The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[MTiz]

I saw that 23k mile ILB ZCP car in person the final day of auction at a local cars and coffee here in Sacramento. Thing was absolutely flawless but $56k was definitely the right number imo

It's simply amazing what a color combination does for these cars. That's what I noticed way back in '09 when I was looking. Imola or Cinnamon always jumped off the page. Then people decided only track car spec with a 6MT mattered. I missed that meeting -- I had already purchased.

🤣😂

If you're going to bid on one, let me suggest you get one with a real color combo. You'll see that more often than you'll track the car.

Gawd, the BaT Q&A makes me cringe thinking I may need to sell mine on there someday. Big spread in this market for sure. If I could do a slicktop and manual cloth seat conversion on mine, it would be perfect to me.

This spec is $$$

That 2004 LSB is wild, I live 10 minutes from that guy and I've never seen it on the road. Looks like he took pics down near Fort Ord in Monterey, the highway has that white sand with those specific types of plants.

[Gt4]

My guess is that LSB will be new highest E46 M3 ever sold on bat. It should do +90k with that spec

I read your post and was like, no way, WTF...then I checked the current bid to $70k, with 7 days to go.. You might be close!

I think it will go for 100k+. Would not be surprised if EAG scoops it up for 150. You just don't come across last year LSB with sub 50k in 6spd anymore... let alone with 2 owner, clean title and cinnamon/imola interior.

[Slideways]

I'm amazed that the first owner was bold enough to choose that spec and color combo in 2004. Based off the two M3s a friend of mine leased between 2000 and 2006, it was always about having all the options and a sensible color combo that was not smurf blue lol.

because afaik he hasn't owned the car long. more of a flip as he got it for a deal. this is my understanding from some insider info. could be wrong.

[maw1124]

Definitely a flip. I disregard the second owner. Probably only titled it so it wouldn't hurt bidding or complicate a sale. But like I said, the car jumps off the page.

It'll still deliver a $40k driving experience. The rest is for low miles and color so you'll pay double for that? The Beanie Babies comment is dead on and hilarious.

[BlueBimmers]

Wow, almost a page of comments already on LSB/cinnamon. You guys are on it. Such an "inside baseball" car per my comment.

"Is your car rare?" "No - but with that color and options it is!" "But still the same car right?" "Yes, but...

This spec has boomer buyer/someone flipping a rare find all over it.
No offense to our boomers, they keep the value of our vehicles high, but this is out of my non-boomer budget.
