As to bidding on this car - No .... My automotive world is needing to stay 'stagnant' for a bit longer... E9 still not finished. Will need to pay the balance owed for that when it is. New house not moved into yet. New house shop/office building needs to be finished out. Old house not sold yet. ........ Having two mortgages are such fun. I highly recommend. NOT With the above - my finances are a bit occupied (so to speak). And, even if the $$ were there... the E38 is running great - Still - I'm keeping my eyes open. My perception is that the market has moderated a bit for these cars. Yes, the VERY top of the market is still strong, but the lesser cars seemed to have come down in value a bit... (at least that is my perception) I did bid on this one - and went right to the end... I bid $26k. Sold for 27. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-bmw-m5-13/ I went down to Portland to drive it. It was awesome. Wow - that was (literally) two years ago. Time flies. Oh well... Fun to look though. One of these days - might work out.

BaT is really weird. I know some people with pretty nice classic cars that have been rejected by BaT, yet complete garbage like this ends up on there? Weird.

I mean seriously, what is appealing about a 924 with holes drilled in the bumper and 6" fog lights?

I have an incomprehensible affinity for this car. Even in that less than ideal color.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...90e-2-3-16-15/ Also for the 500E and R129 SL. |

Me too - just can't get past black though. Don't think I could own a black car.

Literally almost the same exact car I ordered new in 05. Just does not have nav or the rear sun shade. The Interlagos / Cinnamon got soooooo many compliments. Best color combo I’ve had on any car I’ve owned.
