Riviera is just a great color. UAE provenance to boot!

That thing was restored right me thinks.

Nice looking, nice color - love the interior.

love the color. perhaps automatic is holding it back - 45k with 4 hours to go. on the surface this seems like a really good car that should draw a hellovalot more. we shall see if things pick up

one of my favorite BMW blues...

As much as I love how clean the underside is, it appears that the original undercoating was left on and new paint just painted over it?

An hour to go and it’s $50k? Automatic or not, this looks like a solid car in a great color. Someone might get a very good deal.

 

[rsporsche]

22 minutes to go and still at 50k. my guess is RNM at 65k

 

[rsporsche]

well its past 68k with 2 active bidders - 500 increments

It's climbing. Just hit $70k.

EDIT: Sorry Scott, I hit post right as your comment came through.

 

[boonies]

Nice to see it hit reserve!

 

[rsporsche]

sold for 70,650

 

[teahead]

cheap for the condition it's in.

Automatic...can easily be fixed somewhat ($10k for a G265 conversion).

But that CA CARB restriction on grey imports...that's a doosey. Wonder how Rex and his CSi was able to get his registered. Maybe someone at the DOL that day wasn't being too picky when registering Rex's car.

I feel like if you put a 5-speed in this one you'll be at $100,000.

i tend to agree with you. the condition 3 value on Hagerty says 84.2k and the condition 2 value is 148k.
