I wish! this one is just lovely.

mine was a ratty old rust bucket PPF 22L. same colour, blue all over, with blue velour trim.

I had the misfortune to own it from '82 to '84. i sold it for the price I paid, £1500.

my old one recently passed thru Hiab's hands, small world eh?

 

 I owned PPF 22L around 1991 . It had been painted and welded to a reasonable standard but the head was in the boot , i sorted the engine out , refurbed the wheels, new tyres, brakes etc . I broke an e3 with a mint blue leather trim and had a trimmer swap the covers on to the coupe seats, it looked factory. I 'served' it to a victim for about £4500 i think. The 3.0 coupes are amongst my favourite  bmws ever, a styling masterpiece but alas they were disolving when 3 years old . The tragically low values mean it is seldom worth repairing one properly.  I still have a white csa with factory air and factory black leather, i've owned it about 15 years, it's a long sad expensive story !.

I paid for the welding!

they had to melt down the Canberra to get enough metal for the welding rods. that car was a rust bucket. I've never seen so much rust on one car. the entire outer skin of the car was made of filler, the front wings had tons of filler everywhere. more plastic than a robin reliant.

I saw it for sale at a car show around 10 years ago. some dealer had it up for around £5500 I think.

leather looked nice.

 

Just one more question:

There's an anti niose stuff on inner fenders, I can see it on th engine bay picture...

Is it again available fro BMW dealers?

I need it for my 1974 3,3L automatic ( restoration in progress...)...so I'd like to have more info...

Thank you !

Yes it could be LAPISBLAU....I did not think about non-period colours...

I can do something better, as I am a newbie of this GB forum, I post resized pics of my 635 and 3,3L and show them to everyone...

First ,the link of the old albums before I started restoration of 3,3L Automatic( it was converted in 4 speed manual years ago,when the gearbox lost the will to work, Now I'm fitting again a good ZF 3 speed auto, like Your 3,0CSautomatic.This originality-wise reconversion is due to get new licence plate, otherwise I couldn't go on open roads).

Then a picture of some time ago, when the car was ready to get the MCTC (like You MOT).

Then the picture of my 635....in Balticblau metallic...118000kms, still the awful trx, I added headlight wipers,cruisecontrol,Apex springs,a decent period radio from Becker,a Mtech 1 steering wheel, the oil cooler(nont any 635 was born with it).Cooming soon: bigger  silver stripes, Sport manual seats(BMW Sport, not Recaros,)...And a thousand kms this summer, I hope....

I'm loving the e3! Such a nice car, would like one in 3.0si guise, but space?? Oh for the space to put it!

the 20 spoke alloys(alpina style You can see in the pics album) are original( 6x14 )...Then in the other picture there are some BBS -Mahle 7x14 from a dead E12 M535i....

I use them with winter tyres.....

Thank you for Your compliments about my car....I do my best ....
