BMW New Six Sedan - E3 (1968 to 1977)

The BMW New Six range of sedans was introduced in 1968. This series of cars is also known as the E3. A precursor to the 7 Series, the E3 were full size luxury cars, all fitted with a variant of the BMW M30 inline six engine. Notable variants of the E3 include the 3.0 S and the 3.3 Li. It is common to find some E3 variants referred to as "Bavaria," this is a nickname given to a series of U.S market cars that featured the larger and more power engine available, but were produced in a lower level of trim. Built until 1977, the New Six range of cars was replaced by the E23 BMW 7 Series.
