SUMMARY
One of the finest examples of BMW's super-smooth, straight-six 'Sharknose' available, with a shade under 50,000 warranted miles and recently serviced .
DESCRIPTION
- An original, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of the elegant Paul Bracq-designed 3.4-litre E24, powered by BMW's sonorous 215bhp M30 straight-six with a smooth 4-speed automatic gearbox
- Epitomising style and mechanical prowess when they arrived on the motoring scene in 1976, these beautiful coupés will always stand the test of time with the ability to 'wow' anywhere
- This beautiful example was supplied new by Alec Norman (Garage) Ltd. of Bedford on the 29/05/1987 in Zinnoberrot with a black leather interior
- The well-stamped service book received its 20th entry on the 06/02/2025 and the odometer reading is a mere 49,972 miles (atoc)
- Patently well cared for and lavished with attention in recent years, the car benefits from a stainless steel exhaust fitted some 1,000 miles ago
- Previously in long-term storage, the car’s detailed history file incudes some 24 MOTs, and the tool kit is present
- Professionally detailed and freshly serviced for the auction, despite the lack of road miles, this is a very special motor car.
