Not in the registry (bmwmregistry.com). Hope he gets it!

If this car comes with a well documented maintenance history, addressing all those issues we all know need attention on an 87k mile car, the price is more than fair.

Nice looking CSi.
Has bolts instead of plastic 'camloc' fasteners on the radiator air inlet cover.
Haven't seen this mod before.

**CaifanSC** · 08-17-2016, 12:53 AM

anyone interested should do a search in the forum for CD00018 and reach out to the registry. There is info on this car. It's the only Csi in the states in the red exterior with black/grey interior. One of a few world-wide.

**CaifanSC** · 08-17-2016, 12:57 AM

that vollenleder interior is just priceless!

**newmexicomatt** · 08-19-2016, 11:08 PM

Not affiliated, but it's always interesting to see what one of these rare beauties sells for.
47,329 kms.
Has the rear wheel arch 'half-extensions' installed.
Goes under the hammer this Thursday (Japan time) at the USS Tokyo auction.

Fender arches look tacky. Would those bring the price down?

**madman2** · 08-30-2016, 11:44 PM

Car looks really nice and with 4 B rating and low milage it should sell Very high....I expect 40K USD range at least!

At least 40k? At least 70k in my opinion.

re: bruinbro: Unlikely - I'm told they are easily removed anyway.

Start price is set at ¥9 million so that's around US84k.
My guess is in excess of €100k.

Rear arch extensions were required in Japan. They are fiberglass, and are put on with double sided tape. My 5.0 had them when I imported it from Japan.

Thanks for the explanation Roger. They have a JC Whitney look, glad they are removable.

Yes, a friend here in NZ also had them on his ex-Japan B12 5.0 Coupe.

**kiwiCSi** · 09-01-2016, 02:43 AM

I agree that they look "tacked on" and an afterthought. But - they are actually an ALPINA product with Alpina number on the back.
