vin says 226... that's not a late model CSi, if it were it would have a 434 vin and be much more interesting IMO
actually Don, i am 95% sure that coupe is still for sale ... buyer has decided he has too much on his plate. that being said, the coupe Don is speaking about has a little surface rust on the primer in a few places (i have seen detailed wheel well and under carriage photos). it supposedly comes with a new getrag 5 speed (in a crate - that is worth some real money), it has reconditioned gauges, and a lot of new parts. buyer was asking 12k, but if it goes to ebay he will probably want 15k. the car is in the midwest. this is not being placed here as an ad for sale to compete with this thread ... only for a little more detail for a point of comparison ... and since Don mentioned it. selling / buying a dismantled coupe is not for the faint of heart.I just finished working with buyer and seller on a 74 needing paint but no body work plus complete re-assembly. Came with spare 5 speed and euro bumpers.
Very few buyers for a big project like this. You are looking at big money and lots of time.
Going price as of last week for that kind of deal was 10k.
the other offers were less.
somebody can send the VIN to bmwarchiv and find out. i suspect that the importer got the year wrong with the DMV.

Were there ANY CSi cars made in 1973?
LHD? Acc. to that website, none.
From the current Ebay listing for a 73 CSi; "According to BMW in Germany, this car left the factory on May 15, 1973"
Pretty sure they built 73's right up to the 74' switch over... likely after the October break.
It doesn’t skip anything, the first 6,506 plus second 1,429 are combined for the numbers by year at the bottom. The thru 12/72 heading is misleading however.
