Sorry, I missed the previous post on this .
Amazing but pretty pointless, what would you do with it apart from put it in a museum ?.

Well, for that price (considering it probably has sat idle almost all of its life).....fix the leaks and enjoy it.
Looks like a showroom brochure!
Is that all perhaps the nicest one in the world is really worth ($18-30k USD)?

Amazing car. 32km is roughly 19 miles. Hard to fathom. Wonder how many times fluids have been renewed in 54 years? (Especially the fuel) Yet it’s missing some tools. Needs @Stan ‘s pop-up factory style sunroof wind deflector to complete the package.
So here’s my feeling on a classic car with incredibly low miles: don’t stare at it, drive it!
Even if you average 1000 miles a year for the next five years you’ll have a 60 year old car with less than 6000 original documented miles. Likely still the lowest mileage e3 in the world.
Looking forward to see what it sells for.

it doesn't matter what somebody pays for it, it would take a ton of money to restore a 'more used car' to get anywhere close to the physical condition of this car. so, lets say you have to go through the cooling system, the fuel system, the brake system ... replace some dry-rotted rubber ... even if you spend 10k, you've got arguably one of the nicest e3 on the planet ... certainly the most original and fewest km / miles. this car needs to be driven and enjoyed ... and while that happens, it will be appreciated by everybody else.
Wow - I have a feeling their estimate will not hold. I can see it going for much more than what they think. But who knows. Will be interesting to follow....

Looking at their other auctions... There is an E21 323i with under 1,000km... https://www.broadarrowauctions.com/vehicles/gi26v_r0049/1981-bmw-323i
Someone liked blue BMW's and kept them inside....
