BMW 7-Serie E3 3.0 Li, 1977. Two owners, 34,249 km, service books
from new.
On a crisp winter's day in Switzerland, the 21st of February 1977,
the first owner of this majestic BMW 3.0 litre saloon collected his
new car from the dealer. Finished in the enchanting shade of BMW
Fjord, with a stylish blue interior, this was no ordinary motor
car. It was a symbol of luxury, power and progress. Today this car,
a true rolling museum piece, stands gleaming in the showroom of
HooG Selections in Katwijk, ready to be admired and driven. We
brought this beautiful E3 to the Netherlands all the way from
Switzerland.
After a period in which BMW withdrew from the top segment, the
marque returned in full glory with the introduction of the BMW E3
3.0 litre sedan. This luxurious saloon, powered by a mighty
six-cylinder engine producing 180 bhp, was launched with high
expectations as a rival to Mercedes-Benz. The car was originally
fitted with a self-levelling system, later simplified due to
technical unreliability. Even so, the 3.0 litre remained a success
story and was swiftly followed by the popular BMW 2500 with its 2.5
litre engine. Ultimately, this evolution led to the introduction of
the very first BMW 7 Series in 1977.
The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as
well. 60 photographs including the underside. The service history,
scanned in full. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The
original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 21
February 1977 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by
year in a single graph.
