Yeah, that’s a beautiful car, but $250,000? Yikes!

Beautiful! A classic model which won a lot of races in its day. It looks about perfect but $250K is eye opening especially for a BMW. I never understood why but maybe times are changing.

I own a 1987 M6, Royal Blue Metallic exterior with Lotus white leather interior. My Dad was the original owner. It’s an great touring car but definitely not a track car like the M3.

Really enjoyed my '89 325is, but nothing near $250K worth. Whatever.

I would take an E24 M6 any day over the E30 M3. I think that the E24 M6 is one beautiful automobile. My BMW mechanic has one in his shop that is a euro model and if my daughter wasn’t starting college this fall, I would be negotiating a purchase. I know the M3 out performs the M6, but I don’t think it out classes it. Just my opinion.

Obvious outlier due to low mileage and desirable trim. Sounds a bit crazy today, in 10 years it very well may bring even more
