Hey Dale, you HAVE to have a better picture than that... don't you? That's the only picture I've ever seen of your car. I think its been displayed so many times that its starting to fade.

Hans said his car was built September 1, but my information from BMW indicated that 2270012 was built at a later date yet has an earlier VIN number.
So...I went back and reread what BMW sent me a few months ago.
Can anyone spot the problem with this info?
I emailed BMW again and they replied-
FYI, my car is titled as a '69 as well

Murray:
The VIN on our 1970 2800CS is: 2270335. We have owned this coupe since Sept., 1989 - bought it in Berkeley from Clairmont Continental, a small imported car dealer. It currently has about 170,000 miles, of which we have put on about 100K. Mechanically it is pretty much stock, with the exception of a 5 speed. The A/C works, it has a sunroof, and I hope to do at least another 100,000 miles in it.
Here are a couple of photos taken last week - yea, the car is in the middle of a cosmetic restoration, including rust repair, new floors, repaint, interior work, and a lot of little things. Started it in June, and hope to have it done by this June (originally thought it would just take a couple of months - HA!). My goal was to keep it as a driver, but to address the rust and prior accident issues. My concern is that the restoration is suffering from "mission creep".
Great to see the CS folks this morning at Cars & Coffee, Irvine.

2800CS 1970 Vin 2205990
2205990 240K kilometers
Car bought in Medford Oregon in 1991 by me when I was living in PA, car now in FL. Believe car spent most of its life before me in So. CA. Do
not know when and where it was delivered. How would I find that out and how can I find the manufacture date?
Car was originaly white, PO had it painted silver which is current color. Has 4-speed, power SR and windows. I added a factory AC system from a 72 CS. Runs great and is in great shape.

Hey Kevin, mine is 2250136, US Spec. manufactured on April 24th, 1972 and delivered on June 14th, 1972 to the importer BMW Concessionaires G.B. Ltd. in London. Was also automatic then, now 5-speed.
That is about one car built every two working days, then relaxing to contemplate the car for half a day.

We can learn alot about these cars...if we want tooo!
Arde, just the kind of info we should be tracking..How many cars were built in April of 72...were all of the 225xxxx, or were cars for other markets and trim built as well? What colours were used that month.
all very interesting to me.

Re: We can learn alot about these cars...if we want tooo!
Mine is Verona red with vinyl interior. Do you have pictures of yours somewhere on the net?
Knowledge opens up many other questions though:
- Why was a US spec car delivered to London
- Why did it take much longer to ship to London than to Canada
- Why does the car have the auxiliary electric fan but no A/C
- How could they assemble a car in 2 days and Malc's is taking years to finish

I'd take the shipping info with a grain of salt. According to BMW, my 3.0CS was "manufactured on June 26th, 1973 and delivered on July 4th, 1973 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City."
That's 8 days, which is hard to believe logistically unless the car was flown to NYC. It would have to get from Munich (way inland) by rail to a port (Bremerhaven?), then to the dock in New Jersey and NYC. Doesn't sound possible.

Interesting stuff to ponder on a rainy, very soggy day here in NorCal...
220xxxx = Euro, 227xxxx = US stick, 228xxxx = US auto
So does 225xxxx = Canadian delivery? (Arde & BlauMitWiess's cars)
Seems like an Excel spreadsheet is in order w/ VINs dates & destination, original and current colors and current locations. How about in chronological order from the build date?
Any Volunteers to be the board's archivist?
Hey Dang, is there a way we can 'upload/post' to a community spreadsheet?

VIN
Hey guys, that's a US 3.0
3.0 CSA/USA 2 250 001 thru 2 250 738 = 738

Chris..I can explain the Canadian car, but not Adre's.
As with the 2002 or Tii, of which there was a reported 7,400 units delivered, nobody seems to understand that these were NA models which includes Mexico, USA and Canada. So assume that 300 cars went to Mexico, 680-700 cars went to Canada and the USA gets about 6,500 Tii's...I really have no clue of the distribution numbers, just speculation.
But all Tii's sent to canada start with 276 or 278
Same with the 225xxxx number, intended for Canada, Mexico and USA.
But London? England?
This is exactly why we need a REGISTRY!
Rant Over.
