That infamous red E24....

How much you reckon?

[Speedtouch]

It's not that bad, a bit snazzy but then it's a showcar designed to make a statement. If it were all sprayed black, it would look pretty cool.

[steve_k]

£3.50, a boiled sweet (wethers if their lucky ) & a pile of belly button fluff

reckin they'd take the offer??

[lance1a]

£3500

[pacerpete]

£3500

I would want a nice one for £3500 !

[ImysE30]

Is it advertised for 3.5k?

[BeemerBen84]

What the f*** has he done to it! This is the first time iv seen it like this. I REALLY liked it before when it was red all over with the M5 alloys... but now it looks like pimp my ride cheese! Im definatly not liking it

[SpencerLavery]

How has he got an MOT without any side repeaters?

[lance1a]

If it's sorted underneath and the interior is as good as he says, at least that. It wouldn't take too much to return it to something close to normal and solid ones are rare. I just sold mine for a bit less, but it needed some attention. You could more than likely find some mug to buy the alloys for a few quid to help fund the paint job.

[bmwsport]

Each to their own

Again why on earth would you do this to a car, i realy don't understand it, especially an E24 - a luxury executive sports coupe

And what is with the wheel choice

[ivqii]

So wrong on many counts

[capri_rob]

Horrible.

I would take it off him for free as long as he gave me enough cash to return it to its former proper OEM glory.

[Kos]

the more it goes for the better, then i can value mine higher

the car is rusty last time i saw it which was month ago

turd of the highest order

lance1a,

in what way do you think you can return it to something resembling normal/original ?

the bumper mounldings need changing the archers/wings need replacing due to the modifications, it needs a full paint job.

the guy has no taste , you should see the m5 he has !

[lance1a]

Hard to say but apart from some cosmetics.........
The bumper corners have been smoothed over where the black inserts should be, the arches look extended but hard to tell if the original spats would cover that. The front bumper finishers look ok...just painted and the actual bumper doesn't look too bad, it just needs a insert that follows the continuation of the bumper corner inserts to make it look normalish. And about a ton of red scraped off.

[Kos]

well trust me, i've seen more than a few times and spats wont go back on. the colour coded bumper mouldings need replacing. they are not cheap and when they are removed they often deform

this "thing" is gash, and i dont even think any one will actually buy it

[Andyboy]

Pity it's been ruined like that. If as much effort had been put into making it a nice, straight original it would be worth a bit...maybe. An E24 has got to be exceptional to make real money, and I can think of perhaps five exceptional examples in the UK. Kos' red one is such a car.

Exceptional means perfect panel fit and paint, zero rust, mint chrome and interior, proper wheels - as it left the factory, basically. There's plenty of snotted up old crap about with 180'000 miles and they're worth f*ck all.

How has he got an MOT without any side repeaters?

As long as the front and rear indicators , when flashing, are visible from the side of the car, side repeaters are not needed to pass an mot. An E30 does not have wrap around front indicators , hence any e30 post '85 (iirc) without side repeaters IS NOT MOT compliant .

Oh I know, it's a PITA Are the 635s indicators on the far corners then? I can't tell if they are on that one as they must have been blacked out. Your memory's good btw, it's April 1st 1986 (was researching earlier)

[Kos]

they are on the corners and they have been blacked out.

he should have bought the smoked ones

[ImysE30]

Over 4k already

[Kos]

some one is on drugs

[e30topless]

some serious "trotting" going on there, I hope his freind doesn't win the auction

[Kos]

some serious "trotting" going on there, I hope his freind doesn't win the auction

[stbaz]

thats vile !! give me a standard highline anyday

[Kos]

sold for £4609

by some one with zero feed back

i'll be waiting for the re listing to appear

[ImysE30]

Was just about to post up the same thing, reslisted in 1.2.3....

I'm sure you could find a nice decent condition standard E24 for similar money

[Rav335uk]

Nothing going on here then

[Kos]

no surprise

and no 2nd chance bidders tempted to buy it lol

[ImysE30]

Why doesn't he just stop the shill bidding and let the real people interested win/bid on the auction

[Kos]

becuase it will only sell for about £200 and the buyer will be either a somali/tamil/chav

that covers the tasteless ethnic groups

[Rav335uk]

Denial me thinks

[ImysE30]

Surely worth a couple of grand to the right victim as pacer would say
