I BOUGHT A BMW M1 RACE CAR and failed Story

The BMW M1 was always a dream car that seemed unattainable. The race car version be that group 5 or procar seemed an even less likely proposition. I came extremely close to building a dream...

Not the typical format but should I occasionally share some stories inbetween content?

[@randomdude1229]

Yes!

[@scottbradford197]

For sure if you have more stories

[@ChihabJebbari]

Adam, you're a kind guy..... Listed by mistake, my a$$! They found someone who was able to offer more than the auction, it's that simple. But don't worry, a pure car enthusiast still a car enthusiast, building an M1, an E30 or a Renault 4L. And you're a true one.

[@mattgoesfast3738]

Totally agree! Real ones show and it’s often easy to tell when people buy cars for attention or as a symbol of wealth etc but true enthusiasts buy what they love

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Thanks I appreciate that I have always loved cars and just want to enjoy them and do what I like and not what people perceive as cool or in trend

[@BadE30]

This story always blows mind dude. Good to hear it again.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yeah it’s a bit of an odd one and it would’ve been mad if it worked out! Was worth a shot

[@scottbradford197]

Nice to see the soeedhunters article that’s pretty sick!

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Thanks yeah it’s pretty cool hopefully when the car is built we could do something with it because I’m putting my all into it

[@scottbradford197]

@@thedownshiftchannel yeah definitely it’s always been easy to see watching this channel you were the genuine car guy and not just into the hype. Well deserved

[@thedownshiftchannel]

@@scottbradford197 thanks

[@mattgoesfast3738]

Wow what a story! This thing woulda been beyond insane possibly the most insane bmw build in the world hahah!

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yeah it’s a real shame but I still have my other dream build ongoing

[@Mexicanfab]

Madness bro.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Shame it never worked out innit

[@chrisg4rr377]

It would have been a sick whip, but something else bad might have happened if you did get it. Everything happens for a reason, unless its random, or an accident or hasn't actually been proven that it's happened like living dinosaurs. I've only ever seen dead ones

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Hahaha excellent analogy. You’re right everything happens for a reason

[@Khaos600]

I think the real issue here is that crisp ironed tee shirt you have there.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

I’ve never ironed a t shirt in my life it’s just new hahaha

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Great story bro 😎 but maybe 🤔 you got lucky 🍀 on that one as good as it was.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yeah it woulda been a huge task and very expensive and stressful Hahha

[@AdBmxStreet]

Absolutely wild

[@thedownshiftchannel]

It woulda been great but I guess it wasn’t meant to be

[@BiglumpADV]

Casting aspersions here but I think they didn't get what they wanted for the shell and decided to invent a way to withdraw from the sale. Wouldn't be the first time, people do that with cheap items so why not something of this level. A shame really, could have been a build and a half

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yeah I think that’s the case to be honest. Its a shame as the opportunity won’t come around again but it’s one of those things in life! I still have the 2002 build to do

[@TheRyanl164]

Very shady on part of the seller. As others have said though potentially dodged a bullet. Very cool car and you still have this story to go along with it too. Just thought, if they werent supposed to list it, how in-depth was the listing?

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Oh I’m certain it was supposed to be listed the add explained what it was and some of the race history etc and drivers.

[@marilynosborne1741]

Definitely think you dodged a bullet and although you had a great plan in place things can usually cost you thrice what you plan. Shifty as tho on the part of the seller 🤬

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Yeah it woulda meant staying out there a bit longer I think… definitely wouldn’t have been cheap!
