Very wonky! There are so many issues it’s hard to know where to start, and I’m not talking about bumper guards either.

Rear sway bar?

what are your thoughts?

bowser. And sadly, it'll draw more attention and probably more coin than that very sweet sahara that just closed on eBay.

Twenty one five with 3 or 4 hours to go. I read that the 535 was fun to watch. I wonder what auction fever will do. The forum could list a Coupe and say nothing derogatory and observe. A little,detailing and I will offer up mine.

No sale at $32,500, somehow I am relieved for the bidders. How anyone can buy a coupe without first examining it with someone who knows these cars is beyond words.

In the back stretch
It’s bmw gaining on Porsche

Glad to see that car fail to meet reserve...

I've said before I hate all the little nitpicking on some of these cars but the inner fenders and crappy door fit say to me the car has had significant work at the hands of someone who just didn't care.

32k? sheesh. shouldve sold.

The inner fender treatment established a new level of crapmanship.
Errr, craftsmanship :eek:

Bidding ended at $32,500 and did not meet reserve. Surprise that the bidding did not go higher. Another one is listed today that is much nicer it appears

Reserve is off so it'll sell

 

[scottevest]

I am no expert but to my eyes this looks like at least a $50,000 car? Am I wrong?

Yes, but only if you are unwilling to put that money down yourself.

Re-read the comments on BAT.

I think it may have some shoddy body work done, but who knows w/o personally looking at it.

There's no "thinking" about it in my book. The body and paint on that car is a bit scary if you look closely.

 

[HB Chris]

The buyer is in for a nasty surprise I’m afraid.

 

[rsporsche]

the inner fenders within the engine compartment are very scary looking.
