    Comment by the high bidder on the E9 auction ending soon, in the midst of a bidding war 

    "I’ll dip in to the kids college fund if I have to."

      So Ive never watched one of these BAT auctions... Im watching the 3.0CSi right now. It actually adds time when there is a bid. Kinda odd.

        Told you. Some type of bonus round crap. Takes forever for an auction to actually end and determine a winner.

          yeah that's their anti-sniping tactic.

            Prevents the snipers I guess. More like an actually auto auction, compared to ebay where someone can swipe in and bid without giving everyone a chance to bid more.

              So for the non-E30 inclined folks (me), what's this thing actually worth? Went from $12k to $17k pretty quick.

                Nothing worse than hitting F5 at the last second only to find out you've been outbid by Jabar8472

                  As with everything....whatever someone will pay for it. You could build the car for cheaper than its currently at, but finding a clean shell is the hard part. Way overpriced IMO.

                  and just went to 21k

                     $15,000 would be a fair deal for the buyer. anything less than 12,000 would be a steal.

                    north of $19,000 and you have to start demanding an S52, LS, turbo, impeccably clean chassis or other value adder, from what ive witnessed.

                    aaaaand its in the 20's

                      Thats what Im thinking. It is a very nice car, but it is still just a s50 swapped e30 with bolt ons. 

                      $23,750... seller is probably jumping around right now.

                        My E30 isnt nearly as nice as that one, but even though the performance should be similar between my modded M52 and an S50, i'd probably only get $7000-$8000 for mine , add an S50 and it would probably pull $9500-$10,500 on account of 0.2L an MPower beauty cover and the letter S.   Not belittling the S5x  but from a driver's experience a modded M52 in a base model E30 will perform nearly identically to an S50 swapped E30 M3 but for about 1/4 of the price.

                          just gonna go out to my garage right now and admire my S65.  Final sale price is laughably overpriced but that's the BaT tax for ya

                              It was definitely pretty, but nowhere near $23k pretty...

                                    exactly - you'd be leaving money on the table by doing anything less. People are fucking dumb and will pay extra just because it's BaT which means nothing like it did when they first started listing cars and were way more picky and thorough with vetting stuff. I've seen some ridiculously low-rent pieces of shit for sale on there which just proves how much they are chasing dollars instead of providing a boutique auto selling service.

                                          Right? I remember 10 years ago, BAT has changed a lot....now you can list a 150k+ mile e30 318 with some bolt ons and it will probably soar north of 10k
