I can’t be the only a one thinking that’s already a bit OTT at £8k…?

That is delicious... would've preferred a lighter interior, though.

Phwoar, that's a bit lovely. Chrome mirror caps need binning immediately.

My first reaction was to agree, but these are well into "classic" territory now and most of them left are knackered.

I also need to get away from thinking it's 2010; they were £5k for an ok one even then and that's £7.5k now so even without taking into account the attrition they've suffered in the intervening decade and a half that car is probably reasonable value at anything south of 15k.

I really fancy a BMW E34, can anyone give me an overview and advice?

They also seem extremely thin on the ground, so if anyone spots a nice one for sale.

It's an auctioneer's dream - two bidders, both wanting it

Jeez, that's at least 20k over. Nice old thing though, Green over tan with clear glass.

Being 2006 but a 55 plate, does this attract the lower rfl band pricing?

I'd say so.

Early March ‘06 is the cut off, so yes.
I had an early 2006 750i which took advantage of this.

It is low(er) tax but if you've been on the pipe to pay anywhere near the asking price, that's the least of one's concerns

All the talk by every car celebrity (well Metcalfe, Clarkson and the Collecting Addicts gang) praising them as peak RR is going to have the values climbing for perfect spec ones like this. I don't get Octane magazine anymore after it became too unbearable but if they ever feature one of these then all bets are off.

A bit less for a lot more:

Supercharged



I quite like that.
