Which BMW dealership 1974 No. Calf.

[randerson]

Is there anyway to find out which dealer ship sold your car in 1974?

I know it was inported by Hoffman, but who was the selling dealer?

I believe it was sold in the San Francisco area. I would like to have a vintage license plate holder made.

Thank you.

let's start a list of dealerships, shall we?

Mill Valley Imports (currently known as Sonnen and at new location)

Peter Pan Motors

Weber Motors

the one in berkeley who's name escapes me at the time

actually, if you have access to an old service manual i think all the dealerships of the day are listed.

Weathorford in Berkeley sold LOTS....

[JLA]

Maybe Leif Lindzen Motors in Berkeley. My car was purchased from them in 1968.

If you are lucky enough to find the original owners manual in the Glove box, the stamp from the original dealership might be on the service records page.

Folk lore has it that the Hoffman building that had more detailed records burned down.

I to would love to know where my 73 and 67 originated.

Good Luck

My manual doesn't have a place to record when service was done, only the instructions for the "BMW Program test" periods.

I have a Service Locations booklet, but it doesn't have anything stamped on/in it.

If you are lucky enough to find the original owners manual in the Glove box, the stamp from the original dealership might be on the service records page.

How about BMW Autozentrum in San Rafael

After asking the question I started Googling and found what might be the oldest dealer near where my car came from.

German Motors, Inc. 1240 Post Street Van Ness, Ca. was the dealer

in the 60,70.80 be for the owners changed the name to

BMW of San Francisco.

My 75 came from Allison Bavarian Motors in Sunnyvale, found in owners manual and stamped in the cool pewter BMW keychain that came with the car.

My car was bought new from Weber Motors in San Leandro, CA. I currently sport a BMW Autozentrum license plate frame. They were in San Rafael, CA

Palo Alto BMW was also a major player back in the day.

i thought that BMW mobile tradition could provide the history of your car e.g. build date, options, and i thought the importing destination dealer. does anyone know who took over Hoffmans remaining business/corporate records?

it mighht be worth chasing them down if thet still exisit.
