It was produced and completed on July 1971 at BMWs Munich, West Germany factory.

The New Mexico Certificate of Title is dated December 8, 1971.Finished in Polaris Silver (code 060), the cars paint and trim are in overall excellent condition especially considering that most of it is original, there are some very minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The windows are clear and intact and the cars lights, chrome bumpers and grills are in overall very good condition including those famous BMW kidneys.This particular BMW rides on Pirelli P4 radials, size 195/70R14, at all four corners. The tires surround factory steel wheels with correct BMW wheel covers. The tires are in great condition and the wheels look fantastic. All of the cars body panels are straight and solid and this model even comes with a factory Golde sliding sunroof. The engine bay is extremely tidy; the trunk is tidy and includes the factory original tool kit and intact first aid kit.Under the hood is the 170HP 3.0L inline SOHC six-cylinder engine with upgraded dual Weber 32/36 DGAV carburetors and triple-hemispheric combustion chambers. Backing that engine is the original and correct BMW four-speed manual transmission and a 3.64:1 rear end.

With a fully independent suspension along with four-wheel disc brakes, the E3 was well ahead of its time in the early 1970s. The body was surprisingly light for its size, weighing less than the smaller E9 coup. Vision is also good, with narrow roof pillars and no less than 27square feet of overall glass area.In the U.S. market, the 2500 and 2800 were introduced in 1969. The 2500 was shy of many of the luxury features included while the 2800 sedan was heavily optioned with items like full leather interior, power windows and power sunroof.For the 1971 model year,Max Hoffman, the BMW importer for the USA, convinced BMW AG to build the 2500 configuration car but use the 2800 engine i.e. the classic American hotrod formula of taking the lower option, lighter weight chassis and fitting the largest engine. This new E3 configuration was called the Bavaria and was unique to the U.S. market. The new Bavaria soon replaced the 1971 2500 and 2800 models. The Bavaria is generally considered the forebear of the modern BMW high-performance sedan as it combined excellent acceleration, good fuel economy, plenty of room for four people and a large trunk. The majority of them were sold with a four-speedmanual transmission, reflecting the sedans sporting nature.Road & Trackmagazine called the later Bavaria delightful and superb, concluding that it was one of the world's best buys.Documentation includes original owners manual, original troubleshooting guide and service record, BMW dealer service records and copy of original certificate of title.Competition to this car in 1971 included Buicks Centurion sedan, Chryslers New Yorker Hardtop Sedan, Mercedes-Benzs 300 SEL 3.5 and Mercurys Marquis Brougham.By BMW 3.0S vin numbers (3100001 to 31300001 for 3.0S 1972 models) this car #3100224 is technically a 1972 BMW but the state of New Mexico titled it as a 1971 because it was purchased and titled by December 8th 1971.

om BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke, allmänt känt som BMW, har en rik historia som sträcker sig tillbaka till grundandet 1916. Ursprungligen etablerat som en flygmotortillverkare under första världskriget, ställdes BMW inför restriktioner när det gällde flygplansproduktion efter kriget. Som svar på detta skiftade företaget 1923 fokus till motorcykeltillverkning, vilket markerade början av deras deltagande inom bilindustrin. Därefter inträdde BMW i bilvärlden 1928 genom att producera DIXI, i huvudsak en licensierad version av Austin 7 från Austin Motor Company.

Under 1930-talet började BMW etablera sig som tillverkare av eleganta och högpresterande fordon. En framstående modell från denna tid är BMW 327, som introducerades 1937. 327 fanns tillgänglig som både coupé och cabriolet och visade företagets engagemang för lyx och stil. Dessutom nådde BMW framgångar inom sportbilsracing under denna period, särskilt med modellen BMW 328. BMW tävlade med 328 i olika racingevenemang, inklusive det prestigefyllda Mille Miglia, där företaget introducerade flera aerodynamiska specialmodeller.

Efterkrigstiden var utmanande för BMW, och företaget stod inför ekonomiska svårigheter som nästan ledde till konkurs. Trots detta lyckades BMW återhämta sig och återuppbygga sig, och blev så småningom en av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.

När 1960-talet rullade in befäste BMW ytterligare sitt rykte som tillverkare av sportiga och lyxiga fordon. År 1968 introducerades BMW 2002 och markerade födelsen av "New Class" av kompakta, sportiga sedaner. 2002 blev populär för sitt smidiga hantering och prestanda och lade grunden för BMW:s sportiga image.

I och med 1970-talet utvidgade BMW sitt sortiment med introduktionen av plattformen E9, som inkluderade den ikoniska BMW 3.0 CS-coupén. E9-serien visade BMW:s engagemang för att kombinera prestanda och lyx. År 1972 gjorde M1, BMW:s första mittmotordrivna sportbil, sin debut. M1 utvecklades ursprungligen som en tävlingsbil men blev senare också en bil för allmän väg. M1 lade grunden för BMW:s högpresterande M-serie.

Mot slutet av 1970-talet introducerades BMW E24 6-serien och erbjöd en kombination av lyx och prestanda. 6-serien inkluderade modeller som 630CS, 633CSi och 635CSi och blev en symbol för sofistikering och körglädje.

Genom dessa milstolpar och en satsning på innovation och prestanda har BMW utvecklats till en gigant inom bilindustrin och behåller sin status som ett av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.
