Searching for the current caretaker of a 1975 E9 serial number 3180626

[Gitane59]

I am trying to find the current owner of this car originally sold to a Timothy Wolohan in Cincinnati in July 7th 1975. Within the package of documents that came with my 1978 E24 out of his collection is the E9's original service log showing 4 entries upto Feb 6th 1985. I would love to see this document find it's way back to the original car. Given how well my E24 was maintained I would suspect chassis number 3180626 is still being loved.

That's an e3 sedan. Not an e9 coupe.

Ok that's why the 3.0S in the booklet looked strange. I ran the serial number through Real Oem but never paid enough attention to the details. Bad on me! I wonder if there is a E3 group that might have enough interest that someone might want it. Thank's for the correcting my error.

There are two E3 forums here...

BMW E9 Coupe Discussion Forum

BMW E9 Coupe Enthusiasts Site - 2800cs, 3.0cs, 3.0csl

e9coupe.com

...with quite a few E3 enthusiasts.

There is also a Facebook group...

I think it may be tough to find the current owner of the car, but certainly worth a try. More E3s were likely made for the US market than e9s. but the survival percentage is probably far lower than E9s.

Here's the US production numbers for this car...
