Finally found a great spec after searching for almost a year.

This is my 3rd E92 and hopefully my favorite.

Many congrats! It shocks my just how much MR jumps out on these cars.

InnerBlueSkies · 11-30-2021, 06:10 PM

Looks like a great vehicle. Good Luck with it!

tdott · 11-30-2021, 06:13 PM

Nice, just saw it on BAT, congrats! Looks like a great deal.

UPSROD · 11-30-2021, 06:30 PM

Very nice, try to keep it!

More of a question of how long do I go keeping it unmolested and no mods.

Hope so. I thought it was gonna go for $75k!

SnohoRaptor · 11-30-2021, 06:54 PM

You scooped a good one for sure- I watched that one curiously.

Enjoy every mile!!

Blindside_137 · 11-30-2021, 07:15 PM

Very nice!!! It's refreshing to see prices are still reasonable on BAT. I thought this is a 65k car all day long. I think you got a fine specimen there!

Congrats!!

CarbonBlack88 · 11-30-2021, 07:24 PM

Congrats! I was following the auction - glad it went to someone here on the forum. Great spec.

Considering the low mileage I thought you did very well on the final bid.

Longboarder · 11-30-2021, 08:03 PM

Clearly worth it. Time capsule for sure. Congrats Petrol!!

Also importantly this is a standard paint color option and not a limited edition or customized color. It is not a "rare" spec or a limited edition (ie Lime Rock, Frozen, etc). It is an absolutely pristine condition ZCP car with low miles. That is what commands value. If it has rare paint, it might command a little more. But the value is in the condition of the car, first and foremost.

MPizza · 11-30-2021, 08:05 PM

Congrats! Don't forget to do RB's, those are probably toast

I hope so. If a dealer was selling this outright they would have had it listed for $75k

you keep it as is and barely drive it and it will continue to appreciate in value.

you start modifying it and bring the miles up and the value starts to drop substantially.

Good points. I may need another one w higher mileage to mod and enjoy while this one looks pretty

That's what I would do if it was mine. Once you hit 10k, the game and players change.

Helmsman · 12-01-2021, 02:09 AM

Wow what a car, congrats Petrol! 8k miles must be one of the "newest" to be found. Quick spray on the inside and it will smell like coming straight from the fab!

ando · 12-01-2021, 02:19 AM

Congrats on the winning bid. Good looking spec with MR and black.

Agree with "mileage increases value drops", however, high quality upgrades/mods that don't distract and enhance the true character of the vehicle bring value (as seen in previous auctions). Anyway, great acquisition and what a great spec'd E92.

Maybe to some buyers but not all. It will definitely limit the number of ballers looking for a time capsule sub 10k example.
