Two days left on Ed's (Sharp11) E46 330

I think the miles are hurting this auction (so far)

I hope it finishes strong for him on Thursday

And if MM_071421 comment is correct, it appears that this convertible/color/interior/MT combo makes it a 1 of 6 made (or imported) car!

There are no pictures taken outside in natural light.

Not a positive feature of the presentation in the auction... IMO.

Even if the majority of the pics are of the car inside - there needs to be some showing it as it would be outside where it will spend 98% of its time - that is especially true of colors that shift with different light. Calypso and Carbon Black come to mind especially....

Totally agree, those pictures pretty much show nothing about the cars paint. Every car has scratches, chips, etc. In those pictures the paint looks fake/perfect. Even the interior looks like it is perfect and I know no matter how careful you are there are going to be imperfections.

It's not Ed's fault because obviously he is depending on the dealer to handle it but I see a lot of dealers who sell a lot on the internet use this type of set up to take pictures. It really isn't fair to the buyer who is buying site unseen.

Also in the description I do not see any imperfections listed ...

Closed at $21,300 ... not a bad number but I wonder how much has to be paid to the dealer

I have to imagine this is quite slow, but it looks pretty

For the millionth time one of my all time fav blues.

that is pretty, nice cosmetic upgrades to make the most of the e36 touring which is not my favorite.
