With the BMW 2500/2800, the Bavarian car manufacturer ventured back into the luxury car class. The series, known internally as the E3, was introduced in 1968 and remained in production until 1977. The car met with great interest, with a total of around 190,000 units being built. The magazine 'hobby' also took a look at the new Bavarian shortly after its presentation. This article reproduces the original wording of the vehicle presentation in 'hobby' and supplements it with rare historical illustrations, which also show drafts and pre-production vehicles.
2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the BMW E3 series. From today's perspective, the BMW 2500/2800 models appear to be the sensible progenitors of the modern seven-series, but back then the E3 series was a departure into a new world. And a return to the luxury class. Was the BMW 2500 really as good as everyone thought at the time? This driving report with a BMW 2500 from 1976 traces the history of the model and shows it in historical and current pictures.
