1974 BMW Bavaria PRICE DROP

Recommended Posts

Price: $5000
Location: Wisconsin


Description:

This is a 1974 BMW Bavaria barn find, was sitting since 1989 until 2016 (where it sat again until now). We have a sale paper from 1978 from the dealership in Racine which is still shown on the back of the car.

Four years ago the barn finder sold it to his close friend for him to fix up. He never got around to it, so we picked it up from him. We began working on it but our novice skills were not good enough for some of the repairs so we took it to Marks Motor Mechanic in Walworth.

The car has new
Steel brake lines
Tires
Brake pads (front and rear)
Brake calipers (front and rear)
Fuel filter
Spark plugs
Wire set
ATF fluid
Trans pan and gasket
Weber carburetors
Differential fluid
Oil and oil filter
Brake fluid and booster hose
Intake manifold gaskets
Exhaust system (very quiet)
Starter
Wipers
Fuel Lines
Vacuum lines
Battery terminals
Tail lamp bulb
Brake fluid
Wheel bearing seals
Water pump
Upper and lower radiator hoses
Radiator
Valve cover gasket
Drive belts
Thermostat and seal
Ignition switch
Electric Fuel Pump
Re Upholstered Seats

Other things noted:
Fuel tank was drained, cleaned, and flushed.
Engine Compression:
#1: 165 #2: 165 #3: 162 #4: 173 #5: 165 #6: 175

The mechanical fuel pump broke and at the time new ones were not available. We had someone hook up an electric fuel pump that is controlled by a switch. If this is not preferred it could easily be removed and gone back to stock, but the fuel pump works quite well. This car is a really really nice driver, and also pretty fast. I think the the paint is original, but it might have been gone over. Looks like someone tried to make it look nice but failed with the buffer and they made some bad marks on the hood. Car needs a nice detail. There are also very tiny bubbles on the car that are noticeable up close. It is a 5 footer.

The interior is nice. The dash does have cracks, and the seats are original but we had the foam replaced and they are very comfortable. Everything works such as dome light, the warning signals for when the doors are open or when someone does not buckle their seat belts.

Have any questions please ask! Do not hesitate to offer or message me!

Thank You

Pretty decent E3.  Is the paint original? Rust bubbles any where on the paintwork (judging by the underside, I would think none)? How does the 3 speed slush-box work?

I believe it is original but it could have been repainted. There are some rust bubbles yes. I can send pictures if you need them. The automatic actually works very well.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
