Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Gorgeous highly and accurately detailed engine compartment. Clearcoated original paint cracked at the hood opening corners and orange peel above the rear window. Good but aged original upholstery. Clean original undercoat. This may be the best 400i in the world.
Market commentary
The bidders were suitably impressed by the condition, originality and particularly the 5-speed of this 400i, a model that usually has an "a" apprended to indicate an automatic transmission. They paid generously for it, exceeding even the usually optimistic pre-sale estimate range of $80,000-$100,000.
