The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

[Josh (PA)]

The new Z4 does look like a fun roadster. It does suck they didn't offer a manual with the B58 and have no plans for an M version. I like the styling and from the reviews, they got a lot right with the car and platform for Toyota.

I'm happily surprised how well my auction is going to this point. We just hit the bare minimum where I am no longer at risk of wife retribution for going no reserve.

This is also in stock at Century and I think is as close to an M as you can get (but wrong transmission) https://www.century-bmw.com/new/BMW/...40f622aae4.htm

Nice color. Boy, these sure got expensive. I think our 2001 Z3 (admittedly 2.5 engine) was just under $30k. But nice to see the Zs with a cloth top again.

My z3 listed at $38k back in 1998 and sold to my parents for just over $33k. In todays numbers thats right around $60k (based on google) so on the one hand its a lot of money, on the other its not that much different than its always been.

Holy shit I either never knew or forgot you can't even get a Z4 with three pedals.

Re: the auction—I think it’s going well because you’re doing everything right as a seller, staying engaged, answering questions, and adding detail when ppl request it.

Plus it’s a really honestly presented car, in nice shape. It’s a good combo for BaT.

I think the auction has a ways to go, and I suspect you’ll be quite pleased with the end result.

So what happens to auctions when BAT crashes (like it's been doing for the last 40 mins)?

Good question - It is down for me currently as well.

Working for me, sometimes they have a very desirable car that bogs down the system, they usually extend auction time when that happens.

Josh I think (so far) it has been a great sign that this 2000 M has always been within a few hundred of your car. It ends before your finish tomorrow. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...m-roadster-60/

Good luck sleeping tonight! and best of luck tomorrow!
