And although Copart says it's an automatic, the gearshift lever and dashboard sure make it look like a three-pedal car.
Copart BMW finds...
- Thread starter dang
- Start date
It does have three pedals. The clutch pedal is barely visible in one of the photos.
The listing indicates that the buyer must be a dismantler, dealer or exporter. I would otherwise be interested
Copart gets info wrong fairly often with older cars and short VINs. It's also a clean title so I think it would stay clean since it doesn't need a smog test, not sure.
Just because you have two acres doesn't mean you should fill it with cars!
Heresy...my wife has the same opinion and she does not need any support in that regard
You didn’t answer the question
An improvised Lightweight.....
I like that the listing reads "runs and drives". I'm sure it is true, but not legally on the street without tail lights. Am I an idiot for wanting this car?
A fresh start?
Exactly. I've spent 9 years investing myself in E9. Regretfully, I let that effort slip away. But I think I have it in me to graft a new butt on a coupe. It's like I've been training for this for a decade. That said, I don't know how to successfully purchase a car like this from Copart. And I don't know what it will fetch. But it makes me buzz a bit.
EDIT: It is also worth noting that this is a 2800CS, not a 3.0CSi. I am guessing that Copart doesn't really sweat the details.

This is an auction I bid at weekly. Last time it was bid to $26k in Feb. I don't have the numbers from the 2024 auction.
There are services that allow mere mortals to bid on Copart salvage auctions. Cars-4-bid is one of them, there are others.
