Space gray is the only thing appealing about that car.

Meh to the following -
Non sport
Halogens
iDrive
xDrive
100k miles

Not sure why this one was picked up by BaT.

You're right, not a great fit. For what it is worth, last October they turned down my 2000 323it. It had sport and xenons and manual tranny. All maintenance was up to date, so no leaks and no CEL's and no sagging headliner, etc., and I over maintain my cars. But it had 251k miles on it and they were not interested. If it is high mileage but not an old Toyota SUV, they won't touch it. You should guess by now I am still salty about it! Sold it to my brother instead, and he loves it.

1. Because it appears to be clean and unmolested.
2. Because clean, unmolested e91s that are for sale are becoming more uncommon (spare me the "unicorn debate").
3. Because not everyone lives in Nevada and wants a RWD car.

Same with my e82. It was a 128 6MT M Sport slicktop which is mega unusual.

It's odd they'd utilize bandwidth on a car that can be easily found in any decent sized city's craigslist.

There's nothing rare (and desirable imho) about the car. There are more non-sports than sports, there are more xDrive vs RWD. BaT is becoming autotrader/ebay. I miss their earlier days of only having a few rare-optioned cars.

Plenty of people in Nevada want AWD, don't forget the folks up near Lake Tahoe and Reno

I don't know if people are interested in non-91 cars, but I've noticed a couple of 5-Series wagons on the street this week.

Here are two for sale:

No nav, so it should score better on the ubersteuer-index.

Yeah- ok. Fine. But if the rule were to post ads only for manual cars for sale, this thread would consist of one post per month. Max...

But here is a photo of a 6mt car, if that is any better...

All jokes aside I totally agree with you. Although most people look for rare spec e91s a lot of these could be good starting points for projects, although they are too nice for that in my opinion.

Yeah, I bought a "daily driver" wholesale from a dealer last summer "as a project" because it is a 6mt car and it was going straight to auction.

But once I finished making the car correct, it feels like it is too nice to daily. So I have now defeated the entire purpose of the project because that car sits in the garage with a cover on it while I continue to use a hoopty old pickup as my daily.

I don't really get the "rare spec" thing. Sometimes it seems like people kinda loose perspective. I understand that RWD e91 cars are less common. But the e91 is an awesome car for ski trips - so x cars are more valuable to me than RWD cars. Other than in the context of trying to limit my depreciation costs, I really don't care what anything is worth to someone else.
