If they did it 4 times, BaT look in $10,000+... so that a couple of individuals could raise e46 M3 values? Assuming they even did and it would persist after auctions that were artificially being inflate? And it just, by chance, happened to coincide with e39 M5 values going up?

... or are e39s another conspiracy by the same group? If so, imagine the auction fees they paid on the $186,000 example recently!
(though admittedly the $186,000 e39 M5 auction wasn't on BaT)
I don't know man. Believe what you want. Buy 5 $60,000 e46s for all I care. :shrug:

E39 M5s have been going up in value for years, it didn't double in value in a 60 day period of time.
