The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

Interestingly it was initially delivered to BMW Performance Center in Greer. Does this mean someone spec'd this this way and took delivery there? Though the colors are standard, you don't see many in this combo.

It would appear so.

I love Imola paint and I also like Cinnamon leather but on the same car? Barf... 🤮

Isn't this BMW's version of the famous Ferrari combo? No louder than Imola/Imola in my book, which I've seen up close and it works somehow.

Agreed. Wonder what those individuals were thinking when they specced the cars that way? I feel like BMW shouldn't have even allowed it. I know it sounds very communist of me but damn... some of those combos are truly horrible.

What you don't mix cinnamon and paprika together in recipes?

[Tbonem3]

Lol

True, cinn is more pumpkin colored. Not as bad as the superman combos imo or mustard (PY) and ketchup (imola)

Like Melbourne e9x with bamboo.

It's appreciated on a Ferrari and other top classics, but ya it does seem a bit odd on an M3.

That wagon you just posted was red/brown as well lol

Yah but Japan red and Natural brown actually make for nice contrast - a la Ferrari.

Imola and Cinnamon - not so much...

Yeah.. I wouldn't touch that car with a 10 foot pole.

For some contrast, check out this ZHP wagon that just sold on CarsAndBids - https://carsandbids.com/auctions/98O...w-325i-touring

While it doesn't have an S54 and went for a lot more than I'd be willing to pay, it's a really well sorted and fully rebuilt car - I'd take it over that S54 325xi any day.

Good fuck 'em

I can't believe they didn't bother to clean a car like this before posting but I'm sure it won't matter. That steering wheel has to go though.

Truly an awful build, I've heard this thing on Instagram and it sounds worse than a stock E46 M3. The owner is honestly a big poser. Lang Racing did some of the work on it and it's got a Kassel tune so of course it's not really well sorted.

If this thing goes above $40k it shows what a joke Bringatrailer has become. This thing in no way shape or form is more sorted or worthy than a well-built $40k E46 M3 coupe, and in many ways probably inferior in build quality.

I feel bad for the unwitting purchaser of this mickey mouse built wagon. 😅

The body / panel gaps.. yikes.

Here's the build on that car, I believe:
