Congrats Chris! I was nervous without skin in the game, can’t imagine what your emotions are/were.
Am I the only one who feels like its sort of an end of an era here on e9coupe.com?

His White E9 starts a new era. It's like when Gandalf came back as a White Wizard in Lord of the Rings.

Congratulations Chris! You are fortunate to already have a new project to aid/distract letting your beautiful Malaga go.

My request was $150, they countered at $130 and I got them up to $135 so I was a bit worried. It sold for close to my initial number so I am not looking back. Six months ago it would have gone higher I think. They are wiring funds tomorrow for their client, whomever he is. Firm handling sale is a large Century City Business Management company, there were four people on their e-mail!

Cheers!

OMG so stressful. Glad it is over and THANK YOU for all the great pictures. Now I know how everything should look. I learned so much from the pictures and added many things to my "to do list" when I retire next year. One of the really cool things was picture 184 the Center Chrome Hub Cap cover on the spare. I hope you do not mind me stealing this idea. On the hunt for a cheap one if anyone has one. I see them on e-bay for $45

I am raising a glass, facing west towards Huntingtin Beach. Congrats Chris! I look forward to seeing the Chamonix in person soon.

Good number, Chris. I agree. 6 months ago and perhaps timed heading into spring, you would have garnered maybe 30-40k more but as they say, onwards and upwards. You still have the many lessons learned to take into the next project.

Looks like it is going to Austin, Texas. I have his handlers to ask him to join the Forum, we shall see.

The Chamonix coupe will stay a carbed 3.0 with a five speed, nothing fancy just very original. It needs, paint, chrome and leather, now I can afford to take my time and finish it properly.

Congratulations Chris. If you’re like me, you probably didn’t get a full nights sleep last night. I’m really glad you got near your number. The stock Chamonix is going to be great and beautiful. I had a blast in mine following you for 460 miles just ten days ago.

Well done, Chris! That was a masterful job with your continual postings on BaT. It was a fun auction to watch and very educational. Enjoy finishing your Chamonix & we look forward to seeing you on the road.

Cheers!

@HB Chris congrats on the auction! I am CERTAIN you would have gotten ~10-15% more if the photography looked more like this: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-bmw-3-0csi-29/. The harsh sunlight directly overhead didn't do you any favors imo.
Candidly, I was tempted to put a bid in as I think it is clearly the best e9 out there imo.
@Candia4441 I have had success selling on BAT.

I agreed picture is very important when this Gorgeous Malaga sold with that price what will sale my Malaga or my Blue one I don't think I get even 100K I think 1st is picture and 2nd is 3 E9 at the same time and bidder have a choice, there is not many E9 but there is not many buyer for old cars either like my wife she don't even like to ride on my old cars
