The Daily Vroom

Good Morning Vroomers,

What a week. Over 1,000 cars sold across the online platforms, totaling more than $45.2 million in sales. Some sites struggled, others absolutely delivered. And with a new platform now expected to launch later this month, things are about to get interesting, plenty of noise, plenty of opinions, and plenty to watch.

Back to this week, though. We’ve got multiple seven-figure listings ending soon, and of course, it wouldn’t be a normal week on Bring a Trailer without one tank in the mix.

Let’s get into it.

No Reserve Auctions To Keep An Eye On

We don’t usually feature anything outside of cars themselves, but when we’re highlighting the best no reserve listings this week, this one has to be here. The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix is already shaping up to be one of the biggest events on the F1 calendar, and this package drops you right into the middle of it. Two three day Paddock Club passes with full access to pit lane tours, rooftop viewing, all inclusive food and drinks, and front row seats to the spectacle that is nighttime racing on the Strip.

If you’ve never been to an F1 race before, there’s nothing else like it. The sound alone hits you in the chest. The energy never stops. And when you’re watching from the Paddock Club, it’s a completely different world. Drivers, teams, and VIPs all within arm’s reach.

This one’s even better because it’s for a cause that matters. One hundred percent of proceeds, including the buyer’s fee, go to the Petersen Automotive Museum, which continues to preserve and celebrate the culture that fuels every one of us. The package’s retail value is nearly twenty five thousand dollars, but there’s no reserve, which makes it one of the wildest charity opportunities we’ve seen on Cars & Bids.

It’s not a car, but it’s absolutely a dream drive for any motorsport fan and one of the most exclusive ways to experience Formula 1 on the planet.

This Murcielago LP640 Roadster could be pulling even higher numbers if the seller were actually paying attention. When you’ve got a $200K+ supercar on the block, you should be living in that comments section. Every unanswered question chips away at confidence, and confidence drives bids.

The car itself is spectacular. Candy Red over red and cream leather, barely 3,000 km from new, and one of roughly 450 Roadsters built. The 6.5-liter V12 is pure theater, the spec is outrageous, and it was just serviced by Lamborghini Dubai. Everything about it screams six-figure event car.

But engagement matters. When bidders ask about paintwork, service history, or inspection access and the seller goes quiet, it leaves room for doubt. And when that happens on a no reserve listing, something interesting happens, opportunity opens up. The confident buyers, the ones who do their homework and stay active, start to realize they might just steal a unicorn for less than it’s worth.

So yes, this one might be underperforming a little right now, but for the right bidder, that silence could be the best thing that ever happened.

Some cars remind you what flagship really used to mean. This 1989 560SEL is one of them. Black over black, just 49,000 miles, and still carrying that quiet authority only a W126 can pull off. It is the final generation example of a chassis that defined Mercedes luxury for more than a decade, with self leveling suspension, heated seats front and rear, and a 5.5 liter M117 V8 that feels unhurried yet unstoppable.

The presentation is exactly what you want to see from a low mile S Class. Detailed photography, strong documentation, and a seller who clearly knows how to move metal on Bring a Trailer. In fact, 1600Veloce is one of the best sellers on the platform, with thousands of listings under their belt and a reputation for well prepared, well photographed cars that actually deliver.

The car has a single 1998 accident note on Carfax, but nothing that is scaring bidders away. It is already climbed past fourteen thousand dollars with steady engagement and a clean overall story.

This is old world Mercedes at its peak, built when quality was non negotiable and excess was executed with restraint. It is also no reserve, which means the market will decide what full size V8 80s prestige is worth right now.

If you are looking for one to actually keep, this might be the moment. A low mile W126 with service records, black on black presentation, and a proven seller behind it does not come around often, and when it does, it tends to go quiet once it is in the hands of someone who knows exactly what they have.

Every once in a while, a wagon shows up that reminds you why enthusiasts love the E46 platform. This 2002 BMW 325i Touring started life as a humble long roof, but it’s now a full blown performance sleeper.

The factory 2.5 liter and five speed are long gone. In their place is an M54 3.0 liter swap from a 330i ZHP, a six speed manual, and a VF Engineering supercharger. The result is exactly what it sounds like, an E46 Touring that pulls like a freight train but still looks like a family hauler.

The build list reads like someone actually knew what they were doing. Active Autowerke header, MagnaFlow exhaust, a 3.38 rear diff, Air Lift Performance V2 suspension, camber plates, and Apex ARC 8s. Inside, there’s a ZHP steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, and aluminum trim. The seller even includes the replacement regulator for the driver’s window, which sums up the vibe here. This isn’t a half baked project. It’s a well loved, properly modded wagon that’s been maintained and driven.

Sure, it’s not perfect. The Carfax shows a few dings in its past, some accidents, a mileage inconsistency, and a few cosmetic issues like cracked paint and worn seats. But at nearly 200,000 miles and counting, it’s still running strong, freshly serviced, and packing the kind of character modern cars just don’t have.

It’s raw, loud, imperfect, and exactly what makes Cars & Bids fun. Whoever wins this one won’t just get a touring, they’ll get one of the coolest daily drivable builds on the site this week.
