I would think anyone willing to pay that much for a TI is looking for an immaculately maintained, one-owner, "collector's car". The desirable color combo, shiny paint, and low miles are all good things, but the under-hood corrosion, wheels, and tint are not. I guess if you're willing to take $4k, then $7k is not a bad place to start....

Also, I are noob. What are this:

Those are airbags =] The really late models had them.

Weird looking automatic. Beautiful car, but crackhead price

That E34 is super nice but wayyy to expensive. 

Also, I never knew they made E39's in 4WD 

Anyone notice this black diesel E28 dropped its price again?

Here's a cream puff to add some contrast;

I feel like this has been for sale/ mentioned before;

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/d/1991-bmw-325ix-e30-awd-5/6385885383.html

Also a friend of mine has a business transporting motorcycles and happened across this E30 and bought it. Now he decided he doesn't have time with his new business and is selling it. Super clean early model with 1 owner and all of the service records.

Same, But I dont know what I would do with it. I already have too many projects

[stealthbimmer]

Interesting. Cant say I have ever come across a manual 7er

https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/d/1990-bmw-735i-stick-shift/6382249055.html

Yet another cracked out e30 owner. Great looking, clean car, but c'mon

That 7 series is nice. And I cant say I have seen a manual either.

The E30 is alot for what it is, but sadly seems like it checks all the boxes to put it in that price range. For example this 318: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-bmw-318i-5/

Fun fact: Late model (plastic bumper) E30 convertibles when optioned, had a higher window sticker than that of an E30 M3 when new.

Wow, didn't realize people were asking (and apparently getting) that much for late model verts, no wonder mine sold in less than 3 days...

[straight6pwr]

they arent getting that much. that BAT ended in reserve not met.

if a V12 with 2 snails can fit then a V10 definitely could, would be comical if it was just a Ram 2500 V10 with viper valve covers

[m42b32]

Actually, Ill take mine in an e34

[Earl]

I'd take that if it was prefacelift=P

Well... if you search on BAT, there are a few that DID sell for close to that, above and below.

Jesus. Would be sweet to just make that E31 a track car. Why part it out, they are so cool.

Viper V10's are overpriced truck motors IMO.  "prototyped as a Magnum 5.9 with two extra cylinders"  I will say that they are cool cars and I do enjoy them, just the cost of what they are doesn't tickle my fancy. With that being said, did you know the largest Viper parts distributor is in Wisconsin in the middle of nowhere? I have a great story about how I found that out, its just too much to type

"WE SPECIALIZE IN DODGE VIPER PARTS WE HAVE THE LARGEST SELECTION OF DISMANTLED DODGE_VIPERS IN THE COUNTRY."_

Agreed.  I am a pre facelift fan myself.

Without a doubt. Not saying its practical by any means. There are much better ways to spend that kind of coin with the same end result power wise.
