    Tariffs

    I personally hope the thread sticks around. Even though I don't own an E9 at the moment, this has been a useful bit of content as I've been importing parts for my 964 over the past 18 months and trying to time and price UK and German markets. Even if the comments wander into highly adjacent...

    1974 BMW 2002 Turbo 4 sale BaT

    ...and more "non-constructive comments," including from our resident expert. Sheesh. Some extra sensitivity on this listing. I really had hoped Hugh (Whip) landed this unit, since he's local to me in Chicagoland and I'd get to see it.

    Beautiful Malaga ‘74 Coupe on BaT

    I also thought the same when I bought my 964 in Toronto two years ago, but was not the case. This was a documented US-purchased car, exported by an owner to Canada and owned for 15+ years there, then reimported by me. I paid the US import duty in advance using a broker, who prepared the...

    what top speed is this guy able to reach ? football

    Not sure about your guy, but EPL actually can do the telemetry. 35.97 km/h or 23.35 mph for Van de Ven: https://www.premierleague.com/news/3884168 Not sure what quarter-mile he'd run, but that's fast.

    They're certainly reinventing brand advertising. If you haven't seen it, the universally reviled video:

    What is this? Help with IDing a fixed garage floor jack thingy

    I'm stumped on this one. I'm helping a neighbor look at repairing a house with a two-car detached garage. Around 2000, the previous owner installed what appears to be a fixed/sunken jack or hydraulic lift base in the center of the garage floor to do some sort of auto repair (the intent and use...

    Another Fjord on BaT

    The listing does not indicate "Alumni," so presumably not.

    '70 E9 hot rod on Bat

    Another Scuderia import offering from our young forum friend, Josh, who's a good guy continuing to learn lessons about importing and pricing in today's (BaT) market. I've seen this car in person (not driven, not crawled in/under), but it presents as the wonderful blunt instrument it is. Set up...

    1973 Fjord 3.0CS on BaT

    This result is not going to be helped along by all the shadows of tree branches EVERYWHERE on the car.

    And apparently made of gold.

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    Or consider a GPS tracker, which won't alert a thief's phone that an AirTag is following them. For instance, this one is $5/month, but also geofenced, which means it can alert your phone if goes outside a certain area (like your driveway), which would in theory give you more time to react...

    A quick trip to Paris

    Highly recommend it in, say, April. Winter with the roof open is pas agréable. Here we are in warmer times. And don't forget to compel your significant other to re-enact your favorite scenes from Ronin.

    A quick trip to Paris

    Not a museum, but if you want firsthand exposure to a vintage car, there are lots of options for CV2 tours of Paris. It's a hoot, although the winter schedule may be a bit thinner. Here's the one my wife and I took in April...

    Fjord 1973 CSi on BaT for the 3rd time.

    Oct. 2022...back when a commenter could say "Under 90k is a deal!"

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    Just to bring this thread around to the original topic, I ran out to Josh's shop yesterday, primarily to look at the Golf CSi. He has three other Coupes there as well. Over two hours of chatting, he was kind enough to let me take some shots and share them back with the forum along with my...

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    ...and for BaT, not just to make money on the sale, but to maintain its batting average and reputation. This is probably a repost from somewhere, but if you really want to nerd out with this guy, here is his Python-enabled analysis of BaT sell-through rates. I'd love to see him re-run this with...
