2000CA

A very interesting predecessor to the E9. I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person; I'd remember that front grill if I did.

One of the BaT guys goes by "LongDucDong." .. one of my favorite 80's characters in the John Hughes film 16 Candles...
 
What a unique, classy, and nicely sorted machine. Very cool!
 
Imagine this: BMW keeps the entire 2000CS interior when it shifts to the 3.0CS e9 coupe. They went from First Class seating to Economy Class but kept the leg room.

Only on the UK E9s have the top wood rail on right hand drive cars. All the left hand drive cars have the vinyl top rail.
 
$110K? Beautiful car but it only has one carburetor and it’s automatic. The last two bidders took it from $53K to the $110K.
Must be the wheels.
 
Dick's comment makes zero sense. He decides when the market has spoken? I think the correct way to look at it is that the market HAS spoken and that car was worth 110k yesterday. Any other viewpoint is just a touch self centered. Anything is worth what a willing buyer is willing to pay.
 
The buyer might have some sentimental reason for wanting this coupe but the two bidders took it to an extreme level. It will never reach this plateau again so in my mind it does not set the market value. I hope the new owner enjoys it immensely and keeps it for a very long time.

I interpreted Dick's comment differently. Yes, that car was worth 110k yesterday to two, aggressive bidders who were more focused on winning the car than on fiscal sense. But that doesn't mean that the current market price for a 2000CS is now $110,000.00. As Dick was saying, it's probably closer to $52,000, where the #3 bidder made the rational decision to wait for the next 2000CS to come along. Hagerty concurs with Dick, putting the value of a #1 "concours condition" 1966 2000CS at $59,000 https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-tools/bmw/2000cs/1966/1966-bmw-2000cs-base?id=aCn1I000000D2G5SAK (you'll need to log on to Hagerty to get that number).
