Goes to show that who owned it can boost a car's prominence. It's nothing new so I'm not surprised. I don't know who Delia Wolfe is but apparently many do and were willing to pay more. A friend of mine bought his M3 in the early 90's from one of the founding members of BMW CCA/ACA or whatever and to this day he still refers to it as their old car. Vlad is another example, good or bad. Andre Agassi's M technic convertible and Corey Haim's E30 M3 are another two examples.

I’d be hesitant to pay top dollar.
But then again, what do we know..

Kinda like a gopher hole. It's not hiding the tunnel, it's just that someone inexperienced might not know how bad it can get until they're out running in the yard and break an ankle and then that ankle gets infected after surgery and they die. So it goes.
@varg- she's famous because people think she knows a lot. She's famous like Satch Carlson is famous (except Mr. Carlson knows a lot about a lot). I think the level of personal attacks on her are kinda silly just because she's wrong about timing belt intervals and their importance. Thank god no one knows who I am- until I post a video on YouTube and link it to my BaT auction in a couple months and someone goes "holy shit that guy once posted about felching" or "shouldn't that guy be working?"1990 325i/4/5, 1992 240SX, 1995 RRC, 1998 M3/4/5

I just don't give a shit about whoever he/she is, nor should they be getting this much air time.
In other news, my friend's really nice 2000c made it to the BAT stories page...

Criticism is fine.
Insulting her looks, not fine.

Anyway, moving along...1 day left on the Hartge and the auction is awfully quiet."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Hartge, Alpina, ACS...etc are hit or miss on there. Some can really pull in a huge amount, but I've seen plenty that never get the reserve or just don't pull expectations.
There was that e21 Hartge a few years back that I wish I could have bid more on.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
