Don't believe was a US-spec BMW(lacks side-markers),but a 2500/2800 CKD-made by locally-based-in South-Africa's plant of BMW in Rosslyn-Pretoria into Seventies PS Other BMW assembled in South-Africa into Seventies were: --1804/2004--an hybrid got mixing 02-series engines on a 02-locally-modified coque that had got 2 doors of more(1804=1.8 lt.,4 doors)and a front nose with quad round headlamps,while of two units of European 02-Series(were in 1974 the replacement of older BMW 1800 SA/2000 SA--ex-Glas 1700 body with BMW 02-Series engines) |

Quite correct, datsunz - I'm impressed! There was also a top-of-range 3000S (a geriatric teacher of mine had one - what a waste!), which I suspect this is, looking at the little of what one can see on the bootlid. |

Looks to me like the 1804 Cheetah. Built in Rhodesia, a car builder manufactured the Cheetah body and put the 1804, 2002 & 2004 BMW engines in their body. This deal worked out well all round expense-wise. It was sold throughout Sub-Saraha Africa, but mainly to South Africa. I owned a green 1972 BMW Cheetah like this one - my first car. I blew the motor because it lent itself to a heavy foot and I didn't keep my eye on the oil levels. Cost me A LOT to repair, but was worth every cent. Excellent power-to-weight ratio which as an under 25-year old, I exploited to the full. Poor car! |

sorry, but i must change the car typ in "unknown [E3]" (think its a 2500) I don't can find any BMW 1800SA/2000SA, BMW 1804/2004 or BMW Cheetah on the pics ![]() (BMW 1800SA/2000SA, BMW 1804/2004 and BMW Cheetah base all on the Glas 1700 with 4cyl. BMW Engine) Link to "de.wikipedia.org" |

The built in flag should also be deleted, since it's now unknown. |

As long as BMW remains as the Maker, the Germany flag automatically appears. |

It's a German car and a BMW [E3] anyways, it's just the question, if it's a ZA-assembled version. I thought before, that the [E3] was also made there, but Ralph must know it better. |

1968-71 for pillar vents. I think this is a flipped photo - grille has script badge for 2800 which should be on the other side - RHD first appeared in UK Aug 69. So 69/70 2800. |
