Presented in the stunning combination of Anthracite Grey Metallic over black leather, this BMW E3 3.3L is a wonderfully preserved example of the marque’s original executive saloon — a car that laid the foundation for the legendary 7 Series. Offering a perfect blend of luxury, engineering excellence and timeless design, this rare 3.3L variant represents the very top of BMW’s model range in the mid-1970s.

Powered by a smooth and capable 3.3-litre straight-six engine paired to an automatic transmission, the E3 3.3L delivers refined performance and an effortlessly composed driving experience. Power steering and excellent weight distribution provide a surprisingly engaging feel from behind the wheel, while the advanced engineering of the era gives this saloon a genuine sporting edge.

What truly sets this car apart is its exceptional specification, which includes:

  • Factory-fitted air conditioning, a rare and desirable option at the time
  • Electric steel sunroof and electric windows, adding usability and comfort
  • Rear headrests for additional passenger refinement
  • Genuine walnut veneer trims, adding warmth and sophistication to the cabin
  • Original BMW alloy wheels, a seldom-seen and highly sought-after detail

The interior presents beautifully, with high-grade leather upholstery that has aged gracefully and factory finishes throughout that speak to careful ownership. The car is accompanied by a complete set of original handbooks and service books, alongside a detailed history file documenting its provenance and maintenance.

As one of the last and most luxurious variants of the E3 line, the 3.3L represents a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. These cars were produced in limited numbers and few remain in such original, well-preserved condition today. With values for period BMWs on the rise — particularly those from the brand’s golden era of analogue luxury — this example offers a compelling combination of rarity, elegance, and long-term investment potential.

A beautifully engineered classic with refined character, effortless grace, and growing historical significance.
