Interior:

There are no noticeable flaws to be found on the interior as it was completely restored in 2013. The leather seats are freshly rebuilt and in exceptional condition, soft with no marks, tears or flaws, they are firm and comfortable. The carpet, dash, headliner, console, steering-wheel, shifter, door panels and the rest of the interior are excellent. All gauges, lights, radio, sun-roof, power windows, locks and interior features work.

Exterior:

On the exterior, the Fjord color paint shines as it should. Though not easily noticeable by most people, there are some small flaws holding this car back from being a #1 car. ’74 more than likely will be the nicest antique or classic BMW at the local car cruise/show. The 1974 3.0 CSI itself is very rare and the chances of seeing another in general will be slim, let alone in the US.
