Thanks as always - I am starting to get renewed interest again - weird considering its November now.

Timing is weird -- all it takes is one buyer, and that person could show up at any moment. It's like waiting for stars to align.

AMEN - bump.

I'm wondering how your car would do on B.A.T.? It's absolutely stunning. Verts appear to be enjoying a resurgence amongst E30 enthusiasts.

He's tried before. They couldn't agree on reserve, but probably worth another conversation..

What was the reserve? $23,500?

Any driving or walk around video?

Thanks for the suggestion! Added some to the OP.

They capped the reserve at $14k which is unacceptable to me.

That would be unacceptable to me too if I were you! Good luck with the sale!

BaT is ridiculous sometimes with the friggin reserve pricing. One day, I'm gonna kick myself for not buying this car when I had the chance. GLWS

To tell you the truth, I don’t get where BaT gets off dictating reserve prices in the first place? You don’t see that on Mecum or Barrett-Jackson. Sure, you pay them more to auction your car with a reserve but so be it. If I get my asking price, the increase would be absorbed.

Plus, a seller can also release a reserve at any time. So, someone explain to me where is BaT is losing by mandating reserves? I’ll tell you where they’re losing...with sellers who refuse to use them cause they can’t set their own reserves...

(Ok, I’m thru ranting)

Hahaha you're preaching to the choir! My best buddy was selling a 2003.5 30k mile LSB E46 m3...when I tell you the damn thing looked new, I can only implore you to trust in my discerning eye. I think he ended up selling it in the high 20s, but BaT wouldn't allow a reserve above like $17k. Their loss, obviously. I won't deal with them, though I've actually heard good reviews. Regardless, I don't blame OP for a second for refusing the ridiculous reserve they offered.

^ I had a similar happening when I sold my 3 owner, sub 60K mile 1984 944. Exterior had paint chips, a 2 small dings. Interior was MINT, original velour seat inserts, Blaupunkt radio, everything worked as intended, etc.

I told BAT I wanted to set my reserve at $7k....they said, no, and suggested something around 1/2 that. The car sold privately for $7,750.

Anyway, GLWS OP. I don't understand how this hasn't sold.
