The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

He said a silver car with 15K miles sold for 40K.

You could get a professional windows out full paint job for under 20 grand. Swap the interior to M-texture for another 10.

Paying 100K for a blue E46 is just stupid.

But you know what they say... A fool and his money....

Lab diamonds shine just as good as real ones.
Always get exactly what you want. Pay double of triple the money for it. Otherwise you will be the one a year later wishing you didn't buy that silver car for $40k and got the blue one you always wanted.

You had me at 40k for an e46 m3. I wouldn’t buy an e46 m3 in this market.

Concerning LSB and our cars, even long time deeply entrenched enthusiasts are befuddled by the color thing.

At around 15:26 they comment on how its unheard of and neither can think of other cars with this kind of differentiation due to a color. They mention a purple lambo.

People pay money for things they like. If color is not an issue, you can save a lot by getting literally any other color e46 m3. I have another M car, color was very important to me, I could’ve saved a lot of time and money getting any other color, but instead it took more time and money to get it.

I'm going out on limb and say that is not a BaT car. He won't make much over the former advertised price.

I snip'd this today

Hagerty seems to think our cars are worth quite a bit.

Hagerty wants us to declare a higher value so our premiums go up.

Found the old marketplace listing - still had it in my “Saved” section

I remembered seeing this same car make the rounds on Bimmerpost and thought what a travesty it was to turbocharge an S54:

The front seats appear to have had something of a glow up along with the front bumper.

Good find. I saw this and wondered what's going on.

This car sat on my local marketplace for months back in December with multiple price cuts. Whoever bought got it detailed and took some glam shots to turn a quick profit.

The only time the LSB didn’t come at a premium was when it was released. If this car were any other color, it would be half off, or less. It is what it is.

That said, here’s another one, I guess they have an inventory on rotation. I’m not a fan of boosted cars. In my humble opinion, these cars needed to be enjoyed, not boosted…

I also don’t love the single exhaust, the wheels or the diffuser. However, those can be easily addressed.

At the end of the day, 142k mile car for $40k+ (transport, BaT fee, etc.) I may need to consider putting mine on the market if this is where the market is.

142k mile car without original engine, interior, or wheels AND multiple accident history...

I'd ditch a LSB, buy a regular color, and pocket the money before the market comes to its senses. 15-20k premium for a color...
