I appreciate the comment. I refuse to do a BAT auction, but perhaps having them list it on their site (if they still do that) would be a good idea.

Looks like this car has made it to a BAT story.

IMHO
What is holding this great car back are
(1) it is a C not a CS
(2) auto versus 4spd

Bring it to us at Park Place Ltd in Bellevue, WA (www.ParkPlaceLtd.com) and we'll sell that beauty for you!

I reached out to the sellers of that green car last year, asking for hi-res pictures to use when I put mine back together. They quickly obliged with all the photos they had. In the conversations, they told me the car was not restored, but original... Seems unbelievable, but that's the story.

Took it out to the last big event of the year today, BMW Motorfest, hosted by BMW Oregon CCA. It sure does run and drive nicely. Ready to find it a new home.
Price drop to $40,000.

No offense to the owner as this car is absolutely stunning but has any other 2000c sold for this type of money or anywhere close to it?

None taken, and I totally get what you are saying. I can't find any comparable 2000ca sales (besides the rust bucket/non runners), so it's hard for me to say. The only comps, which were even only sorta comparable, have all been 2000cs cars, of which, this is not.
I haven't showed this car to a single person. Have had a lot of interest, but it seems they were all just "looky-loos", or tire kickers. I would consider a reasonable, IN PERSON, cash offer, just to move it along.
What does the general consensus, realistically, think this car is worth? It's a very special car, which, unfortunately, has little to no following, and creates a very, very narrow market for itself.

IMHO this car just needs the right buyer, and that person is a rare individual. I'd love this car, but have a similar auto 3.0 in my garage. As an owner of manual P cars, '68 and '06, I like the GT feel of the auto coupes. Composed and relaxed. I hope the right buyer comes along as this is a terrific car.

Color may play a big role for some buyers. I have grown to like the 2000cs over time. But the ones I have been attracted to are black or silver or red in no special order. And all the 2000s have that killer interior that for me is so period correct. Pre Penny-Pinchers in charge.
Steve
Agreed, the interiors are beautiful

Thanks for the kind words. Was neat to have the two of them together, one last time.
Car left today, headed for Seattle, to be a part of a very nice collection. Bittersweet, but it was time to pass the torch along.

I’m speculating...
Me too....
