leichtbau 525 Report post Posted August 22, 2021 I suspect the mt2 market won't cool until hmm and seaview1974 have finally got their whales. They've bid on the last four mt2's and haven't won, so we're at least two cars away from a market correction. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inthegarage 14 Report post Posted August 22, 2021 Pretty car but he’s basically asking the market to pay as much as an M-Tech. More even. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would personally be surprised if it was sold for 25k. Jeepers! I think I am a pedant but I really dislike MT2 rear spoilers on pre-LCI cars, especially given how delicate the back of the convertibles are styling-wise. The MT2 rear bumper’s depth helps balance it out more? But I know some people will also love it. For me if it was manual, had the factory 15” basketweaves, the subtler lip spoiler etc then in this market maybe $35k+? I suspect the seller knows this but is also chancing the possibility someone falls in love with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a very nice car indeed but there's another (not as nice) Auto 325i vert that's been sitting on Facebook Market place for months failing at $20K. As nice as it is, the ceiling for an Auto PFL vert with 200+ kms on reps can't be more than $25k. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 477 Report post Posted August 22, 2021 He has the basket weaves with it for the new owner. The spoiler is ugly, but an easy fix (I have an mtech 1 spare in the garage). When people are asking silly money for 316/318 sedans or coupes, I don’t think his starting price is far off. That’s still a biiiggg gap to the last Mtech2 coupe (genuine not a hashed together copy). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted August 23, 2021 I quite like the colour of the paint and the interior. Definitely has that classic look. I feel like a Nardi wood grain steering wheel would pair nicely with this setup. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted August 23, 2021 With these asking prices going a little bit silly lately, has anyone actually seen a Non M325i or M3 crack $20K in the past 12 months? I follow what I can see publicly but can only recall the stunning Red 318is going for about $22K. There was a Silver 325i 2 Door with a 1UZ V8 asking $20k last year that presumably sold for close too it as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a good tidy honest car, “patina” and all. I have asked it nicely to convert into a manual coupe but so far it is not having a bar of it, so am likely to be a repeat “drink and buy” offender in the future and liberate RedSE to the market or do some kind of deal 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're not even the correct convertible pattern, and they're missing the piping that that style of sport seat should have. Don't get me started on the lazy stitching down the middle of the rear upper. If you're going to spout on about a "factory new refurb" and ask moonbeams you best get the details right imho. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a good price until the kms, I am not mechanically minded so to me it’s not looking like an opportunity, but to someone with a rough 325i already who could swapsies over things? Maybe ?
