I think the seller on the Touring is misunderstanding the differences between R3V and BAT. The majority of the people here want to see his touring sell for good money - it helps the values of our cars (raising tide and all that sh*t), but at the same time, I think he got a little overzealous with posting here about the car, and we all got a little numb to it (or in some cases annoyed). It's not like the crowd here doesn't know who ACS is or the importance. We're fully aware of it being something special. So for a casual observe it seems like you are being a bit argumentative for the sake of arguing. You really don't need to prove anything to us to be honest - and many of us would have been cool with just a "Readers Ride" post about it and all the research you did. (It'd also make it easier to keep track of the history.)
But also understand many here are not just dumb kids with no money or experience in buying and selling E30's. Much of what has been pointed out in the end would help you sell the car for more money. You should smile, nod, say thank you, and then look at how you can use these tips to improve your auction results. You've got two days left and your auction is being beat by a high mileage, repainted 318is and an S52 swap - keep focus on your end goal.
BAT doesn't give two sh*ts who it sells to or if you get your ideal amount, so it really is in your best interest to take as much experience and advice from those who have had success and be a bit more engaging on the auction. I see two comments already about being just pointed to photos and a couple links to webpages when they really could have used just a simple answer.
Like I said before, most here want to see E30's prices remain positive.
