My comment was more of a dig at BaT bidders who go nuts when a low mile E30 M3 or Supra show up.

I wish you the best with the car and hope the circumstances were made a little better by you acquiring it from the previous owners.

But regarding the car, in that color and options and mileage it is a holy grail car! Absolutely superb. I would enjoy it as well! Right now, I'm sure many enthusiasts would order something similar given the dismal options on dealer lots right now.

I’d love to hear the story behind this one.

Very awesome find man. My last car was a 2013 128i in the same color as yours, hence the "IndyRed128i", jut without the M-sport package or LED. That is one hard car to beat. I stupidly traded mine in for a 228i M Sport, and honestly can say the 1 series has more character.

Enjoy
