Weird. It looks like a dealer bought it, or was the winning bidder. I would assume the seller is the one that backed out thinking it was worth more than what the final bid was considering hes asking more now? 

I am also curious. Sometimes if you google the vin you can find out.

This is also possible.  Such is the game of listing no reserve.  The complaints about BaT service I see online are almost all people saying they won't let me set my reserve as high as I want.  Meaning they are likely people that think their car is worth more than it is.

If you read the comments, there was a reserve and it was turned off or reached at a certain point.

Any sense of what it went for?

At the time of me posting it the "Buy It Now" Price was $500

So either 500 or under

That steering wheel looks like it was designed and made by a stripper.

i think every italian designer has 'nude women' somewhere in their design inspiration

Thus why I think it will go with a car designed in the strippers and cocaine era.

I didn't say I was against this but "Wow, that looks like something a stripper might wear" was the first thing that came to my mind.  Strippers and cocaine... continue.

Read the description. Not sure if someone is trolling or this is a real ad?

Clean looking 740i M sport, black/black but with higher mileage.

Auto e34 540i, nice color though. Looks to be nicely taken care of.

If this wasn't so far away, I'd go grab the memory seats, taillights and spoiler/trunklid.  I can also spy what looks to be some style 5's and tan sport seats off to the side in a few of the pics, wonder what's up with those.

That red one seems very nice. Would be great with a 6spd.

That guy used to be my neighbor, he's got a Isetta project too. Didn't know that truck was his but I've seen that sitting around for quite a few years.

This dude must have had an obscene amount of projects and got bitched at by his wife or is trying to sell everything to buy something else.

Wouldn't be browsing Milwaukee or Chicago CList without seeing that house/driveway at least once.

love the cloth interior. (not available in the US)

the price is hilarious, though.

[Jdesign]

I agree. Neat car, dumb price.
