Remember when flagging on Craigslist actually did something? I used to flag the obnoxious dealership spam in the by owner section and it would actually get deleted. I haven't seen a flag result in something being removed in years.

Shame they cost an arm and a leg though - but that looks and rarity of those cars commend it.
I think that its design looks unfinished, though.

Originally posted by E30 Wagen;n=9922578This isn't just a "mint" car. It's a time capsule. How often in life have you wanted to go back in time? That's like the ultimate fantasy, right? Well, with this car you actually can, sort of. Maybe 20 years ago you could have built/restored an e30 with all new parts from BMW, but not any more, and even then it would have cost a fortune. Among numerous other parts, getting a brand new OEM interior just isn't going to happen today. You can try to find matching OE materials but it's just not the same. This car is like your one chance to go back 30 years and experience what a 100% brand new e30 is like. Not restored, new. And, it's not some garden variety version, it's a somewhat rare early model 325ix. Maybe not that exciting but it's still kinda special.

Here is an example that I found curious: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-280sel-4-5-9/
Somebody wanted to restore a Mercedes and has spent more than $100,000.
It's still not ready. And it's not even the wonderful Pagoda.
Personally, I do not have the gall to dump money into a full-out restoration like the guy you linked. A full restoration is an all or nothing venture and in his case he ended up with nothing... and a $100k+ hole in his wallet.

That E9 is pretty sweet. I'd consider myself a (gulp) "purist" and would have preferred it to have the original engine, but man that thing is awesome looking. By far my favorite BMW chassis, but that price tag is wild

Price is pretty out there, but I guess it's probably a comparable car to the Singer Porsches? I'd dump the halo headlights, but otherwise it looks pretty amazing.
