Good showing for E3's and E24's on offer even with most selling either at no reserve or reserves being lifted. All three early E24's were under 5 figures and anyone here shoulda been happy to own one of them at those prices, m'thinks.
The white low-miles CSi and carbed early CSL are helpful indices of what the auction-attending BMW fans feel "our cars" are "worth" ..... perhaps all the other L's were scrappy (as Yannick intimates) but this one auction, featuring only BMW stuff, also shows what auction-participating BMW fans think of our stuff without the distraction of non-fans being mislead by hype

Hello,
I was at the Auction on saturday. The set up for the sale in the museum was splendid although one would have hoped they would have done it on an other day or month to keep the tourist level to a minimum ( the Oktoberfest brought an influx of 7 million of visitors to Munich over the past couple of weeks) The E9 line was quantitatively well represented with the carb CSL making the best impression of the bunch. Impressive were the 3.0 Sedans with practically no mileage, still having the factory quality control stickers in the engine compartment...a time capsule and a pleasure for the eyes.
