The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[maw1124]

I think with the BAT crowd a lot can be said about originality too. Even knowing what Dinan is (or was) there are a lot of people on that site that would much prefer an original factory looking car, which might be why the SMG ZCP Slicktop went for 10k more. I know the Dinan upgrades are not that hard to revert back to stock, the BAT crowd is very picky...

I’ve been waiting for that DINAN 5 to take off, but it might not do so for just this reason. That one is almost worth two foot driving.

Low mileage convertibles are bringing in 50k plus. A Dinan S2 in silver grey with only 9k more miles brings in 6k less than the vert from a few days ago, that I wouldn't have predicted even with the cool color combo on the vert. Things are a little wacky right now, not that I don't think this convertible is worthy, but predicting where something lands is tough unless it is an LSB with low miles or ZCP, slicktop, and manual.

I think 55k is fair for convertible . Low mileage and great color combo - hard to find. DINAN S2 should get the same money in my opinion .

doesn’t look like it and this is a low mile s2 car.

That surprised me as well. Where the Cars&Bids Mystic/Cinnamon with 113K miles lands will be interesting indicator of color combos. So glad I bought my car in 2014.

Those will always be a car worth having IMO (E39M with Caramel Heritage) in any exterior color.

Hopefully those leather interior bits are still available — seat covers and armrests. If so, replace them and down the road you go.

What were the numbers on verts in the UK?

I imagine a lot less (percentage wise, total is obvious) due to the climate there 🤔

Fun fact: the UK as a whole only got a handful of Alpine White cars. I imagine they’d fetch a premium on the market over there.

I’m curious how much of a premium LHD variants get over the RHD counterpart for standard M3s. I know the gap between CSL’s has been greatly reduced. I remember when RHD CSLs were half the price of LHD counterparts. That’s gone out the window as evidenced by the first two examples that show up in inventory:

That’s $152k and $130k. I was also hearing a couple years back where people in LHD countries would buy and import RHD cars only to swap to LHD. Wild stuff. I’m sure that’s not the case anymore since prices are comparable.

Not BAT but interesting nonetheless

This Laguna Seca market is insane. The 2004 on bat with minimal maintenance just sold for $60,000.

I really, really love my car. But if I have the chance to straight swap for a GT4 I wouldn't have to think long about it lol.

AFAIC, the devaluation of currency. This will get worse, not better, and not just here.
