That asking price is nuts. Let's see if it will even sell.

IMO I don't think it would get much more than 30k on BaT

Yeah, they're dreaming. I'm not much into museum cars, except the ONE that the factory decided to keep in perfect condition for historic value. But why a rock stock base E30 with skinny wheels?

Sort of reminds me of those mythical stories of a kid who bought a brand new Corvette and died in Vietnam. The parents keep it covered in the garage forever as a shrine.

But it's a Corvette.

Ha! Super expensive low mile cars are museum pieces. I don't see the point in spending that much, you'd have to be the type to just stare at it in the garage. Buy a nice example with some decent miles on it for 1/10th of the price, if you like cars for what they're meant to do.

At the completely opposite end of the spectrum, you've got cars like this:

or this:

Which to me, are usually more interesting stories. And it's what a car was supposed to offer when we were youngsters - freedom to explore and create memories. Not as something to stand around, sipping wine and discuss the design merits.

I can appreciate something like this being displayed in a museum. I think 50 years from now, finding a pristine base* model car like this will be more uncommon than an M3 in similar condition. The reason being, no one wants to buy a base model BMW and then keep it off the road for 30 years.

Meh, not interesting to me. The cars that interest me the most are the ones with 500k+ miles that still look like someone gave a shit about it over the years.

Give this man a Like!!
