looks like an original Florida car (the color, not the state). Cool color.Here's a very interesting 1969 2500 in Michigan:

This won't last long. Someone is going to get a real original car at a more than fair price. Don't dwadle.
That’s a good looking California color. When are you going to visit it?

To RBL, This car is in Minnesota not Michigan. It is what it is but it is closer. I agree with Csteve, jump on it.

Yeah, I got pretty excited about it when I saw it here in Larry's post. I like the original color, and the fact that it is an early car. I also like that I could drive it home from its location (assuming the seller's comment about 'driving it anywhere' is accurate, which may be a stretch). But my wife is supposed to choose the next car, so I'd be usurping her spot in line. Plus, it has no AC, the lack of which is causing her not to enjoy driving in our 1600 that much. So I'd be in double deep doo-doo at that point. And to reference the more cogent discussion of the car in Dick's thread, I don't know that it is priced well. Seems like a really good $7,500 car as so much would need to be re-done. But Florida, come on!
Wait a minute, it’s not the original color, but it is a color I have seen on a E3 before. Look at the under hood shots, looks like a white car.
