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

I don’t talk about 911’s to much well mostly due to pricing but hot dam this is a nice spec.

Just remove all the dumb tape from the sides and the hood.

Man. Three owners, 1,400 miles.

Maybe it is just the tape but I find that car to be kind of ick.

No Reserve: 2005 BMW X5 3.0i 6-Speed https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-bmw-x5-5/

Ugh… titanium silver. Nevertheless it will be interesting to see what it brings, especially since Nick owns one.

LOL at all the commenters surprised you could get a stick.

I tend to think that low-ish value rare vehicles probably do better in a patient buy-it-now format than an auction. But I will certainly be curious.

Yum… Imola Red over Caramel E39 M5. This is only the second or third one I have seen listed in nearly 3 years. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-bmw-m5-185/

That is drool worthy.

I actually looked at an Imola/Black car before I got mine. I was not in the best shape so I passed.

Carbon was not what I wanted but after a really long search it was the best I found at the time for a reasonable price.

The order I was searching in was LeMans, Imola then Carbon.

I also wanted the sport leather (More durable) in either black or silverstone (What my car had).

One of my last pics.

Wow! It looked great when you sold it. I wish I had known… I was MIA from here and many other forums.

The clearcoat on Imola is prone to failure if it is not religiously garage kept. I wonder if BMW has resolved that? I tend to think it is a red thing.

I like LeMans too, but there appears to be more of them produced versus Imola.

Thanks but as the miles crept up so the the maintenance big time!! Which was the final straw after some pretty big bills. And the fact it almost had 110K on it.

I am a bit like you on the OCD (less so on weekly washes then before but if it does not rain Hoc Silver stays good looking longer) front but I have a limit and it was reached with that car. It only took 11y.
