Kodachrome 168 Report post Posted yesterday at 08:58 AM I would have thought it being gutted and tracked to sh*t would make it far less, not far more valuable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2157 Report post Posted 15 hours ago You may still need to spend a lot of money on bringing the car up to standard too. The motor (where all the money is) would probably need a refresh (if it hasn't already) because if you lunch it you have a worthless vehicle and will be looking to spend another $15K + rebuild for a replacement.

There used to be a TradeMe vendor with that, or a very similar name, that used to list a few “odd ball” BMWs for well above market value, and get very snarky in the Q&A when people called him out on it. Got a bit out of hand at one point with a listing for an MCoupe I think it was and then they dissappeared for a bit from TM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't even have the M5 body kit anymore. If you wanted an M5 racecar, pretty sure you could grab a stock one for ~$40k, strip it and sell interior, body kit and other no longer needed parts that'd pretty much pay for a roll cage. What's a BBK worth, $5k max? He'd be lucky to get half of that asking price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chopping up a M5 doesn't make sense. Unless youre making a ringtaxi clone or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
