So I know originality is expensive and the sport has been fetching good money but

£24,995 for a 318is .........bananas? :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

We will never know what it actually went for but it was only posted up yesterday and is now sold so I doubt they dropped much.

I see it's reserved.
Does that mean someone has taken 'dibs' on it?

Clearly people are prepared to pay for the good ones.

£25,000 is around A$46,000, which interestingly is exactly what it cost me to buy my E30 and my wife's F48 (combined). So yeah, it does seem a little bananas, even for such a nice example.
