I saw that a few days ago when the bidding was MUCH less ... yikes! But it’s a beautiful car, I’m sure yours will look amazing when it’s done.

Love that color. Awesome shape too.
It was 10 miles from where I live. Saw it a couple of times. Really nice car. My car will be (more or less) in about that shape when it is done. But - I will have an M90 motor whereas he did not (although he as real Alpina wheels - I have copies). According to my E9 expert (who knows the red car) - he thinks my car should be worth more than this (once mine is done) - due to the motor.
But - who knows. While there is a very visible trend on these cars going up in value substantially - unless I sell mine, it is all an academic discussion.

I didn't see that auction, but I know I have seen that car a few times down by the "old" section of Snohomish, by the antique shops.

Oh, and I don't remember it looking this nice. The restoration must have been during the past two years

Close ups of the front and rear bumpers aren’t even that clean. Color and receipts for th3 work done I suppose.
