It’s very difficult to place a value on these cars when they have a low mileage – I know ‘cause I’m endlessly curious as to what my fully-loaded 40k mile 318is coupe might fetch if I were to sell it, but finding other examples that compare to mine so I can see what other people are asking has proved impossible!
Based on what I’ve seen I reckon an M3 which such low miles should be asking at least £9k, but what you’d actually get depends how many punters are out there that specifically want a low-miler at the time that you’re selling it.

Can't see it making 9k. Not the way that the second hand car market is at the moment....Based on what I’ve seen I reckon an M3 which such low miles should be asking at least £9k, but what you’d actually get depends how many punters are out there that specifically want a low-miler at the time that you’re selling it.

Neither can I, but that's roughly what people are asking for very low mileage E36 M3s. What they actually 'make' is another matter of course.paoloh said:
I have offered the guy £5k. Do you guys think that is a fair bid?
There's a lot of circa 100k miles examples advertised at around that that sort of price... but what they actually sell for is another matter, so you might get lucky.MitchT said:

He has just informed me that it is a Cat D, I am now offering £4k
Walk away. There's plenty of straight ones... unless you're relying on this deal to shift a car of your own… in which case £4k if it’s a manual, significantly less if it’s an SMG.paoloh said:
The car is coming as a Part Exchange. It is very straight and the miles are great.
I was refering more to the Cat D status than the condition of the car really – That will make it a complete pain to shift in the future as there are plenty of non-Cat D cars out there to choose from which, ironically, may be in worse condition, but don’t carry the stigma of being an insurance write-off and as such won’t be treated with suspicion.MitchT said:
