Good luck with the search, I have been looking too but also drawn to an E89 3.5. Just can't make my mind up.

Looking at some of the prices against the mileage, mine wasn't a bad deal at £14,995. Rich, I would just take your time and something will come along over the winter.

Don't think it was far away from where it needed to be, a shame I had to delay things a couple of months but don't think you'd have sold it anyway! :lol:

He nearly has found one that ticked all the boxes,bar one important thing, unfortunately....as it's a great car.
Sure something will come up soon,Rich.

I just never understand that prices are slated as too low by some on here,when cars come up at 11-12,500, which I would agree with,(that 11/12k is cheap for a decent M Roadster,2006), and others said it's bang on the money..,when mine has an agreed valuation (independent from insurance company),of £17000, as a "replacement value".
And some sub 50/60k Roadsters are up at more,and on some sites,both M Coupes and Roadsters have a trade in or private sale value of around 11-13k......try buying a decent spec,looked after M Roadster or M Coupe for anywhere near that, especially outwith winter,lol.
I know they are available,but going by many 2006/2007 M Roadsters have sold for as round 14/15k and above,and Coupes for between 18&23k,it is baffling how some people,even on here,value them at way less.

Hi Rich. I don't think you saw her at her best after spending best part of a week outside. I spent a full day on the Saturday and got her polished up nice for sale and unfortunately nobody saw her in "full sale" mode. She is now filthy again and in the garage due to the weather, I can't get her clean.

At £14,995 I felt that I was giving her away and you are probably right that during the 6 weeks on sale, I realised she was worth more to me than I thought. I certainly wouldn't have gone any less.

Time for me to upgrade from the 2.5 and scratch the itch!

If anyone is looking to sell please drop me a message, I know advertising on here can be troublesome sometimes! :roll: :lol: All messages will be kept confidential!

Preferred mileage under 60k - flexible on colours and spec.

I'm aware of everything that's available on the selling sites and already viewed some, a couple are of interest but just testing the water to see what else might be available first!

And yes I will sadly be selling the 2.5 if/when I find the right car! :oops:
Potentially. I’m looking at R172 SLK55s and could be tempted to switch to the dark side. Will hopefully drive several over the next few weeks.

Mine is just coming up to 60k.

Looks like I will have to sell mine as I have had an operation on my back and getting in and out isnt easy anymore :( . Its a 2006 saphire black with 64000 miles just spent £2500 on new discs front and rear,oil service and brake fluid change, wheel refurb and 4 new michelin ps4 tyres. I was going to wait until the spring to sell but if theres enough interest I may put an ad up and see.

And now thinking of a Silver grey M Coupe,like myself.
Good luck with that,Rich, haha.

Not enough out there,hence the prices for either decent M Roadsters or Coupes!

Hope you get one soon :thumbsup:

As far as the Alpina goes, there weren't any in Silver Grey and only 28 in Titanium (6 with red leather, 22 with black leather) - 12 definitely Lux, 7 definitely non-Lux, no data for the other 9
