The dude who bought that m3 evo ii has won 27 BAT auctions since March of 2022

So they bought a nice unmolested late model, fixed a few things but couldnt figure out the AC. Installed some questionable "OEM+" bullshit and now it's back. IDK if this dude is gonna make anything on this endeavor.

Looks to me like the current seller brought this car with the intention of hooning it, found out how much of a money pit and a hooptie the car was, and is now looking to dump it onto the next unfortunate buyer (well maybe not so an unfortunate buyer given a BAT bidders, probably just a rich idiot). The fact that he only drove the car 500 miles and the fact that he threw on aftermarket exhaust/suspension/seat mods instead of fixing the AC is a major red flag to me.

I feel like the January sale set the value of the car. All the other mods and repairs are just stuff that's expected to work, not something that increases its value. We'll see how my theory plays out.
