I can tell you round-a-bout numbers (2014 prices)...
ITB kit in: $1800
MS PNP: $850
Head: $2200
Headers/exhaust: $1k
40% diff: $900
Dyno tuning: $600
Labor $2200
2014: $8550
2016 we upgraded to 2.8:
2.8 rotating assy: $4200
Head was cracked by owner (overheated accidentally in garage when fan caught a rag), not really "build" but related.
Second head: $2300
$1200 labor
New dyno tune: $600
Even if you nix the second head, he still spent another $4800 on the new bottom end installed ($13,350 total).
Plus he purchased the interior and re-installed it ($$???).
The PO easily had $20 on top of the vehicle purchase, only to get 16. :(

Enthusiast type cars stay an entertainment expense with little to no return in almost all cases. Gotta be insightful or lucky enough to know what will be expensive while it is still cheap and hold on to it until it's expensive. Just enjoy them instead of worrying about what someone else will pay you.

Interesting what some modded cars go for on BaT vs. stock. Obviously we're now getting into classic territory where originality matters, but having owned stock and modded e30s I'd take a modded car if it was something I was going to drive rather than just hold as an investment.

Not a huge fan of all the red bits mixed with grey either. If the entire interior was red and the wheels were silver, it would look a whole lot better IMO.

Auction fever is the only explanation I can think of, that or a buyer whose time is worth a lot and found exactly what was wanted in that car. The recent comment about not caring about title status puzzles me, is it not still the case that it's nearly impossible to get insurance to cover a rebuilt/junk/salvage title car? Surely you would want your heavily modified $17,000 classic car insured well.

Mismatched cheeseball tires front and rear. '70s muscle car rake. The engine's a plus but the rest of the car needs so damn much.
If I'm not mistaken, the vignette in the windshield is Bulgarian.1990 325i/4/5, 1992 240SX, 1995 RRC, 1998 M3/4/5

Somehow I doubt that the trans was resealed, unless they just mean input/output seals, since the slave looks original, as does the line. Basically, while the car is nice, it does not strike me as a 100k car, which means it will go for 120k.
