Nothing too outstanding about this car (though it does have real Alpina wheels), but it does include one very cool feature: The seller will personally fly the winning bidder to pick up the car in his Cessna! What a cool experience that would be! Just had to feature this one:

1986 BMW 635 on eBay

Considering the pre-73 911's carry such a huge premium these days, early 912's are looking better and better all the time at half the price or less in many cases. Here's a sharp 912 driver that popped up on Roadfly for just over $10k.

Now there's something you don't see everyday!

Copperhead Cobra on Autoblog

Apparently was fitted at delivery with many Alpina parts and has since had many more added. A very cool car and I love the Alpina livery! And being older than 25 years, should be little hassle to import to the U.S.

1976 BMW 1502 Alpina on eBay

UPDATE: This car has been relisted due to the previous auction not meeting reserve (highest bid was $12.1k)

dc

Current bid is almost $17k, and reserve has not been met. Only 37k miles! I'm honestly expecting over $20k for this one, as it's one of the cleanest one's I've seen yet -- at least in pictures.

eBay auction for 1988 BMW e30 M3 with 37k miles

UPDATE: Winning bid was $25k!

And how do they celebrate? With the unveiling of a complete lineup of aftermarket goodies for the original M3 including extensive engine modification packages, interior/exterior cosmetic upgrades, and making nearly every exterior panel available in carbon fiber! Hello power to weight ratio racer! A very timely announcement considering the resurgence in market popularity that the e30 M3 is enjoying.

Take a look at the e30 M3's featured on Tj Rubley's Online Classifieds Car Show!

I'm so glad that the real deal hasn't deviated much from the concept shown a couple years back. George at Swedespeed snapped this pic:

Check out more pics on the Swedespeed forums.

Here's the original concept:

Nice job Volvo!

This popped up on Roadfly today, a gray market 850csi! Some of the highlights that make the euro stand out from the watered down U.S. spec version:

• AHK (active hinter kinematics) active rear wheel steering
• rear differential oil cooler
• engine oil cooler
• 345mm ventilated front discs with four piston calipers
• 328mm ventilated rear brake discs
• AUC
• front headlight washers
• electric rear sunshade
• headlight dipping control
• high flow metallic core catalysts
• BMW M Technic exterior mirrors
• Professional RDS radio

While the price of this vehicle at $65k is higher than what I normally like to feature on this blog, it's a very rare and special car that deserves some attention.

A great little video of a Golf GTi MK1 2.0 16v at the Nurburgring in the wet at YouTube.

Inspired me to knock the dust off our MK1 track day car and wake up the neighbors with a quick blast through Kings Valley. No pics though

What appears to be a great little driver on Roadfly: 1961 Porsche 356 Super

For ~19k you get a driver with recent maintenance and a rebuilt motor. Paint looks good enough to pass the 5ft inspection.

My wife would love for us to own this, but I just can't see myself owning one at this age. I'll kick myself (kill myself) 10 years from now.
