One can argue, it's nicer than even the German one that sold for $148k recently:

Bid for the chance to own a Euro 1972 BMW 3.0CSi 4-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #102,517.

Yes, Oldenzaal , here in the Netherlands near the German border.
They restore "every" month a E9 , i don't even know were they found that many to begin with .... think most in Italy.
All of course +100K cars when finished.... to end as garage queens i assume....

They must be the biggest W&N customer

I always get a pre-sale mail from them so that VIP "friends" can buy before the car is knowed on the world-wide-net....

i can share the VIP treatment with you, no worries,...

 

[Belgiumbarry]

Okay , you buy the blue ones, i the red .....

 

[CSteve]

Don't know why, but I get the same VIP treatment. I will buy the Polaris ones.

 

[Belgiumbarry]

now we are with 3..... any more colors ?

 

[NFK]

the next maron is reserved for me

 

[Belgiumbarry]

are you a VIP ?

 

[NFK]

at least I get their heads-up mails.
Not sure if that makes me a VIP

 

[Belgiumbarry]

sorry no , you must deal with one of the 3 flippers here called VIP's.
We only ask 30% which is neglectible spare money when buying a car from Oldenzaal.
Good luck !

I also get those pre-sale emails. They must buy a lot from W&N, but there are many new looking parts they have in these cars that are NLA that they are getting somewhere.

Read the comments in the auction and you’d think Oldenzaal is the best restorer ever.

I don't see how you can restore a coupe correctly for 100k and make money. Something has to give.

Last PPI on one I did they didn’t even paint the block before installing.
All brown surface and dozens of rust pimples in the paint job on the body.
The judges at Legends would have chewed it up.

This on all Oldenzals I've seen

I think there is a difference between Odenzaal and Odenzaal.
They are doing full restorations and they are also doing service jobs.
So, you need to be careful what was really done by them. I have seen adds, where the seller likes to suggest that the car was restored by Odenzall, but in fact it had just a motor service or some other service.

I think there is a difference between Odenzaal and Odenzaal.
...

And they are both different than Oldenzaal .

ok, I buy an “L”
