Wallpaper worthy.
As for the BMW, I ran across this in searching out info on another car:
1969 to 1976 BMW E3 (2500, 2800, Bavaria, 3.0S, 3.0Si) Our own David Traver Adolphus bought himself a pair of "Senior Sixes" this past spring, for an invoice he satisfied with the change he stole out of a parking meter. Essentially the four-door version of the sexy 3.0CS, the E3 has been completely overlooked almost since the day it was launched. Maybe it was the confusing marketing scheme, which sold here as the 2500 and 2800, and then a sort of combination of the two called Bavaria, and then later, the 3.0S and Si. The E3 delivered excellent power and handling in a package that the contemporary Road & Track called "the best value on the market." The only trouble was that no one paid any attention then, and they still don't today. These days, a rusty Bavvy--which almost goes without saying, since they all rust--is almost without value. Restoring a Bavaria is a fool's errand, but who ever said that cars and rational behavior are to be spoken of in the same paragraph? Many a passing sailor has been lured onto the Bavaria's rocks by a long glance at its conservative, yet forward-looking style. Buy a good one and keep it good, because there is little in the way of aftermarket sheetmetal. CONTACT: Senior Six Registry P.O. Box 168251 Irving, Texas 75016-8251 www.seniorsix.org
