Equipment
Later BMW alloy wheels, quick ratio steering, optional polarized rear window, upgraded ignition and final drive (original comes with the car), tour tool kit.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Very good original paint without major flaws. The brightwork has been well maintained. The engine compartment is quite dull and aged, and the underbody is old with some road dirt. The interior has been very well kept and shows little use. Showing 64,611 believable km. Well maintained cosmetically with a few driver's upgrades for usability.
Market commentary
This is a world record for the model, showing that originality can trump a high-dollar restoration and that the 2002 Turbo is gaining major traction among collectors. Gooding sold one for $143,000 at Pebble Beach last year and that seemed like a monumental price at the time. $50,000 more for this one's originality and preservation (despite the modifications) is a generous premium.
