e28 - Check out this bill from The Werk Shop

[wally509]

e28 533i on Bring-a-Trailer auctions.  Maybe I am out of touch with how much it costs to pay somebody to work on a car.

Please note the $19,250 to "get this car going again after long term storage" is AFTER a $6000 discount.

unacceptable! There should be a new cylinder head and professional engine and transmission rebuild involved to get the bill running that high.

Holy shit! I don't get it, spend all that money to get it up to Concours quality and then sell it for less than the invoice basically at market value.

I can say that the E34 M5 and E30 I got running with a buddy, the client/owner previously spent north of $40k with a shop for around 5 years to "Try" and get his S38 swapped E30 running. 

Best part is it took us roughly two weeks get get both cars running and dialed.

Better part is he then went back to that shop after we fixed them.

WTF is wrong with people?
