M market watch

[thecremeegg]

I've just bought a ZMR for £10k, admittedly on high mileage (120k) but it's had rod bearings replaced (old ones were fine) and new B12 suspension fitted. Needs a few things doing of course but I can't believe how cheap these things are getting.

[Mr Tidy]

Congratulations.

I think values for anything with a 6 figure mileage reflect the majority of UK car buyers fear of high milers. In most other countries people don't seem to have that obsession!

[thecremeegg]

Yea you're probably right. I've always had high milers and they've needed the usual consumables but otherwise they've been great! I hope this isn't the kiss of death for the M I've just bought

[Mr Tidy]

Well I may be facing that issue one day now my M has done 90K!

But my 330i has done 124K and still pulls like a train so I'm not too bothered.

I'm not far from North Hants so hopefully I'll see you about sometime, maybe when I visit RBM in Hook! What colour is your MR?

[thecremeegg]

It's Interlagos blue, plate ends in ZMR. I have my 3.0i for sale at the moment, 150k miles and the engine runs sweet as anything, they're such good engines these 6s

[Mr Tidy]

That's a great colour. Good luck selling the 3 litre.

[thecremeegg]

Thanks!

You are lucky in UK with those prices. In Poland there are currently two offers for M version, 25 K & 33 K pounds. Crazy. Especially one is from US. However to be noted that "standard" 3.0i & 3.0Si goes for around 8-12 K.

£710 annual RFL starting next month won't do values any favours.

My old M is now up for sale if anyone's interested. It was a brilliant example! Current owner is on the forum but hasn't listed it here. Has been owned by forum members for years and would be great to see someone here grab it.

I fear for the seller that they are well beyond the value curve

I remember being parked next to your car at the Ace Cafe and it was a lovely example.

But £23K seems a bit ambitious to me.

Im afraid £23000 in the current climate is a tall order.
Probable if it had around 20,000 miles you might have had more luck
Good luck with your sale anyway.

Mileage varies a lot in the different ads
