1998 Pink BMW 318TI for sale for $2,500 ......... The custom pink paint job alone was $3,500 which is only 2 years old. 126,000 miles. Black lether interior in mint condition. Gray alloy M3 rims. Custom HID headlight kit. Custom sound system installed by circut city with high volume and great bass. Black tints on all windows. Chrome exaust pipe. I bedazzled the interior with swavorski crystal rhinestones Needs work. Moving out of state, must sell.

Wonder what kinda work it needs. That's very near challenge money, and a pink BMW amuses me.

Pretty good chance you'd be the only challenger with a bedazzled interior.

flat black wheels and a bejeweled roll cage would rock that up

Sometimes you guys just scare me a little.

Sweet. I've been looking for one if these.

If only I liked German cars... oi!

I love the concept of a bedazzled interior, but have checked the price of crystals lately?? You'd totally blow your Challenge budget. Acrylic just won't add the same bling!

sell the bedazzled interior and you're back in budget...

I'm secure in my manhood so I'll just come out and say it. I like it.

It reads as if my daughter could have planned and built it.

I've sent her the link. Who knows you might see me or her driving it.

I've been looking for a ti for a while. This one seems pretty good, just suffering from the paint choice. First asking price a few weeks ago was $5500.

My first thought wasn't Barbie so much as Pepto. Or maybe some really strange Mary Kay repmobile?

Imagine, spending $3500 for a paint job and THIS is what you get?

You know... I would drive that. Really. The crystals would have to go though.

Pink cars can be fun, here is the Barbie Car we made for BABE rally 2010

and how it ended up 5 days before the rally, thanks to some kid who hit Chrissy into a telephone pole

Damn. Those are getting hard to find, too.

You got to posting before I saw this. Our pink cabrio was epic. People were asking where I bought it because the paint job looked so good, like it wasn't done at home. As VWs have it, it had a vacuum leak or something that made it seriously buck when we drove it in stop and go traffic as it did coming home from the Jersey shore on Memorial day (stupid.) Never did find out what it was....

ps. we got paid mad money for that crash because the paint was "excellent." totally worth it for someone to crash me into a pole for $2500... ok!

In reply to Chrissy:

Yeah, VW 8v engines hate vacuum leaks like few things on Earth (especially with the CIS injection). A lot of people hate the Digifant on the later ones, but if I ever get another Mk1 (not likely, I can't weld), Digi's going in it. Just glad to hear you didn't get hurt!

Arrrghhh, that's painful to look at. What a cute car.
