Market commentary
Eberhard Shulz's Isdera (Ingenieurburo fur Styling, Design und Racing) built a production version of his gullwing-doored, Mercedes-powered CW311 concept car at great expense and in very low volume. The last 108i to sell publicly was a silver 1991 car that brought €690,000 in Monaco two years ago. The reported high bid here was similar enough and probably could have seen the car off to a new home.
