It might be local to Milwaukee and Waukesha county, I rather not say. If you want, feel free to PM me and we can chat offline.

Unfinished, but complete looking e21 project. Probably worth it just for the aftermarket parts...

Judging by the location Im willing to bet this is the guy by woodmans that has 3 or 4 2002's. Older guy, he waved at me once when I was driving my W124.

Tint all the things. Still a fair deal for the miles and condition. I do not trust Chicago though.

That is an extremely low price on a 330,  I like Red on other peoples cars, just not my own. Thanks for thinking of me, even if it was a jab. 

I don't want a project car. Therefore I will remain picky

This E46 has popped up at least 3 times in the last 18 months. Each time it has the exact same pictures and a low price. After about a week or two, it'll disappear and resurface later on. Not sure what to make of it.

This one has fallen through the cracks in previous searches of mine, looks pretty decent for what it is. Minimal visible rust (who knows what's underneath though), and a 5 speed. Could be a lot of fun for someone.

I mean, I rather have the real thing, but you can overpay for aluminum ones if you want..

agreed the price is insane. they are clearly targeted at very well off owners, i.e. replica DTM e30 m3 builders. the wheels are just so pretty.

if you can find a set of real 5x120 e50s for sale right now, you'd obviously get those instead. but youd be hard pressed, i imagine.

They are very handsome I agree. Aesthetically I really like them.

I was just getting at the ludicrous price for "replicas" when you have the option of finding a real set for the same, if not less.  

I did look, and found a few sets as it seems they made quite a few, but it really depends on the specs. You are better off buying the faces and building a set. I bet this place has a set if you were really looking....

I get its an e30 m3, but $25,000 for a salvage title shell with no drivetrain?

He'll probably get it. People dont care if its a track car. Also consider this; if you have a track car and smash it, here is a good replacement.
