"I decided today that it is not worth parting with my baby for less than $250,000. So the price starts here, regardless of any logic. It's mine and when someone wants it they have to pay my price to get it, period. Otherwise one shall build his/her own."

Yes, you read correctly; the asking price on eBay for this customized 1988 BMW 6-Series Coupe was a mouth-dropping quarter of a million dollars.

So what's so special about this Bavarian 'shark', we hear you ask?
Well, aside from the obvious (rims, bodywork, special bodykit, full leather interior etc), the 1988 635 CSi Automatic has been completely overhauled mechanically with a 315HP 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine from the 1992 M5 E45 and a manual gearbox.

Overall, the seller claims to have spent over $20,000 in parts and more than five years of his life in building this project which he says comes to a total net cost of more than $92,000.

And while we truly admire his dedication to the project (read the detailed description on the eBay page), somehow we find it extremely hard that he'll even come close to breaking even.
