eBay is no place to sell a BMW anyhow...

why spend the time putting on all the little m badges on when:

1: its not an m3

2: you dont even do it properly

and then try to sell it as an m sports and bump up the price by 7 thousand dollars.

From now on I've decided to count out any car I might look at if it has an auto box. That makes a good start at counting out the worst of them.

The root cause though is BMW's own M-Marketing...

BMW did sell 4 door auto versions of the e36 M3 - I hope that was a one time lapse. However, with the blurring of the lines between the old slush boxes and the newer units, the third pedal could be in jeopardy of extinction.

actually, the 4 door e36 M3 is popular with racers as there is less body flex - the car is much stiffer.

i sold my old e30 on their.....cars are either grossly undervalued or grossly over valued and you hardly ever get an enthusiast, its always some person slightly interested with no mechanical knowledge or bmw knowledge...that was my case anyway

dont worry you didnt miss much, all you need to find is an auto 320i and imagine little m's stuck randomly across the car, but forgetting to put half of them on, then you take the price and double it! those little m logos cost a right penny you know!
