Alexander ◊ 2005-09-22 02:28	It is even older than the 5 series. It is a BMW Type E3 (1968-77). The actual name depended on the engine used: BMW 2500 – BMW 2800/2.8 L – BMW 3.0 S/L - BMW 3.0 Si – BMW 3.3 L/Li As they looked all the same from the front, just pick one. This is actually the later model (black grille). http://www.cs-zone.com/E3%20FOT40.jpg

appassionato ◊ 2006-07-15 20:02	It's a 2500.
DAF555 ◊ 2006-07-15 20:13	How do you tell? They look alike
appassionato ◊ 2006-07-15 20:15	Sorry. It's probably a 2500. (Particulars...)
