Here's a '72 Bavaria in Colorado:
$1200.
$1200.
E3's for sale in Southern California
- Thread starter rblongboarder
- Start date
I'd be more interested in the '74-'76 BMW 2002 Sahara in the background.
Unfortunately (especially considering current vintage car market) this would be nothing more than a parts car, or or at best a racer. And there aren't too many Bavaria's out there on the track these days (if ever). The cost to restore would weigh out way any future ROI.

Here's a barn find in the upstate New York area. Automatic model, '71:
The ad seems a bit odd.. selling an E3, but it mentions E9s.

That's a very creatively-written ad! I like how it begins with:
***First photo is not actual car**, old pic of same model …This ’70s BMW is the so-called E9 coupe, the six-cylinder 2800CS, 3.0CS/CSi, and the CSL. A true B-pillarless two-door coupe, the flawlessly proportioned E9 is widely viewed as being the most beautiful car BMW ever built,
Leading with a photo of a different (much nicer) car is pretty deceptive. Then calling an E3 an E9 and saying it is pillarless, two-door, etc. is a bit much!

That ad is all over the place.
Here is another one in Richmond Hills, NY. Stated "original" down to the tires, but something doesn't look right on the inner right underhood pic. https://www.facebook.com/share/1G8Lew4MBR/
It does look like it may have a 4 barrel carb (Solex?). I wonder if any 2800s came stock with one?
Not a leather interior as stated, but overall it looks nice in the few pictures provided. 80,000KM if correct is a real plus.
Is that Florida (the color, not the state)?

Sure looks like it. I DM'd the seller asking for the paint code, but not sure what other color it could be.
I like everything about the car except the asking price.
I love the car. Would not drive five feet on "original tires."

Here's a midwestern / northeastern '72 Bavaria that's been on Hemmings for a long time. Price dropped from $14k to $10k:
And a new '73 Bavaria that just appeared on Hemmings. Asking $13.5k, but there's a lot of floorpan rust:

That turquoise (Türkis) car was on offer at SportcarLA in June 2023. Looks a lot better now.
