that car is so ugly though and from the reviews very numb. It was never going to be a collector.

Grading on a curve, I think.

Wow.

Given the aphorism that a car depreciates by 25% the minute it rolls off the showroom floor, at least the seller made sticker back. Of course he took a bath on the sales tax unless he can claim a credit for flipping it in less than 30 days.

And they never recovered the cost of the Xpel.

Does Xpel even make a film that matches the "Frozen" BMW paint surface?

I never understood the desire of a paint that looks like the manufacturer forgot to apply the clearcoat in the paint shop. And in this case it looks like primer.

My opinion on the car - Ugly from beaver to butt. So even more than "butt ugly". At least 2 bidders were on it since it got 11 bids in total.

The winning bidder is also chasing a second identical one that was also Xpel'd and has 69 miles on it. WTF are these buy-and-flip people thinking? This second one is listed as "re-acquired by the selling dealer" - apparently its buyer came to their senses.

That CSL is hideous. I cannot believe all that tacky stuff is from the factory.

Unlike most automakers, BMW only gets it right some of the time. This seems like a big miss.



Will keep the orig E46 CSL prices pumped up. So yay for those people.

CSL plus automatic transmission is very difficult to take seriously. I know. BMW certainly tries. But this is just an el cheapo solution. They’re no better than GM for making these decisions.

Guys, I’m not seeing the softening in prices. For 992 S cars (manual) or for 992 GT3 cars —

Tell me when this is happening, again?

This thread is about $10-50,000 cars, not $200,000+ cars
