Goddamn. That's outstanding.

Saw it. Thanks.

That is perhaps the perfect E38.

I'm terrified of what the winning bid will be. And I already have 5 cars (including an E39 that rarely moves).

I actually thought it would go into the 60s.

It's a lovely car, but it's still someone else's build based on a 20 year old chassis. Quite honestly, I'd rather have it without the supercharger.

Nick, in all seriousness, you should think about building some cars to sell. Market seems hot.

The shell had some flaws that I think held it back.

And I agree. The S62 is enough.

That said, I don’t build cars quickly enough or cheaply enough to make money. Right now, I’m just trying to get the “new” iX up to a drivable standard. (Cooling and vacuum system refresh, with a little bit of cosmetic cleanup while I’m in there.)

I still have an eye open for an Imolarot 740i. If one shows up in nice condition, I probably would have to jump on it.
