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

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.

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:

Agreed on all accounts.

The wiring mess in the drug bin made me cringe...

Is it because there isn't a French language version of the site?

Yup…

I'll wake this up. This was a nice CSL with quality mods that lost $15K due to relist. Buyer got good deal IMO: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...3-coupe-140-2/

This isn’t an E46 but has an S54… I’ve seen and heard it driven around and always wondered about it.

IMO, this is one of those cars where the seller could have spent another $2k fixing miscellaneous stuff (gauges, interior knick-knacks, driver seat, head unit, washer reservoir, etc) and probably made $10k on the other end.

Looks clean overall tho.

What was the final price on this? You stole it if it went for 27k. The tamper dot and lack of big 3 must have scared people away.

$27.5k w/o any BaT fees since the reserve wasn’t met! I think the market is softening and the car needed a few things right away like tires. But agreed that I got a good deal. Believe the reserve was $30k.

The car does have the Besian VANOS system (have receipts) and had the rod bearing recall done in 04, but could probably due with a refresh for good measure.

Overall the car is very clean and based on the paperwork I have on it, doesn’t seem to have any mileage discrepancies. There are a few things it needs, mostly due to age and not being drive much over the last few years. My mechanic was impressed with its overall condition.
