The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[PSUEng]

My friend has an LCI tiag, 2004, 6 spd slicktop with imola interior with 65k we're hoping it fetches a good amount. Rather a LCI slicktop over 2002 sunroof even if it has 40k fewer miles.

I guess the low milegage premium is still going strong, presumable for bragging rights, cause I don't know what the difference is between 27k and 65k both will need sorting out at this point in time.

I agree, one is ultimately dealing with time-based failures on both. Personally, I see some ultra-low mileage with 20yrs on the clock, and I think that in and of itself may present more problems--many only an astute observer will find--to deal with. A moderately driven but very well maintained example could be a better buy, unless one just wants bragging rights like you say.

My car is one such example. 2003, 86k, coupe, 6sp manual--Carbon black on black leather, sunroof (read: nothing special). Exceptionally maintained IMO as Iv'e owned it since 27k (2007). At one point I was going to sell it, maybe two years ago so I call EAG as I'm somewhat local and they tell me that isn't a car they really buy; too many miles. Ok. FFWD to now, I'm keeping it, and it's had more work than almost anything I see on BaT just in upkeep. My point is, does the market value low miles, or maintenance? Hard for me to tell.

PDC warts made me chuckle, thanks. The color combo looks nice, I think silver shows off the details of the car very well and the interior is nearly mint. Kinda odd the peeling of the passenger door trim with only 24k miles. Is that common of that style trim? I've only ever had the ZCP aluminum in my e46s

Imagine paying $50k for a pre LCI tiag with sunroof and PDC warts

In fairness I can't imagine paying a large premium for a color, but in this case I believe it is the color combo and relatively low mileage driving the premium. I'm not paying that premium, but a fool and his money are soon parted.

I say this all the time, but it fails to register in most people's brain. There is special version of our car. It is called a CSL, and we didn't get it. The end.

Not e46 m3 related on BAT, but I think everyone will get a kick out of this.

Let’s see what this one does from here.

Is EAG still around??

maw

EDIT… yes, and they only have 2 E46M

Seems odd that the trim pieces on the ZCP have been swapped out

It's not THAT weird. I swapped mine out within 6 months of buying my M3 when it was new. I didn't care for the "cube" pattern

Yea so for anyone who is wondering, those custom headers have to be Burns Stainless, Jack Burns is one of the most talented exhaust fabricators on the west coast.

I like car auction sites, enjoy them as resources, but man, the comment sections are truly full of some of the dumbest humans walking this planet. A car has more modifications than Madonna's face and then "will it pass smog?". No you dumb f$c$, it isn't going to pass smog.

The slowest of slow horses…

maw
