    Ahh, gotcha. I thought it had to do with the colour of the carpet.

      Now that's some Porsche style thinking right there. Ja, we made ze carpet the fifth shade of grey we tested as we found it saved .00001g/sq meter.

        Haha I was more thinking that a certain colour of carpet was only produced on xxx amount of 318is's therefore making it a rare option.

        But I like your way of thinking too.

          They also lack sound deadening in the trunk, under the rear seat, and a few other places
          Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

            Mark the time and date! There has not been an E30 auction for 3 days and counting. The built up demand is going to send the next car north of $20k!

                  No.

                  They will not sell a Bronzit.

                  Already tried to get them to list an all original, 325i Bronzit with full service history and clean as f*ck. They denied it saying it didn't fit their market and some other BS excuse.

                    Glad to see you are still bitter about this. I would feel the same way in your position.

                          110k. If I recall.. it's been awhile.

                          Really left a bad taste with me how they replied. No useful feedback, no suggestions.. etc.

                          This why I don't buy the bs claim that they are not trying to influence the market and are only presenting what is being made available. They will only post click bait or what they feel can help drive a bubble. Hence the large number of 318is..

                          I've heard of others getting the same treatment with them as well.

                          They've already had a few deals getting really south on them, and they've largely ignored the old users who actually got the site to where it is today.

                          Anywhoot, that's enough ranting for today..

                              You think they'd take an overall clean 318is with broken ODO, small dent in valance and cracked dash w/cover?

                                Sedan.


                                We ended up getting our reserve on eBay, so it went to a good home.

                                I imagine they would.

                                They used to be more about selling projects and diamonds in the rough (hence the name Bring A Trailer) - but now it's just another dealer site. Might as well be Beverly Hills Car Club. lol
