The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[02_lsb]

he’s full of doodoo. Nobody in their right mind would take a 10 grand M3 to the dealer and pay 10 grand for rod bearing service. Especially since he is in SoCal and there are many cheaper and more trustworthy options locally. At 170k, there is zero chance the RACP is intact. It’s a joke to me that bat even allows such high mileage cars. But they’re all about $$$

you mad. But yes. Yes they do[list high mile m3s]. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-bmw-m3-coupe-91/

Imagine buying a car with gray interior.

I bought mine with a gray interior, what are you trying to say bro?!

The gist of the thread continues:

if different than my car, then piece of shit and not worth anyones time, otherwise seller is an idiot/liar and buyer overpaid.

"All of the factory recalls and upgrades have been done by the dealer including the rod bearings and air bags. I just had the car serviced, the VANOS checks perfect, and the rear subframe shows no (or very minimal) signs of cracks."

How that reads to me: the rod bearings have been done once, VANOS hasn't been done, and the subframe is probably cracked(??) Am I missing something? Why would this be a $29k car considering the 177k mileage and grey interior?

Single owner and LSB seem like the two selling points.

I think the rod bearings were done as a recall, not paid for out of pocket at a dealership.

It has 4 previous owners, albeit one very long term (current owner since 2006)

I mean, I'm an idiot and I overpaid for my piece of shit car, so I think I am allowed to comment when I see someone else about to do the same.

And that’s okay!! I overpaid for two ///Moneypits that I’ve wanted as long as I can remember.

Ah, didn’t read very carefully.

I think I got a pretty decent deal on both of my M3s.

[BlueBimmers]

Time heals all. I paid more than $20K for both my M cars in 2011 and 2014. Now I look like a genius.

I paid $6300 for my M3 in January 2020 🤐 It's not perfect but very solidly maintained and treated well by the previous owner that had it 2009-2020.

Just say you stole the car.

At the rate this is going I’m likely to buy another SMG car. For $15k these cannot be beat IMO.
