This BMW is a MUST SEE!!! Paint is in perfect condition, interior leather is mint condition, runs fantastic. This vehicle is originally from Nevada so it is registered in the USA as well as Canada. Have appraisal as well as inspection reports, clean title. $19000 Canadian is a smokin deal! Appraisal is for over $23000
Found this a few days ago. Contacted the seller and still gathering info. Has this one been around the mye28 block or is the owner a part of this forum?
I'm working my way toward another e28 project and im looking for a solid starting place.
That's a nice looking E24. Thank goodness I'm at max capacity 'cause its in Ohio.
P.S. Kind of affiliated.
It is in Kentucky. Looks like the person that recommended it to BAT found it on a Ohio craiglist. I guess dad posted it in surrounding areas for exposure. It is a nice car. Even though I've driven e24s for 10 years every time I get behind the wheel of his it has a different feeling. He is a really meticulous man when it comes to cars and that 635 is dialed in for sure. Everything works correctly with lots of $$ receipts.
Definitely affiliated but I didn't want to start a thread for the car.
A low mile LSB S54 Coupe just set our new record... sold for $80k from EAG. Charcoal one went for $75k just a few weeks ago too...
that's insane. so many other cars to be had at that price.
One of (if not THE) lowest production run BMW ever..less than 700 S54 clown shoes ever made it into the US market. Combined with the back story of how they came about...it was really just a matter of time IMO.
It wasn't supposed to happen. The whole effort was driven by the M team up, against management support, instead of the other way around...
"The M coupe was developed under the leadership of engineer Burkhard Göschel with the intention of adding increased torsional and structural rigidity to the Z3 roadster chassis. The development team had a hard time convincing the Board of Directors to approve the model for production, but it was eventually given the green light as long as it remained cost-effective to produce...."

Nah, mine's an '07, which makes it the younger brother of those. They never did them in LSB to the best of my knowledge, which is a bummer. They did do Sepang, though.
Unless I'm mistaken, z4 coupes are still the stiffest chassis BMW ever made. The Z4 roadster torsional rigidity is I think 14,500 nm/deg and the z3mc is 15,000nm/deg.

This was extremely educational. I had no idea the cars were produced in such low numbers.
No kidding, those clownshoes are rarer than I thought. I used to see them all the time. Probably just saw the same ones multiple times. Guess I can forget about owning one, at least a s54. $75k is nuts. That's $25-30k more than it was new.

The S52 z3 based version had higher production numbers..but still very low by any standard. The z3 coupe (Clownshoe) body ran from 1998-2002, with 01-02 having the S54 (+75hp). I've driven every z (3&4) coupe variant. I love them all. I'm glad to see the S54 368 go the way of mint e28 M5s
Another crack head with 0 sense of value...it is a nice car...but c'mon!! I don't think it's a case of extra 0 syndrome either, based on the description...worth a call to find out maybe...
