The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

Beautiful color and IMO, for a car not doing daily work, go for it. Otherwise, IMO, that can create tricky complications. My wife and I ordered a new X5 this past summer and we almost went for an Individual color but for various reasons (one was cost, but it wasn't the top deciding factor), decided against it. One thing that I was stuck on was paint availability/pre-painted parts availability. A quick check on my local dealers' parts site, and I couldn't even get a touch up paint set for the color we were considering. That, and I also thought, future bodywork might be a tricky thing. If I'm wrong, I'd love some correction from some people experienced with these special colors.

My X3M is an individual British Racing Green and IND had no trouble providing a painted wing and reflectors.

Also, I foolishly did not PPF this car, so I have a couple rock chips on the front bumper... l plan to have the front bumper resprayed next year and I'll PPF it then. But, I also know a good bodyshop. They assured me they can match the paint no problem.

Agreed, the previous listing did a much better job capturing the color. Looks fantastic on an E38 as well.

Here's a really great example of why you need good photography for your auction. Awesome car with a super rare and cool color, and it just fucking looks grey in half the photos.

Located in Bucharest Romania, be right back, brushing up on Romanian comps and reaching out to my contacts there... or not.

That is a really nice build but yea, I don't see that thing selling for a hundred grand. But maybe I'm just poor.

I assume this will hit BaT sooner than later, but figured we could talk about it now.

This is an extremely nice build. But with that many miles, I don't see it getting close to 6 figures.

All those things can be fixed/replaced. People buying these are likely not afraid of those costs. Plus this car is likely going to just be parked and not driven is my guess.

I was just commenting because I found that interesting, to be able to order that way. Not a put down at all.

Can we just enjoy cars together ? Making it personal and insulting is not very constructive…

Agreed.
