As regards the E3 flagship model 3.3 Li/LiA, the following cars were built:
BMW 3,3 Li: 477 cars between 1/74-7/75
BMW 3,3 LiA: 702 cars between 1/75-1/77
BMW 3,3 LiA RHD: 222 cars between 10/75 - 2/77
Some very nice color combos exist: Red met/White or Beige leather, Red met/Black leather, Black met/White or Beige leather, Dark blue met/White leather etc. The Swedish pop group ABBA drove a 3,3 LA in Dark blue met with White leather. They kept the car until 1984 when it was sold to a BMW freak in Sweden...
Normally the cars were fully equipped (power steering, power windows, power mirror(s), rear reading lights, front fog lights, automatic antenna etc). Options, to pay for, were the following:
- Leather seats
- Power sunroof
- A/C
- Tow bar
- Various car stereos (normally Blaupunkt Bamberg with micro)
The price new of the 3,3 Li/LiA versions were the following (DM):
LiA: 42 960 (8/75)
Li/LiA: 44 900 (5/76)
LiA: 44 900 (8/76)
Interesting to note is that the CSL had a price tag of 42 260 DM in 8/75
The Li/LiA is very nice to drive and it's more and more appreciated. As there are so few of them, the prices are instantly rising. Experts predict the Li/LiA to be a real collectors car, with a very rapid price evaluation towards the north. I wld not be surprised if we see top cars priced about 100k euro within the mid-term future.
