My 1M on Ebay

It's been listed twice before with a reserve just north of $60k, and although there was some bidding nothing hit reserve. Not sure where people actually were, but I am sick of responding to messages about reserves, so I just figured I'd put $60k as the starting price which is the minimum I'll take. Less than that, back in the garage it goes to be someone's barn find in 10-20 years.

I'm also brining it to Cars & Coffee in SF this weekend - if you're there, stop by and say hi.

Just out of curiosity, why are you selling?

posting it on a BMW forum like M3post or bimmerforums would be the easiest way for you to find a buyer. GLWS! Great car.

Thanks! I might post on Bimmerforums. It's on the CCA website.

If I actually had $60k laying around, I buy it from you. :(

Good luck with your sale.

I'm also bringing it to Cars & Coffee in SF this weekend - if you're there, stop by and say hi.

I wanted to check out C&C SF, however it seems pretty limited in space. Girlfriend wants to bring her new Msport (not real M) estoril blue 228i.

I have found I enjoy Cars & Caffeine at Club AutoSport in SJ more than the other bay area alternatives. A larger diverse spread of cars and friendly owners.

Give me $60k, and I'll buy it from you.

cool, I'm surprised it hasn't sold! Dealers are snatching these up so they can sell them for crazy prices. EAG is gonna start going after 1M's soon enough.

What's EAG? Also my local dealer offered me quite a bit of cash but (1) he clearly was just going to flip it and (2) I'd rather it went to an enthusiast.

This is only the second C&C in SF. I took my E9 to the last one and everyone was really chill.

Thanks for the info! My former comments were referenceing "Cars & Croissants", a Santana Row / Menlo Park affair featuring primarily high end exotic cars and less chatty owners.

Understood. But there was a ton of high-end stuff at C&C last time, including a few "one only" cars, like a 1950s Ferrari race car.

You my friend are an excellent seller. Glad people still want their cars to go to good buyers.

EAG is the bane of a BMW enthusiasts existence. They are a dealership that specializes in M cars and other rare BMW's. They are constantly searching forums and all the other usual car sites looking for deals. They always snatch up the good deals before us enthusiasts get the chance to. They offer a nice amount of cash and have the sale done by the end of the day. They'll pay cash for a car sight unseen. Then they "fix" anything that's wrong with it and inflate the price to absolutely crazy amounts.

On the other hand, if you are willing to let yourself get ripped off they have a great selection of cars and all their cars are top quality. I'd rather not pay an extra $20k for a clean E39 M5 though.

Great spec, exactly how I would've bought mine new. I've just put my 911 for sale. Realized the car just doesn't suit me (I'm 6'6"). Just got new tires last weekend and a major service in May 2014. How about a trade plus cash? :D http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/cto/457251…

EAG: http://www.enthusiastauto.com/

Lots of very nice BMW performance cars for sale, at rather exorbitant prices.

No space - otherwise I'd keep the 1M!

Yup, there's a lot of nice stuff on that page. And it's all really expensive.

I'm rather annoyed by how many E28 M5's they have for sale. The number of E28 M5's listed online has plummeted recently, and all of a sudden EAG has a glut of E28 M5's listed for 2-3 times as much..

I saw that as well. I'm sure those facts are, like, totally unrelated. /sarcasm
