Arma 134 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Beautiful. Are they really worth that much?! I guess whatever enthusiasts are willing to pay for it; great looking machine. Funky color too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Very pretty car. But @ 77 slides.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3193 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Nice car, good condition, provenance, 'sensible' upgrades that can be undone again if desired... But, yes. $77k? Prices in Europe are definitely on the up. When I looked a few years ago (and was put off by the first 5 cars I saw having bodged repairs to that tricky inner wing area) you could pick up an E9 3.0 for well under GBP 10k. Now good ones start at GBP 20-25, and the best are advertised at over GBP 50k. If this one is as good as it is claimed to be (check that inner wing box section!) then maybe the price is about right, by Euro standards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Ten years ago, I had read in a BMW mag that E9 coupes were going for silly prices in Germany, as were E3s and even yes the bread and butter New Class. Looks like that has spilled over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vtgts300kw 90 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 Would appear to be what international buyers are paying for mint ones, these are a true classic . Not sure about the M motor & 5 speed though, std chassis was not designed for them. Hopefully the rest of it has been upgraded to match? Racing versions were seriously hot When I saw it just before the engine was put back in it, the chassis hadn't been upgraded... and at the time, there were no plans to. My first comment, like yours, was surely that thing is going to twist? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 The engine is better than the old donk that are in them ... do any decent corners with the old engine and you're garenteed to run a bearing or 5. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwde30 81 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 Beautiful car. You are right though the price is high but they are becoming collectors items and demand is growing for them esspecially in the U.S. Going to do all I can to get my hands on one in the next year or two.
