Oh my, everything that my 91is is not. Beautiful car. Crazy prices but the way the markets have been maybe not for a BaT auction.

Christ that thing looks nice. 12k isn't *that* steep if it's truly a rust free car, has an LSD, and is as well-maintained as advertised. I want to buy this but I'm also out of room now having 4 vehicles. Great find I kinda hate you right now because I'm so tempted to go look at this lol

Am I the only one who really wishes he didn’t paint the euroweaves in that color though?

The weaves and caps being a slightly different color make them look like they're buried in brake dust

Price used to be 16k, I honestly think that's a really good deal for 12k. That car looks incredibly well sorted, they'll only get more expensive

Did he relist it just recently? Wasn't it listed at 15k when it got posted here?

12k seems like a pretty good deal now given the level of care and condition of it.

Could've been 15k, either way looks like it had a significant price drop. It would be tough to find one in as nice of condition, plus the interior with the tan inserts on black door panels is super cool if it's original, I don't think I've ever seen one like it before.

[Boris3]

Agreed, the price did drop from the initial listing. Too much push back? Crack hit wore off? Hard to say. Anyway, seller should still explore BaT if he's looking for over $10k.

As for wheels being more gunmetal than stock, I really didn't notice until P_Roloff mentioned it. I was more blinded by a brillantrot 318is that wasn't a sun-washed out, faded reddish pink.

You sir, are probably alone on that one.

Fair enough haha. I suppose I should rephrase, I like the color, but not the way it was done here. For wheels like euroweaves the all gunmetal look is weird to me, but with a silver lip I think it sets it off well. Like @m42b32 said, it kinda looks like they're covered in brake dust or something when they're all gunmetal.

Example:

Although I don't mind these for whatever reason. Maybe because of the centercaps?

[Jdesign]

Maybe its the centercaps. Im not sure. To me they all just look way too small LOL. Leaving the lips silver makes them appear cheap and even smaller IMO. Different strokes for different folks.

Style 20s

$3800 without wheels? So $700 for a set of style 20s and the turbine covers. Don't these go for $1500 easy with the covers?

If only. My plan right now is to throw an S85 in the E46 and then take the S54 and drivetrain from the E46 and put it into an E30.
