    things seem to be more or less on the ball. we'll see.

    I don't really anticipate the reserve being met, but only time will tell.

    Wont lose sleep over it either way -- my red M was my first and only, black car got way too much $$ sunk too quickly and became too nice to enjoy every day.

      It's event horizon when the project gets worth too much to risk it in traffic. My buddy and I have a number of cars that are at that point right now.. You want to enjoy it, but there is too much stoopid on the roads at any given time.

        It's been a constant in my mind ever since I was hit in the henna car. Just last month I did some minor paintwork to the e46m daily driver, and I felt like I was an idiot magnet. It seemed like everyone on the road was intentionally trying to steer into me I need a dashcam and xanax.

        I know I'm going to be even more paranoid after I paint my vert.

                If it makes you feel better about the situation,even worse than a just painted car ,is an original paint car with no touch ups...

                  Some big money will be spent today on E30s. Two great cars are closing today.

                  Whats more likely to happen?

                  325iS hitting 20k or S54 M3 hitting 40k?

                    I sure hope the 325is jumps up, otherwise, it's a shame. Beautiful car.

                      I get where the seller is coming from in regards to the seat. Its a slippery slope in trying to find a way to "fix" that

                      Edit: really shocked that neither sold today...

                        That's good money for both of those cars. $35.5 was a little short for the M3 but wasn't too far reserve I bet.

                          Maybe the e30 and e30 m3 bubble has burst and prices are on the decline?
                          If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                              Yea, seller hinted that 35 wasnt enough, but was close. Im shocked it didnt get more traction at the end

                              The 325iS I figured would hit a $15k, Im guessing the reserve was right around that as well

                                I do think they have leveled off a bit. we aren't seeing the stratospheric increases of 3 or 4 years ago....
