pre modding ! Where is the Beemer today. ?
Seeing/hearing “beemer” always makes me chuckle. A gal I dated years ago was talking about wanting a new car.. I asked what she wanted and she said a “beemer”. Okay cool, any particular kind/model? “A BMW”. Yeah, but what BMW? “A BMW ‘Beemer’”. It took far longer than it should have to explain to her that “beemer” was a nickname for the BMW brand, and that they did not have a car called a “beemer”
I still don't know if there's a difference between "bimmer" and "beemer". I thought one was for cars and the other was for their motorcycles?

Since I'm buying the apex wheels I needed to buy new center caps anyway. I'll put the floating ones on the 826m's and take the standard bmw ones that came with 826m's and put them on the apex's.
The boat is currently docked in Zeebrugge Belgium which got me thinking, why does bmw ship cars by boat to Belgium when Germany is right next to it? You'd think train would make more sense. Should be leaving Belgium tonight and then going to Southampton in the UK. It leaves Southampton on the 20th and arrives in NYC on the 29th.
It’s interesting … my defender went by train from Slovakia to Belgium as well and then this way … this may have something to do with the carriers … I think Vulvas are made in Belgium and I doubt the entire carrier is filled by a singular brand so they probably use it as hub to group multiple cars together etc

The boats are very big. I'm guessing it was loaded in Germany, and just making a stop in Belgium to pick up more stuff. Gigantic cargo ships usually make a few stops on both sides of the ocean.

Probably.
Got the cashiers check from the buyer's bank. Once that clears, buyer will schedule pickup for shipping. Can't believe it's happening.

And she probably end up getting an e90 328i or f30 320i with pink wrapped just like this one hinge date i had one time.

Maybe it’s picking things up in Belgium to come to the states? There could be cargo from other manufacturers on board I would think?

Yeah probably. Ship is docking in Southampton soon and leaving on the 20th.
Buyer is using the C&B shipping option and the good thing is the shipper works on my schedule. They won’t take the car until payment clears which my bank said should be Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I just give them a call to schedule pickup.

Congrats on the sale and to Max for nailing the predicted outcome. Seems like a pretty decent result to me, the market is way soft now.
Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but I wish I did this a year ago. Probably would've gotten closer to 40 but I think this guy is getting a hell of a car for 36k before fees.
IIRC I paid around $39k for it when I bought it.
Been out of touch for a bit so read this auction from beginning to end. Well sold, congrats!

Such a good product at a fair price. I wish they made truck wheels.

Yep. Saved a bit over 600 dollhairs when you also factor in free shipping. I got 19x10 VS-5RS in anthracite. Planning to go with DWS06 for tires
