The seller posted:We can chat about the ambiguous possibility of this cars past history which is not known to me or we can focus on how clean rare example this car is with such low mileage 18,500 and glorious V8 engine with its sport exhaust. Confidence inspiring! What's RNM^?

You're also missing the quote:We would like to first inform anyone who doesn't know, that EAG is now under new ownership. We have an announcement being prepared, but we feel it's important to note that someone involved with the business for 19 years (writing this now) and a well known enthusiast now hold this title. We uphold previous standards while understanding previous deals and stand by them all. Someone got caught with their pants all the way down if you're going to drop that bomb on a C&B auction.

Okay I read some of the comments. My RNM was just looking at the car on surface level and seeing all similar auctions go RNM, lmfao if an EAG doesn’t get sold back to EAG there is no way in hell anyone should buy it tbh

Alarbus posted:There's lot to unpack in the comments there with prior owners, including EAG. That was super interesting to read. That seller is so hurt and I think the previous owner that popped in to drop that stuff was not doing it with any sort of malice but just trying to share information. The PO that is dropping that information; he is absolutely correct that info can be viewed but you have to "know a guy" that works at a dealership and the reason they will not print out or share is because it will have prior ownership personal info which is totally uncool to just give out to rando people. You will see internal work orders for ALL warranty work requests etc. I had a couple cars that had details brought up, stuff about rattling things fixed, squeaks fixed, full on replacement components fitted and more. You will see the "in-service date" which is when the clock on warranty stuff starts.  For the seller to tell that guy "No way you have that information" I am almost certain that dude HAS that info but isn't wanting to spill that tea because it could affect someone's employment status. Related/somewhat unrelated; last week I messaged the dude I had been discussing my car with and told him I was not prepared to sell the car yet. I told him that in any circumstance I would not take a dollar less than 40K - warts and all. It doesn't really have warts, but when it is your "baby" and you have had it for 7 years you can point out every single flaw with ease.

Them posting stuff like "It's an exciting adventure learning about this vehicle's history as a group" and "You need a contact at a dealership to find out all this information. How could we have known?" is

lol it turns out that the information the PO is talking about is available to anyone who asks for it.quote:The vehicle inquiry I am referring to is a sales vehicle inquiry and not the warranty inquiry. The sales vehicle inquiry is public facing and is usually what a dealer would print out and give to a prospective customer. This sheet would shows the options on the car, pricing, build date, and any disclosures, amongst other things. Warranty inquiry is different and is the more proprietary document that I think most are thinking about when they say “not easily accessible.”

EAG trying to pretend like this is all a big suprise when their whole gimmick is selling these cars at a huge premium but assuring you everything is legit and you would expect them to do this kinda legwork for the prices they're asking.

No CEL AFAIK, fingers crossed. 525i still on lifts, will switch them this weekend and see how the rear checks out. I can only get to one (1) car thing per month so I hope this moves me forward.

I was surprised to see it got more bids after the initial $40K when I linked it, after seeing the shitshow in the comments. Seller seemed like a megadouche with how he was responding to the "troll" PO

I am shocked the reserve was $50k with how he entered that listing and doing the typical I know what I got thing. I assumed he was wanting north of $65k. Also still shocked it sold at all due to the way the seller replied.

I'm a little surprised too, though if I look at their past E9x M3's it sold for the exact same amount as a 2013 with 17K miles on it: https://carsandbids.com/search?csort=10&q=e90%20m3 So they probably suggested that as the Reserve to the seller

$50k for a used track car that may have been basically totalled at some point and has lived in Iowa as well is absolute insanity. This isn't the same Lime Rock car and the sales happened 4 months apart. One is a NY car and one is a CA car. Mine never even gets rained on, let alone the hazards of winter.  Somewhat Heroic better not have sold his non-accident car for $40k!

Oh, my bad. I thought all Lime Rocks were manual. Would definitely only get a manual in a unique-ish model like the Lime Rock (more motorsport oriented) but the DCT is still the transmission the rest of these cars are meant to have.

I dunno what happened with this auction but EAG (based in Ohio) has always been *the* bmw shop that would obtain primo low mileage examples, do a spare no expense refurb and sell them at exorbitant prices to rich guys who wanted to get a mint example of something without worrying about the car's condition or history. Then once they buy it the value plummets because it's a former EAG car not an EAG car. It seemed like a sustainable model as long as old bmws were desirable and there were enough rich guys.

If you were in the market for a used M car especially one with the more sought after options (manual transmission, rare paint colour) they would buy up all the low mileage examples and then resell them for an even bigger mark up. It caused(s?) a lot of resentment among enthusiasts. It's just funny to now see them talking about "the community" discovering the history of one of their cars instead of them having figured this stuff out given how they market themselves as selling premium examples of cars to rich people.

Hello BMW thread! The OP is really old and appears to be missing stuff like a Z4 someone would like added as per the mod report - quote:OP should have the E89 Z4 Chassis code added, 2009-2016. The original poster hasn't posted in the thread in nearly a decade. Could a bunch of stuff that is needed for the OP be posted so mods can edit it in? I'd prefer not to thread reboot but if that's what you all want we can do that instead with a shiny OP Thank you for your consideration

Ether Frenzy posted:"Buy an M3" covers most of it. No reboot needed. Or perhaps a M5? Anyone in the market for a nice E28 M5? Need to throw new tires and address a couple little things, see if I can find an uncracked dash, then this thing is going up for sale. I appreciate it but I don't really enjoy driving it that much.  The M3 is also for sale but that'll be heading to Bring a Trailer.

A dealer I drove past recently had an E92 M3 parked out front. Looked up their website; they want $35K for an 86K mile one listed wrongly as a Manual. They have it parked right out front so you see it as soon as you get off the highway... All covered in snow  Oh and also
