The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

[Mr. Wolfe]

I am not un-modding any serious mods on the car. It is true perfection and I won't change it. If it brings less, so be it.

Wolfe don’t you have widened ZCP wheels ?? you should list that and post pix of it on bat. It’s something I’m looking to do for my E92. Do you still have details of the whole project ? I remember seeing a post on M3F

Yes, my wheels are widened to 19x9 and 19x11. I had a build journal for probably 10 years on the old forum.

Mr. Wolfe

Those are really good quality mods — hope it goes to someone that appreciates it, and doesn’t resell it stripped.

I was a bit puzzled by that as well. A couple interior pieces were missing (plastic around the roof mechanism) but nothing serious. Interior was a bit tired for the miles but they all are. Car got punished.

Never seen bamboo, might possibly be worse than drab gray holy shit.

I've got it, it's nice. Novillo leather is nicer than nappa too.

It looked pretty greasy in that pic so 🤷♂️

I think the interior color and replaced engine/tranny hurt it. I think the E92 blues only look good on black. I dont like them on red interior either. But on the E46 IB goes well with Cinnamon/IR too

This is a very impressive finish. More than twice the previous high bid.

I am such a sucker for a M5. The E60 is a dream, but I think it loses its full glory in black or white.

Also, for 10k miles and all these other low mileage cars, why are the interiors showing so much wear, scuffs, scratches, etc. It was obviously a secondary car or garage queen to be such low mileage examples and the interior just doesn't reflect it.

What I don't understand is why these sellers of low mileage cars don't invest $500-$1000 and replace all of the interior touch points.

I can provide some insight into how this happens as I've got a friend who falls into this category. He has money, lots of it (and he is the one who earned it). The cars literally sit in his garage and never get cleaned (ever). Drives them occasionally with zero concern about what he throws in them, on them, or around them. Just objects he enjoys from time to time with no thought before or beyond the current moment. He is super busy running a business and raising a family so the cars just don't concern him. When he tires of a car he sells it as is, dirt and all, no matter how expensive it is/was and I don't think I've ever seen him keep a car beyond 5k to 10k miles. Sometimes I envy his ability to ignore stuff.
