The final price of 37,750 is very impressive. But you have to admit that the book and its "case" are worth it!
It's a hell of piece, and if you have a man cave with several of the cars in its pages, then the price is likely somewhere between inconsequential and irrelevant!![]()

For anyone seeking a book, this one popped up on EBAY today.

Nice eagle eye find. Hopefully someone here who needs it gets it.
2000 Red over black
heavily modified for performance. Although, not to the level of GM's car
Thanks, @boomster. I bid on it. If I get it, will have to do until a black over crema shows up at some point.
Good luck, we have the images here that I can get printed for you, but you will have to find or exchange the crema leather.

$900 seems to be a good price. Hopefully someone here got it.

That's an awesome price, they've been going for up to $2500!!

hi all quick question - i have visited 2 cars , same year , same color - Black / crema - black - both had their books BUT looking at them i have found 2 different pictures one is showing the car , the second one is showing the car with all plastic protection around
see att the 2 pictures
Is it normal ? or does it mean that one of them is "fake"
thx
benoit
Hi Benoit,
The picture with the car in transport cover is used for rare color combinations (e.g red/crema) and individual colors

but this car is Black / crema , nothing "so" special ..and on top , 2 same exact car colors , 2 different pictures..??
You are right! The differences you mention can happen when the book is not issued to the car. A lot of first owners sold the car without the book and the new owner bought another book from another car and so on....

so probably the second owner has a not an "Original" book ..and made it / home made ..
thx Ton
Most likely not "home made" as the book would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to duplicate from scratch. Just not the same book that came with the car originally. For example I have a book that I was able to get from BMWNA (Bill Stuart - RIP) quite some time after I had purchased my car in 2005 once I learned from this board there was a chance they might still have them which they did at the time. Apparently some never were delivered to the customers for some reason. So I have the book, but with a different VIN plate than my VIN.

The VIN sticker is an official BMW part (71 212 122 583). I have heard that BMWNA is not that cooperative (anymore) but in Europe you can still order the sticker via an official BMW garage. Nine years back I bought the book and changed the sticker.So I have the book, but with a different VIN plate than my VIN.
