1985 C1 - CLEAN!!!!!

[Scooter]

Very, very, very tempted to throw down a bid on this one, but I think it will be expensive.

With the condition of the car and the very limited production numbers this is possibly the once in a lifetime opportunity to own this car.

Oh that is spectacular. But why can't I find it in the auction listings. What day is it up for auction?

**EDIT**
only 35 built, I wonder how many are still in existence.

[Scooter]

It was hidden in a larger grouping of cars. The auction system access I have changed in the last while, so it looks different than what most see. I find that it also sorts the cars different, so I'm not sure where you would have found it in your auction access.

Sold for 725,000 JPY which I think is a great deal for such a rare car in good condition like this one. E30 325i's with an auto transmission almost sell for this much in auction in Japan.

feit it was too good not to bid on myself - so c1 as well as last b12 5.0 on japanese will be landing on mars - mars pa - come to pittsburgh vintage gran prix in july and see them in bmw area

[Stirling]

Nice work! And that B12 was lovely too. Congrats bigmichy.

[bigmichy]

thanks for that stirling - its like potato chips - you cant just have 1 - i am now up to 5 alpinas and 10 total bmw's - hope i can hide most from wife - need to update page but alpinas now include - 2007 B7 - 1991 B12 5.0 - 1990 - B12 5.7 ---1988 B10 3.5/1 and now the C1

all this started in 2008 when she wouldn't let me drive her 650i conv so i had to get my own - think i need an intervention

[Stirling]

LOL. You DO need an intervention. I think a few of us on here will be happy to come down and relieve you of your addictive substances!

[Scooter]

Wow! Lucky you!!!

How are you able to import the B12 though? It's not 25 years old :confused:

[bigmichy]

i could tell you but then you would be as smart as me. LOL just kidding ... you basically can bring any car in depending on how much money you want to spend --- at over 25 yrs nothing is required they come straight in --- at 17 yrs plus you dont have any EPA worries just safty , so you may have two or three things to do, lights, inside door beams etc -- fairly minor issues and when the first one has been dont all others come in under the same code --- under 17 years you can get into some big bucks and you try to avoid

the B12 5.0 is the second one in country and i thank Roger for paving the way.

there also is a way to get vehicles into canada cheaper and i,m looking for a canadian partner if any one is interested

[testdriver]

wow, that's quite the collection. where can we see photos of those gems? you definitely need a gallery on here. :D

what would you like to partner up for exactly? i've important a hand full of cars into canada (latest one going on it's way next week).

[Scooter]

If you bought a B12 5.0 last week I guess you didn't buy this one since it's a 5.7.

I watched it since it looked clean and I seem to love big sedans. I can't get myself to buy another V12 though.

Got yourself an E39 B10 did you? ;)

[testdriver]

@rogbmw
i agree. if you have too much money owning a V12 is absolutely no problem. :p

@roadster-s
that's the one. not for myself though, i'm just taking care of the logistics. ;)
