Unfamiliar Bimmer
Some times one notices what isn't there more than what is. Last night, while walking my dogs around the neighborhood, I realized that a deteriorating BMW that had been sitting in a yard for several years is no longer there. I always wondered about this car because it didn't look like any other I've every seen. It obviously had been a very good looking car before it started to fall apart. It it looked like a 70s vintage Bavaria Two Door Hard Top but had no identifiying lettering or numbering on it. I'd thought about stopping and asking if it was for sale, but, I didn't want to get into a project car.
Does anyone know what this particular Bimmer might have been? |

Maybe a 2002 or bavaria models.

The only coupes from that vintage would be either a 6-series ('76 to '89), or the "CS" series ('68 to '75). They shared appearance with the Bavaria, and had the same running gear.
Why not stop and ask the neighbor?

So.... the car was sitting for years and now that its gone you're asking the forum to take a guess at what model it was? Good luck!
