Just saw this myself and was going to post but you beat me to it! It's going to bring all of the money including the alpineweiss tax.

Very similar to mine that sold on there at the end of last year. Built by Kaiv too. Interesting to see what it will bring. Much lower mileage than mine which might help, but still stock rear bumper and has a sunroof. Also chassis looks to have been in at least 2 accidents. We will see!

It looks like the perfect grocery getter and a true sleeper.

Been wondering when another touring would show up on the bat. This one sure checks boxes off. Still has standard side skirts as well…. some people actually want a sunroof, don’t forget. $30k+? I think so

Definitely going north of $30k at this rate.

I'd hope so considering he stripped a $28k 55k m3 to build it. :oops:

Mine should be posted soon, except it’ll be CA BAR approved. It’s interesting how he says it “passed smog 3 days ago” but it’s impossible because the smog shop he brought it to wouldn’t even know what to smog it as- it’s not a 325i.

Plus if he did smog it, it wouldn’t mean sh*t to the BAR. The BAR need’s to approve it first before any smog’s are considered a pass.

I posted it again this morning. My bad. Should have finished my coffee and opened my eye lids.

I got bored after watching 5 minutes of his drive video. He never got on it once. I wanted to hear, and see it RIP!

Agreed. I am not sure he will get all the money. Great ride, but a lot of coin in that build.

Respect to the guy for keeping it subtle and not rebadging it an M3. Though I'd be sorely tempted to get a 323i badge and swap the last two digits around :)

Started Life as a 323. Built by Jim Herrold, owner of Kassel Performance. All M3 components undercar, with reinforcement and rebuilt S54 when built in ~2015. I decided to stay with narrow body when I had windows-out full repaint done during the first year of COVID. I am now preparing for interior color change to Black/Hazelnut later this year. The objective is to bring it to the "332iT" that BMW should have built.

I'm not aware it was on social media when built. I am pulling together some images to tell the story during my ownership. Once I get to the point When I know the interior swap is about dome, I'll share a bunch then. I've posted on this forum a few times with this car.
