I think $15k.
2003 330i ZHP; Imola/Alcantara 6 speed, 2002 330xi ZSP; Blue gray/Black 5 speed
nice/well kept car, surprised it fetched so low on a auction platform where as the owner is claiming he put more than 20k into the car (ouch if true!). He could have easily fetched more by a private party.
auction platform are worse specially BAT where prices are super inflated. Those were good days when you can fetch a resonable car from private party
and negotiate in your favor but I heard sellers getting greedy . any way we should stop making these auction platform rich folks(they are taking away your lunch and for free)
20K into it is complete BS. Where's the justification for this claim? The guy didn't even replace the cooling system at such high mileage and no records of it being done... really?
The guy clearly got the car with the intention of making a profit which is fine except when you try to do it in front of an enthusiast community, you get called out and righteously so, especially with lying about how much money he's invested.
This car sold so low because of all the cosmetic issues and the fact that it's an automatic. However, it's a really nice and rare color combo so even being automatic, it could fetch much more money if the cosmetic issues were to get addressed - headliner, pillars, cup holder and other interior bits, all of the exterior damage, etc. Maybe even a manual swap but that's not even necessary because there will always be someone who wants an auto ZHP.
My hope is that it's been bought by someone who will keep it, fix the issues, and enjoy it... not try to lie and make stupid money off of fellow enthusiasts.
Cheers
PS. His commitment and appreciation towards the community is clearly demonstrated by the fact that he hasn't even logged on this site since he shared the C&B link. Might not sound nice of me to say this but I'm happy that he didn't double his money under these circumstances and I truly hope this car is in good hands now.
