    There was one in Portland for a long time at 4K ish. Nobody was interested it seemed. There's some cool that it's euro, but then you sit there and look at... [emoji53]

            Been going through this thread and thoroughly enjoying it. Shoulda known there'd be R3V peeps sharing E30 BaT info.. late to the party again.

            This is so true it makes my head spin. DBs were an afterthought from the beginning. You can learn to love them as a family member, but that's as far as it goes lol. And tbh wife and I love our painted euro bumpers and early model taillights. When you park the car side by side with a late model the plastic bumpers actually look pretty heavy.

            We'll keep the DBs on the 88IX coupe though.

              That E23 posting pretty much sums up BAT now. The selling dealer purchased it from the original owner 3 months ago.. It's just a flipper forum now.

              Roll on BAT hype train, roll on..

                I really, really wish I would have submitted my 318is turbo car to BAT... I think my wallet would have thanked me.

                  I agree, but there is something about the early IS / ES front spoilers that make DB cars look really good.

                      Tough decision for sure.

                      If vintage racing is something that can hold off for a while, I'd pass on BaT for now.

                        Just part it out already... :devil:


                        I was curious how they would respond back. They definitely control the product...

                          If someone wants to buy the heart and soul of this car, the aluminum block M52 for ~$5000 I will do that and keep the car, but thats not happening .... I dont think

                              Looks like I was too conservative on this one. I was thinking 13-15k and bet on the low side.
