Do you remember what it sold for?

That's actually a fairly sought after car right there. M-Sport, cold weather package, comfort access, 6MT with a desirable exterior, interior and trim color. The BBS wheels are worth something too, I'd imagine.

The car sold for 4100$ I bid up to 4k. I wasn't willing to bid anymore due to the stolen comfort access key. If I could go back i would and just buy it. It's was very clean. I have more photos if you want to see more of the damage. Note it did have a salvage title.

I assumed salvage title. I've just always been curious what a 135i/335i like that goes for at auction.

It was up on Copart for 7 months because of title issues. It also was a nostart. I credited that to the charge that blows up to disconnect the battery and fuel pump in the event of an accident. 

How much would it have been worth all fixed? I was thinking 11k?

Yeah, you're probably right to assume it was battery/fuel pump broken link.

The salvage title hurts value, I'd say around $9k currently.

It's crazy how they totaled it out for so little damage. This is the damage.

I couldn't see any bent suspension components either.

Mind you I was able to get under the car too when the forklift guy raised it up.

Wow looks disgusting but seems like a lot of fun for the price.

Mn is a "No Licence Required" state. That means you can bid without a broker from anywhere. When I bid on a 335i from NJ I had to buy a broker. Note I also lost it by 50$

Ahhhh thats how.

I was thinking of this differently. For example; I am in Minnesota trying to bid on a car located in Wisconsin. I can't currently (depending on the car) bid with a WI address so I would need a Minnesota address to get around that. But I assume it doesn't work that way. Its only for buy cars located in MN?

@wally509 this car would be great for someone like you thats handy with a wrench, not afraid of new tech and has low expectations for performance.  I see the other market for this car being the kid that just graduated college and wants to fit in with the rest of the parking lot at the office but wants to stand out from the jr associates driving the 3 series and a4.  My criticism hasn't been with the car itself just the ad.  If he spent the money on liqui-moly and ceramic coating then at least he was willing to spend money to take care of it.  Good luck!

The seller re-wrote the ad based on what was said here on the forum:

https://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/d/2011-bmw-528i/6765554534.html

My previous comment about the car being a "deferred maintenance nightmare" was inappropriate, I apologized to the seller for that.  That came out because I consider the water pump/thermostat, coil packs and oil filter housing gasket on N52's to be "maintenance" and not "repairs" since pretty much ALL of them will need to be done at some point.  Whoever buys this car will have those to look forward to, more than likely sooner rather than later.  Just because those haven't been done, doesn't mean it's a bad car or that the seller wasn't properly maintaining it.

He still didnt take our advice and lower the price. Dont think his FS ad is going to matter is he is still asking 9 or 10k. He should be asking 8500 and take anything above 7k

This looks like a pretty fair price to me, any opinions?

https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/d/2008-bmw-m3-e92/6762527319.html

Not a bad price but not a very desirable car on the whole. Melbourne is a low production color, and 6mt is nice, but what kills this car is beige interior and lack of CF roof which for many people wanting a E92 with a stick, is important to have the CF roof. What's ridiculous is that they actually paid to option out of it because the CF roof was standard equipment on the E92 M3. Lastly being a pre-LCI is kinda meh. 

But for someone who wants a low mileage V8 M3, it is definitely not a bad price at all.

Ad says parking sensors, none visible.
Also says running boards. Which is just an odd thing to say.
Seeing that the pictures are pictures of a screen, I would assume it's fake.
