This was in a parking lot just down the way from my place. It is very clean.

I messaged the guy, He said he has 3 really interested parties coming to see it this week/end. I was thinking of getting it for the hardtop and relisting it, but I already have a hardtop in the works. It looks very clean in the pictures.

Thats neat, I love the story of the isetta. The single door is much more interesting IMO. Crazy the amount of money they go for.

On a side note, I will be headed to the windy city this week or weekend to scope out a hardtop and buy a door. If anyone needs anything else shoot me a PM!

I'd be all over these if I had an E36 or E46. Dude's had these listed for awhile. Someone offer him $400 and be done with it.

So one thing I have noticed this morning since craigslist makes you pay to list cars, there are no more robot ads with pixelated images for insanely really good prices. 

Anyways, here are a few interesting cars I found on this Friday morning;

rough, but $1500 E90 (winter beater?)

Also, here is some interesting news. I stopped at the old 608 Motorsports last week when I saw the garage door open. The place has been vacant for about 2 months now minus a certain twin turbo E24. Backtrack about 2 days prior I had a friend of mine ask me if I wanted to buy this E24 as he knows one of the previous owners of 608. It turns out there are some mixed stories on the car, but the owner has shifted interest into the CBD world and is no longer pursuing cars. Its unclear how much he wants for it, but I understood that $6500 is roughly the price now. 

Anyways, I poked my head in the open door and there was one guy in there doing some remodeling. He said his wife was renting the building as they are opening a baby goods? store. He said that hes tried multiple times to contact the guy from 608 to move the car, as its in his way. He said if its not out in a week hes having it towed into the parking lot as he doesnt have keys. It old him everything I knew about the car and the 608 story and I was able to get some pictures and video of the car. It seems fairly nice,  and the turbo kit may or maynot be an alpina kit. I wasn't able to look too closely as the guy was kinda breathing down my neck the whole time asking me questions. I snapped some pics and a video and left, see below.

I can't read this without picturing someone pulling up to a show at driving height, getting out and going to each corner with a core tool then getting a bike pump out to raise it up to leave.

Does the dude chase money or....? 
Seems like an odd passion switch.

Either way, neat car.

There must be some heinous electrical or mechanical issue with these.

I get the E6X 7 series vibe from these.

*or depreciation is a bitch.

depreciation is right

5er/7ers have always dropped like a stone in value. now, besides the extra expensive interior gadgets, electronics, and such that fail, they also have unreliable motors.
