300+ pics, and can't get decent undercarriage pics. That car def. has some rust underneath, guess that is why he got a NR and I got a solid R for mine. Still will be nice to see where this one lands.

Also, a few notes:
1.) Too much tire shine on literally everything.
2.) Pillars are peeled.
3.) Headliner is coming down in the rear.

First 50k were in Texas though, so Connecticut salt may not have had much time to eat….

seller bought it a year ago for $19K on C&B: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KPMPzlPk/2004-bmw-330i-zhp-sedan

Will probably get a similar amount.
You may also get those two people that really wants that combo, and it goes super high.

looks like the C&B listing has *some* (not great) undercarriage shots.

headliner sag mentioned in that listing too, and looks like it's sagging pretty badly.

still, it's an imola ZHP with low miles. not easy to come by these days.

As the former owner of this car, no, it does not have rust underneath. At least not through the 6 years i owned it. Doubt it got rusty over the past year in CA.

Yup. It sat in the garage the vast majority of the CT winters.

Well you had a beauty of a car...... so the seller bought it from you? I bet no one could ease potential buyers rust fears over on BaT than you! I bet the seller would love for your to chime in on the commentary over there!

Thanks. The car was in strong mechanical condition, in part thanks to Botond who helped me with things like cooling system refresh, headlight retrofit and others. I sold it to the seller who was really good to deal with as well. I had the car from Jan 2017 to early 2023 and sold it because i relocated from CT to SC and didn't think would have space for a 3rd car.

The headliner was/is definitely sagging, but i never changed it because being short it never got in the line of sight when looking at the rearview mirror, lol.

sag or not, still a great example! Folks who love their cars and live in the Northeast know their garage queens also must get put away for the winter, my e93 M3 is calling me from storage now! Can't wait to get it out! Climate change has made this Connecticut winter almost more like a late fall..... questioning why I put it away!

at $15K with a couple days left. Looks promising for the seller so far.

[pedro2u]

Seems like he's got a pretty high hurdle though to make any money....

He bought it from you for $19K plus the $855 C&B buyers fee, plus whatever it cost to get it from CT to California ($1k at least...) Luckily you had it so well sorted that his only other out of pocket expense appears to be an air filter and an oil change. So he's in it for more than $21K, just to break even!

Maybe he just needs to get out of it....:dunno

He did get to drive it 2K miles :rofl

Ends in one hour. Current bid is $16,050.

[NYRhockey]

$18K with 20 mins to go. Should be able to get close to breaking even

[pedro2u]

Sold for $23,250. I'd say he barely broke even........... and someone got a nice car!
