<![CDATA[1997 318ti Active Package on BaT]]>Hey Guys, Just wanted to post up my 1997 318ti that is currently live on Bring A Trailer!
If anyone has any questions feel free to reach out either here or preferably in the comment section of BAT!

This thread can double as price guesstimates as-well!  I was stunned it hit 5k in under 2 hours. 

Price is right rules whoever gets as close to the high bid gets a crisp high five!

So.....$6500  Is that good or bad?

Good!, I figured by keeping my hopes high it would get past 8, $6800 final price.

Its going to go to a great new owner in New Jersey!.

Ah well, thought it would go for much more. No high 5 for me. 😞

Congrats on the sale! 

Thank you!

read first comment:

"I hereby attest to telling my friend @Achman that, due to my being deep in a “House” marathon (“everybody lies”), it would be funny if I ended the story that way even though I DID believe him, and that he DID actually say “I’ll take one for the team.” :^)"

what? yup, business as usual with the useless posts and trolls.

The pattern seem to be either a) steady bidding followed by mad frenzy, or b) a first wave of bids-a bit of quiet-then a second wave at the end. The fact that BaT keeps on extending the 2 minute window at the end if a new bid is posted has changed the the whole old style poaching strategy. Might as well wait rather than show your hand though a big statement bid can scare folks off (for example if the next bid is $10k).

You've got several bidders all within range of each other, and the ti supporters are saying good things. Second wave should be fun. 

Meanwhile we can wonder if the seller with the 1957 BMW 507 is worried over waiting to break $2 million?   

100% That 507 is baller as hell.

Hang in there. The idiots will crawl out from under their rocks as the auction progresses.

It was crazy in some of the e30M3 auctions earlier this year. If you’d click on the user names of the biggest trolls with their “expert” opinions most had never bid in an auction or put something up for auction. It got so bad that BaT finally started deleting and banning posts from some of them.

I can't read the BaT comment without getting annoyed. Good on you for not losing your shit yet.

lol, You should see the facebook comments. I really wanted to lose my shit on the guy telling me my cars been repainted on the rear quarter but I had to hold back.

Stupid that I have to explain how Alaskan blue will change from purple to blue depending on the angle you are looking at and the angle the sun is hitting it.

I had a super clean 94 with an exhaust. Great car until I put a rod through the block.  We're talking about Corollas right?

Yessir. I think in general I've sent more clean Corollas then TI's but they also made millions of them in comparison.

Also I'll take $8700 Bob

I vote $12.5, on the expectation that BaT escalation effects will kick in. Keep on answering questions and updating pics. Add the typical BaT seller videos (walk around, cold start, drive with sweet exhaust sounds ). 

Just added this morning!

I appreciate the kind words Pat! I was expecting 6k, Not in the first 2 days though. So we will see where it goes.

If you think about it. Its harder to find a clean 318ti then a clean m3. The TI was an Economy car when new. This one had a sticker for 29k
