Olaf 3235 Report post Posted March 26, 2022 This is a gorgeous example, been well cared-for for many years. You rarely see them like this any more. It presents very, very well, pictures not doing it justice. If you're hoping to buy an e24, this is the one; next year they'll all be $5-10k more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2373 Report post Posted March 26, 2022 The wheels are a crime against good taste, but the rest of the car looks stunning. Can't imagine there are many around as tidy. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine there are many around as tidy. the wheels are a very clever marketing ploy. like selling a house, you leave something for the next owner to make their own - like that slightly off colour in the bathroom. it makes them want to buy so they can put their mark on it. The wheels are exactly that, though meanwhile they keep it rolling and are more worthwhile than either metrics (oh god I can't afford those tyres, that puts me off) or fourteens (oh god!). Clever stuff eh? PS - they'll sell in a flash to Commodore owners. Easy money. Edited March 26, 2022 by Olaf PS 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
