The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[02_lsb]

I was reading the comments and that is in one of the first ones they posted. As I clicked through the pics it was clearly obvious one of them was doctored, I mentioned it to a friend which is why I still have the screen shot.

You are welcome to bid, no one is stopping you. I just thought it was interesting because if they are doctoring pics can you trust the others/description? It doesn't matter to me either way, just thought it was something worth noting.

I saw that as well. You are 100% correct.

This is an enthusiasts forum. Pretty car. I have blinders on.



Totally not biased but LSB is better. 😀

you looked at 320+ pictures and that is the nicest thing you could say?

They originally posted this doctored pic in the comments where they blacked out the rust. That pic has since been deleted, but I thought it was interesting. Curious to know if this car is actually as described.

Intresting, the undoctored pic is still in the images. Definitely looks like 130k underneath, but nothing major.

Shocked no one has posted this one yet. Already up to 47k with 2 days left.

So now BaT doesn't know Cinnamon from Imola...

maw

I’m clearly in the minority here, but cinnamon is my least favorite interior.

Did you look through the pictures?

I think some of you underestimate what a build like that costs

I did, mods dont equal worth for me

Underrated platform for a "similar" experience is an N52 E90/E88. I had a 2006 e90 with the N52 before they nerfed it and I thought of it as a modern version of the E36M3 sedan. Transmission was great, I had the Euro airbox, M Performance exhaust, and the front end of the car with a square set of 255s was great. It gave me zero real problems over 5 years of daily use. The 255hp in stock trim was just enough to be fun.

If this platform really takes off and my particular car gets up in the $50k+ range I could see selling it for an easier ownership experience, great driving dynamics, and an extra $40k in my pocket.

The one to get is a stripper E82 128i with halogen headlights, slicktop, manual, no nav and only sport package. I passed on one like that 5 years ago for $7k and deeply regret it. 3050 lbs from the factory and an easy 260+ whp with the 3 stage intake manifold and software. 😓

Or whether Cost = Worth

Either way, plenty of these out there ...

I have trouble viewing any version of the car I've owned the last 15+ years as being worth $100k but I'll definitely take it if offered. Half that even.

Hell No im paying $100k for that 215k mile M3..........Just because its restored its worth $100k? Hell NO.

..

Yeah that’s probably right.

[0-60motorsports]

TLDR. I am too old to think of an e46 as an “investment”.

It is an old car that’s fun to drive.

Im with you! Exactly the same.
