Mecum also has an M1 at auction and some tasty other vintage BMWs. You left coasters get all the toys.

I guess we'll finally see what the market says it's worth?

It looks like a nice driver. Yes, this has been for sale forever.

Never seen a front bumper like that. Wonder if it was a BMW OEM option at the time. If so very rare.

looks like something from the era ... similar to some of the extra protection that were available in the states for british sports cars. i forget the name of the company that made a lot of those products - Anco or something like that

Google Amco Bumper Guard, they were big in the 60/70s

 

[rsporsche]

this vehicle was on ebay earlier this year or last,, came out of AZ sold for around 17-19k I believe. if you look at the right front headlamp chrome trim piece its bent,, I believe it was determined this vehicle was in a wreck and a shady job was done to cover it up..... lets see if this guy can flip and triple his money to the unaware buyer..

Different car. You can't see the ebay pics anymore, but it was a 1973. The Mecum car is a 1972. The Arizona car had visible damage to the nose and fender. I think what you are seeing in the Mecum car is the typical wavy upper portion of the headlight grille.

[Darrell]

yea you are correct different car....

 

[Eiremon]

Coming up later today... I like how Mecum has the estimate at $55-65k even though the car has sat in the high 50's for at least a year.

 

[E911]

You never know... I would never think so but with an auction and a couple people who really want an E9?

 

[rsporsche]

well the people have spoken ... the bid goes on, it only got to 45k and did NOT sell.

 

[Stevehose]

Maybe that annoying crowd assistant dude with his histrionics couldnt gin up enough excitement.

 

[Eiremon]

10% in person fee, 15% internet fee - so it got close to $50k which I thought was very respectable. Reserve was probably close to $50k.

 

[E911]

They should have taken the money and run.
