Two for the price...

Same combo for sale quite some time ago I think. Always love it when they show you what it could look like!
 
Yes now that you mention it this does seem familiar. Since I would like to do a 3.5 upgrade I am wondering what the right price for this car would be. I also like the alpinas but have not researched whether these would fit a coupe.
 
Those Alpinas should fit just fine. The seller says they are staggered so I am assuming (you should verify) that they are 16*7 ET11 and 16*8 ET24
 
E9 in Chicago

I might be interested...but not at 50% ($8,000) of the asking price...especially if it's not running. Are you going to call the owner to find out the details?
 
Spoke with the owner and also looked at a few of the old posts here. He is willing to sell the cars apart as long as he can move both of them. I have no idea what the shark is worth and since it hasn't run for a while, am not sure it's the smartest move to buy a car for the engine and drivetrain when I don't know if it works. I could offset the cost of the shipping with some of the parts, but that's an awful lot of work when I can probably find an M30B35 in a yard (my mechanic's, as a matter of fact). But then again, staggered alpinas.....

Anyone have a suggestion on what the six is worth? He didn't move them last year for 16K, so the market would say that's too high. If the coupe is worth 6-8 and the shark worth 3-4K, perhaps we can make a deal.
 
Might have him confirm there is an Alpina VIN plate in engine bay and provide the number, otherwise it might just be an Alpina decal on outside.
 
It's not an alpine per a previous thread on this board and hence the lack of heartburn over the part-out. Just some alpina-mods but he does have staggered wheels which are nice.
 
Hi everyone. The cars mentioned above are my two BMW's for sale. I've had them listed for sale in the past about a year ago and took them off craigslist. I've decided to relist them for sale again.

Here is a link to more pictures and the original for sale ad I had posted on here a while back:

You are correct, it was for sale before and I included the link above. I included some pics of completed E9's in my craigslist ad because some people don't have the imagination of what the car would look like restored with the 16" Alpinas.

They are correct offset real Alpina wheels in ET11 and ET24. They should fit with no problems. I can take the Alpina wheels off the 635csi and put them on my E9 if we needed to verify fitment.

Kinda a shame to do that Alpina in to make 1 E9.

I agree, and I wouldn't do that if this were a true factory built Alpina. It is a tribute car, so a Euro 635csi with Alpina wheels and other suspension upgrades.

I'd recommend the $16,000 asking price. Its a great deal for two hard to find BMW's :smile:.

Last year I didn't have a buyer for each car lined up and wasn't willing to split up the cars. I ended up deciding to hold onto them and now I'm back to where I was last year thinking that I have too many cars and need to lean the herd.

You are correct no Alpina VIN here, just a nice Alpina tribute car.

My humble opinion - the E9 coupe is not worth $6k to $8k if it's not running and needs an engine. $5k...maybe!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I did have two offers for more than what your estimated value is last year for the E9. I was not going to split up the set at that time as I didn't have a buyer lined up for my 635csi.


I appreciate everyone's interest in my BMW's. If anyone has any questions or wants to make me an offer on my BMW's please let me know. You can message me on here or call me on my cell phone at (312)804-3839.
 
UPDATE:

Just wanted to let everyone know that the cars are sold and let you know what the BMW's went for. The 81 635csi sold for $5,000 and the 71 2800cs sold for $9,000, so I got $14,000 for the pair.

The 635csi was sold first and the buyer ended up buying the E9 as well a couple weeks later. The cars are in Florida now.
