Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[roguetoaster]

They let that one on BAT? Not to be mean, but it doesn't suit the BAT buyer.

The comment below says it all, but I almost wish someone would come in with a comment expressing real 1% type of disgust for have to even see such a plebian conveyance on their precious BAT.

For those of you that were not around then, this right here is how the “real” BAT started before it became home to nitpickers, chamois wipers and whiners (aka “collectors”).
This is a perfect car for someone to start out in the weekend track hobby.
Why shouldnt it be listed here?
It is “Bring a Trailer” isnt it?

If anyone can eloquently express their disdain for that POS it would be you. Please be the man that can save BAT from having such garbage auctioned in the future

Sure, did you see how badly I expressed myself in the last post? Maybe adding a lot of entitled rage will help.

Well, none other than Satch Carlson has endorsed the car so it will be sure to rile up some people now if you show your elitism ... please do

I would say the "Bring a Trailer" name doesn't suit that site anymore anyways. Considering how 90% of what's sold there now doesn't even need a trailer to move.

Ah, but it still applies, after all, how can you enjoy a car that accumulates mileage, and thus requires replacement of greasy bits (ICK!!) before you sell on to make more room for new conquests. That would be revolting, and totally antithetical to being a proper car collector.

And another E30 convertible.
Market will be fully saturated when mine hits.

When are you planning to auction yours off?

BAT accepted the car 8/3. They were working on final edits to the listing at the end of last week.
So maybe in the next week or so.

The was imported from Germany to the US during prior ownership in June 2016, and it was recently acquired by the selling dealer.

This is what is wrong with BaT, and what makes me want to point out every single flaw with any car on there fitting that mold.

The fact that it's basically a flip job or the grammatical error?

Why in the world does the URL for that 4 door ix contain the word touring?
