This is a car I built up in the early '00's. Basket case to a great driver. Not collector grade I would think due to non-matching vin on chassis and block, but this is the one you want for spirited driving.
My daughter got into a health care jam and had an insurance company, whom she paid regularly, refuse to honor legitimate bills, which is what insurance companies do. "If you want it, come and get it." Anyway, I sold the car and helped her out. Of course I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but that was the one I wanted to keep.
It appears the price of the '02's are rising fairly quickly. Too bad. They are a fabulous car to drive and fun to work on and the parts are still reasonable. The '02 was the car that saved BMW's ****. I watched them run at the Glen when I was a kid.
Auction pricing is pretty crazy at times. I would say this went at over double what market "should" have been, but again, auction environments are....unique. I sent a note to the Auction house asking them to have the buyer contact me so I can tell him what he has. Haven't heard yet. That car has all the tasty bits.
