But putting all that aside, this is a different order of magnitude of what they are offering and you ALWAYS ask as high as possible to start on these types of cars. How many e39s and e46s are there with this mileage and condition in the U.S.? Maybe 1-2 a year come on the market.
They are simply pricing accordingly. To put this into context, Porsche 993 twin turbos well used are now going for these prices....and "brand new" ones in similar shape are going for >$200k and being snapped up.
This is not the enthusiast market anymore - this is the rich-people-who-like-automotive-art-market. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

WELL SAID. Cars like this are so rare. If someone with a bunch of cash wants to swing his dick around town and say they bought this car, let em'.
