Always been afraid to get something that old, im sure parts are rare and expensive, gl.

This will be a parts car, I am definitely not restoring it lol. I will be the one selling the rare and expensive parts, hopefully

Yeah, I've been doing some research, I called the guy hoping he'd give the car away (to me).

I found some interesting stuff on the internet:

SSR | The Senior Six Registry

http://www.seniorsix.org/

This site represents the Senior Six Registry, a special interest group of the BMW Car Club of America representing that model of BMW 4-door sedan imported into the U.S. between 1969 and 1976, commonly referred to as the 2500, 2800, Bavaria, 3.0 S or 3.0 Si. It includes contact information for the Registry, a link to the E3 FAQ, scanned images of member's cars, a link to the Registry mailing list, and other commentary.

http://www.e9coupe.com/ (The E9 is closely related to the E3)

ZENITH 35/40 INAT

I'm curious, how bad is the rust? Good luck to you if you decide to restore it.

Yeah, I read that AFTER I posted. If it doesn't have rust too bad, that 2800 could be a nice car.

The 2800 is an E3, Matt.

**Matt-B** · 06-09-2011, 11:52 AM

I simply stated you googled some links on it... to let us know how much you know about everything

While it's true I found those links through Google, I have been doing research on the E3 for about a week. I'm no expert.

Way to be a dick for no reason. ;)

**Van Westervelt** · 06-09-2011, 01:27 PM

Matt just likes trying to give anyone shit, even if there is no purpose behind it, due to the fact that he got so much shit for so long, and still does. ;)

**Mlarsen** · 06-09-2011, 01:32 PM

Oh, I'm just giving him a hard time.

**LuckyHenriksen** · 06-09-2011, 04:57 PM

Ta fuck happened in here? The car is definitely ruff, when I get a break from work I will go over it more thoroughly. It has lots of cracking body filler, and lots of rust bubbles behind the wheel wells and in the rockers. The interior is also thrashed, but it does have a 4 speed in it lol
