    Decent at best

    I assume nothing happens now until the last day. Any predictions from you experts?

      It looks like its off to a good start for a no-reserve. I am hoping it trickles up to $20k for the final days action. Would really help if someone comes to check out the car and reports on what they saw lol

        These just don't do anything for me. I'm sure there is someone out there that will love it, but I'd rather take the sedan current up for auction.

        Did I just say that!?!

                  Sold for $34,500. That's a good chunk of change for an E91, but I can't help but feel it's one of the few cars we've seen in this thread lately that was worth the price paid given just how good it seems. It's like an AMG wagon for people who don't want to break the bank with maintenance, repairs, insurance and fuel costs.
                  Knowing the young gentleman that built that car, your description is 100% spot on. The haters are just the e90 crowd saying that mods don't add value and they could build it cheaper, given you can get a 335d for around $6-14K, depending on mileage and options. What most forget is even starting with a $6K car, that wagon had at least $15K of mods on it, let alone the time to get the harness to work like oem, etc. Plus it's currently the only diesel e91 in NA currently!

                    I had a 88’ M3 posted that bidding ended 7-6-19’ , my reserve was $43k , based on the previous month, (2) also white sale price . Well my car got to the last moments of bidding & my (2) high bidders both crashed and bidding was a no sale at 37,500. I was able to keep the money going on my own & almost got to reserve . Sold it myself ! After that Ive heard of other of other crashes at that last moments is all I can say about that , a store to tell

                      Seems like no reserves are just coming left and right:

                        That wagon is inspirational. Had an e39 528it come in and the owner bought a 540i with a m/6 as a donor car. After some paperwork, apparently the next project here at the shop is an e39 540it m/6 m-sport.

                            Car was posted for $40k obo if remember correctly on S14,net. At the end seller wanted a good home. Car was a work of art and a labor of love. I really need to start saving money.

                              Alright, this is nuts. How is a similarly equipped 325i with half the miles worth less than that 318i that just sold for $7,900? Engine bay detailing not good enough? Cloth comfort seats somehow less desirable than vinyl comfort seats? Seller's lack of insight on AC service? Repaint turning off the collectors? Both cars similarly clean outside, the 325i was stated to have "zero rust" vs the 318i with stated battery box rust.

                                I agree, the 325i was the nicer car, and I was bidding on it. The car was accurately presented as I had it in inspected at a shop in Virginia. I am second guessing not going beyond my final bid attempt of $7,400. By not winning the auction though, I am still sleeping in my house as opposed to my wife getting me a hammock to sleep in the garage with the cars.
