Completely stock and never modded is the only way I would ever get one.

Probably with intent to avoid smog lol

Seems like a lot of work to just avoid smogging. Haha

A clean bill of health from a reputable shop along with a presentable interior would absolutely justify a $10k price differential.

The second car looks like the kind of car where you show up and start asking questions and the seller responds with "Well actually... *long rambling sob story that isn't entirely logical*"

BAT can create bubbles, but it can also pop them, the last 3 M5 tourings didn't meet reserve and capped out at a much more reasonable ~$2Xk than the $50k+ of the first three. And the comments can be great if they don't devolve into nitpicking the non-factory engine bay color or whatever.


And thanks to this thread I now know that my header will be good for another 2 years

To me, a 10k price difference can only be commanded by a never modded, mint example. imo, a modded car, even reverted back to stock, is devalued.

He even has a "Panty Dropper" sticker on the driver side window.

Everyone knows that women get physically aroused when you spend lots of money modifying a Civic. Dude probably gets laid constantly.

Love that color! I've been looking around for a good E36 328i/M3 as a second "fun" car but they are almost always white or black with the occasional avus blue.

I was trying to figure this out since the builder doesnt include GT trim and Thunder showed out of stock.

Any official word?
