Looks nice, but sheesh, can't clean it a bit better?

No money shots though.

Thinking $45k RNM.

the malaga color looks a bit dark / off. perhaps a repaint / perhaps its just bad photography

Lots of little things off or missing on the car. Entire trunk area is sketchy. I think the white car listed for $28k on CL Fla may be a better buy in many respects. My WAG is it won't meet reserve.

This poor coupe needs just about everything money can buy! It’s in a sorry state right now.

Agreed it looks darker. Definitely repainted. What I can’t figure is why repaint it slightly darker and still paint the trunk, jambs, and engine compartment so sloppily. I’m also amazed that BAT would accept this car with such crappy driveway and garage pictures. The antithesis off their “guidelines” on taking proper photos. I want to write “Wash Me” across some of the pictures.

That color sure looks like Aubergine to me (my favorite E39 color)...

My V8 914 is Malaga. I repainted the body, but the trunks and jambs were too nice to repaint so they are original. Not at all the same color as this E9

very nice looking 914 Dick ... must be fast as hell

 

[Dick Steinkamp]

Although the paint code on the E9 is Malaga, the fact that it is a complete respray (and a rather poor one at that) tells me it was color changed to Augergine (or something similar).

Most of the "dirt" appears to be cloud reflections. A bad choice of days/places to photograph it.

Very Nice! Used to have a 914 many years ago, fun car to drive

Nice indeed, show us the engine!

I meant to post my 914 only to show that the E9 on BaT described as Malaga was not. I don't want to hijack this thread. Besides, this is a BMW forum!

If you want more info or pics of my 914, or if you want to know of a good 914 forum, PM me.

Thanks.

Just paged through the parts and service receipts, most discouraging!
