A single cab 4 door?

:thinking:

 

[JustNN]

Thats a great buy, i would expect it to come with bbs rims or something thou:thinking:

 

[Spy007]

MMMMM any reason why I can not use it as a daily drive...... MMmmmmmmmmm

I assuming its cause it only has one seat (drivers seat), guess you wouldn't need more that the driver seat



Damn I wouldn't mind having this :drool:

If I got it I would have no problem taking a spray can to it the paint job is horrible... I hope someone from the forum gives it a good home, but the price does seem a bit high considering you can probably get an M3 for the same

 

[Sankekur]

Personally I kinda like the paint job, without the specs its hard to say, but I would be surprised if this thing can give an M3 a very hard time at the very least, plus as a race car this would probably be easier and cheaper to maintain than an M3

 

[moranor@axis]

I'm pretty sure it will kill an M3 on the track... But I still don't think its worth the price yes it has had a lot of work but how much of that needs to be redone because of wear and tear...

Sure brand new I would pay 400k for it but as is I don't think its worth more than 150k

 

[Sankekur]

I think it would greatly depend on the actual condition, so I can't really comment about the price.

 

[moranor@axis]

I don't know hey any track car will need work and if there are a lot of custom parts it could get very expensive. Guess it all depends on what class it was competing in... I just feel that's what its worth to me

 

[Sankekur]

I am guessing the kind of person that buys a track car will know that it will need a lot of work, most likely it will need and overhaul (not the show, a real one ) every two three times it was taken out on the track, this of course depends on the level two which the engine was modified, for this one it was probably a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised if it need an engine rebuild after every track outing. Motor racing, it is expensive business

 

[moranor@axis]

Its still cheap compared to how much it would cost to build another one but I think they will take less

I'm sure the running costs will quickly run higher than the cost of the car if its tracked often

 

[Sankekur]

And it will definitely be tracked often, else there would be no reason to have it

 

[moranor@axis]

Doesn't seem like anyone from the forum is interested :thinking:

 

[Sankekur]

I think a lot of people are interested, but I am sure most don't have enough money to act on that interest (myself included )

 

[Legacy]

Wonder if you can get finance on it:mmm:

Wonder if you can get finance on it:mmm:

If the car is still code 2, you should be able to get finance, but probably at a maximum of normal 330i retail value ..... just my guess on this, as I'm seen some guys finance track bikes this way.

 

[moranor@axis]

I think a lot of people are interested, but I am sure most don't have enough money to act on that interest (myself included )

i would be interested if i could get it for 50k cant afford much more than that now...

 

[andrewbuch]

I would rather get a normal 330i as I will spend most of my time in the car on the road & not on the track
