While, on one hand, it's incredibly sad that this car has never been wrung out the way it was designed, it's also pretty amazing to come across a 100-mile example of a 1-in-125 car from 22 years ago. Anyone who could buy this car, most certainly has other cars that they might be more willing to actually drive.

Just saying, I wouldn't trade.
Interesting who bid 100k

I simply do not understand the appeal of one of the M3 LTW at $100k. They are just not that special.

It's not much more capable than a run-of-the-mill '95 M3, but it's rare -- rare options list, rare color combo, etc. In the absence of true scarcity like the E30 M3, rare editions and low mileage are what separate the high-dollar cars from everything else. It's happening in the E46 world, too, although not quite like this.

The big issue with this particular car is that its new owner is pretty unlikely to put big miles on it. (Then again, the odometer rolled past 99 during the prep work for sale...I guess it's already in three-digit territory, too bad.) Seems kind of a shame to have this very nice car and never rub the mold release compound off of the tire treads.

For the right price this could be a fun knock around 2nd car.

http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-bmw-m3-24/

Aren't the 95's more tuner friendly?

Those seats are in GREAT shape. Usually Vader's look like hell.

This is also neat!

Head serviced, water pump and thermostat? top end fixed, how about the bottom end?

I'd like to drive the MGB, I bet it is a blast, and probably unsafe

Holy crap, that's an interesting frankencar. 300+ HP in a little MGB? With an LSD? Yeah, that's got to be tons of fun. Would be even better in a Midget.

The M3 looks nice, too bad it's black. Or maybe it's good that it's black

Also, I'm probably being paranoid, but I wonder if this was a track toy. Fresh, non rusty bolts holding together the exhaust. Vaders that look almost too perfect to have 75,000 miles of use. Fresh Sachs shocks (who buys these on purpose?), etc. It wouldn't stop me from bidding, certainly, but it seems odd.
