Good luck with the sale :thumbup:
|
nice looking car, GLWS
|
Nice looking! Good luck :cool:
|
yeah - Nice looking. I didn't think I'd say that - but these are sure a ton better than the 'early' Bangle 5-series... Dame Edna and all....
This is a very attractive package - 6 speed... and the rest. GLWS |
Thanks everyone. There is some room in the price, I doubt the market is very liquid on this. That said, I have the room to keep it so not a fire sale by any means. I think it had been on the market a few months when I bought it off the Roundel. BMWCCA is likely my best best. f10 forum has traffic but there are tons of less maintained cars dropping values across the board.
Questions for the cognoscenti: - Should I revert the engine back to stock? I will of course disclose that the car was mapped for a few k miles. - Bring a Trailer... That's usually better for older or more unique cars, but then again a large RWD sedan that's comfy and 6-speed.... Not too many of these. So that might be an option if I don't get much action over the next month or two. |
The only reason to put it back to stock is if you aren’t going to disclose. :p

I think you'd do well there, honestly, given your attention to detail, knowledge of the car, and the fact that this is a rare spec (and well cared for), but you'd have to be mentally ready to invest the time. I would list it there if I were you, just for the hell of it. This is a unique opportunity to own an interesting and versatile car, and I've been trying to figure out how to make it work in my plans...but so far, haven't. |
Awesome. I similarly kind of wish this made sense for me. It just doesn’t right now though. Good luck!

Do you have a link to this ad elsewhere? I have some people I'd like to send it to, but don't want them nosing around here.

It actually gets a real 27mpg on the highway, which gives it great range, 500mi almost. A neighbor (or more like the landlord of a neighbor, I see him so little) sold an e24 m6 or 635CSi, not sure which, on BaT. He said it was sooo much trouble. I'm waiting for an easier sale and then I'll go through with it. This is not a super cream puff, not close to the condition of my LSB e46 m3. |
I will update the ad with more minutiae... In the meantime, two more things:
I had front sides tinted to 50%, rears 35% Oil & filter @ 1.8k, 8.5k, 16k, 22k, 24k, 31k, 36k, 40k, 45k, 50k, 55k |

I have fond memories of my f10 and yours is pretty much the best version of an f10. Kind of tempted but my wife won’t drive stick. They’re still great looking sedans imo.
One thing I don’t remember is that extra cup holder in the center console. Was the a stick only thing? Mine had a small covered change tray there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I don't know this market at all but that seems like a steal to me. Someone here should buy it!
I wouldn't lower the price. This car is too rare. Unless you're in a hurry, leave it high and wait. A buyer will come along. |

Well, it's not the *best* version. it's not an m-sport, so it doesn't have the appearance package bumpers. Quote:

Car looks great, wish I had a need, but I might need surgery on my left toe very soon. Clutch would be an issue through rehab GLWS! |
Did you end up selling this?

FWIW, the quick sale number is $16k - but I'm not publicizing that everywhere because every buyer will want some off the asking. I have noticed some light shakes on braking, likely front LCA's, as I did the brakes. Hence the reduction as I don't plan on doing that.
|
Goddamn, another car is the last thing I need right now but for that price I'm tempted to buy it. :lol:
How has this not sold yet? How has this not sold yet to JST as a Golf R replacement? |
It’s extremely tempting.
|
Just think of it as 4 clutch replacements. :speechle:

I'm not going to lower any further. At some point, I'll detail/clean further, take more pictures and go on BaT. |

Sees you may have found your niche here! |
Roundel screwed up. June just arrived and it's not listed, even as I paid. Grrr, dropping to $16k.
|
Arg! That's unfortunate.
Is it in all the BMW forums? I would think this would be gone at that price. |
I see the Roundel listing (on-line).
Too bad about missing the printed version.... :( |

A month after I sold the Porsche I got two emails from people who saw the ad in the printed Panorama (?) magazine. It took forever to appear.
PS who are these people who buy cars by looking at printed ads only? |
Quote:
...kind of like BaT. |
Quote:
1. Those actively looking for something special or interesting, but not narrowly specific. "I want a restomod 60s muscle car." Or "I want really cool Porsche." 2. Those passively looking for something for something kind of specific and BaT is one of the places they regularly check but don't need to buy something right now. "I want a bone stock E38 M5." Maybe I'm totally wrong. :dunno: Agree completely with your magazine buyer assessment. |

Just an FYI, some guy replied to your listing at the fest.

The (very likely) buyer is from Maine, came down to the area yesterday. Should be all done today. As soon as he showed serious interest (older Brit looking for a large, manual sedan on BMWCCA), others started pinging. $16k asking is definitely the somewhat unfortunate price point. If he backs out last minute; my call back waiting list that formed over last week is 7 deep (now 8 deep). |
That’s too bad about the price; that’s a lot of car for that money.
|
SOLD.
|
Congrats. That was a nice car for the money.
