[falcon64]

the junk yard is pull a part in knoxville u can check there website and there calling it a 1973 3 series like go look i didnt think it was because of the 5 lug wheel pattern

It's probably a 3.0s if they're calling it a 1973 3 series. How rusty is it?

[falcon64]

its pretty rough not really rusty just fucked up its complete tho it still has the air cleaner and hub caps on it its not really been touched the trunk lid is in the back seat and the hood is bent but it still had alot of usable parts has nobody ever went to a pull a part junk yard its its own name there really cheap and have an amazing selection like seriously check there website pullapart.com i pretty much got alot of kinda hard to find parts for cheap there

prob an old bavaria or 2800. cool sedans imo. old-school carbed m30!

What you saw was probably a E3 (Bavaria), because the US didn't get a six-cylinder E12 until July 1974 (with the 530i.) Below is a shot of a US model Bavaria.

in 73, the only 4-door was bavaria

[TDE30]

Nope, the E12 520 was built in February 1972.
