God everytime I get a notification in my inbox of another e30 going for $10k or more I kick myself for selling my 318is on craigslist for $5000...

The same thing enabled you to get some great deals..

That is no comfort. :(

Not sure how much the turbo, 80k mile M42, and other build items would have added to the value on BaT, but it sure would have been nice to find out.

Uh, I think I just got a notification from BaT for a touring that looks a lot like the one Vlad did a couple years back.

It's all good. I'm not desperate to sell the car. It'll be garaged in TX if i take it with me - away from the sun lol.

2man, all you needed to put on the first post was "Vlad's M3 touring." We would have all known what it was.. :)

hah where is the fun in that?

[MrBurgundy]

The girl on the car gave it away.

[glucklich21]

I look forward to the comments section. The seller is unaware of the history of the car, which is surprising. Hell, there's even a Jalopnik article on it.

:popcorn:

BAT had or has to be aware.

Possible click bate listing I'm guessing?

If you run the VIN, it's from a US-spec m42 318is.

I was surprised the eBay auction was allowed to go on when the VIN was a clear marker of an illegal car. What I am curious about is weather or not the stamped VIN under the hood seal is intact. All the other numbers would have been lost in the conversion.
