BMW V10 values going up?

[Schermerhorn]

Last month I did a little price check on www.webuyanycar.com and they offered me £13,000 for my BMW M6. Now, I know that is ridiculous so ignored it. So this morning I did the same check again, ticked all the right boxes and they offered me £18990.

It's a 68000 mile car with 2 year AUC warranty and a full service history but it's got me thinking, if values are starting to go up for these beasts - as long as they are well maintained - perhaps it's worth hanging on to ?

They offered you close to £19k on a car with that mileage? Really? That seems very very good if you ask me.

I've been considering parting with my sub 60k miler and would only be asking for around that much.

Another excuse to keep it

ETA: Just put mine through the WBAC valuator and they offered £14,225 More realistic!

Look at the C5 RS6 for proof of this.

Oops

Confession time

I accidently put 6800 miles instead of 68000.

Ha! Spleen!

With that kind on mileage Hexagon will want it so that they can attempt to corner another market.

I see Sytner have one up at £25,850 with 57000 miles on it which I think is a bit punchy, whether they'll get near that who knows. I'm putting my 2005 M6 on the market shortly so gauging the market values. Mine is just shy of 78000 miles but I'm hoping the fact that having had a new gearbox, clutch, flywheel plus some other items done under warranty since December will make it a more appealing car.

I've done over 8000 miles in 7 months in it as my daily drive but can't justify the fuel bills anymore (don't flame me for buying a car that is known to be expensive to run, I've done more miles in 7 months than most people tend to do in 2 years in an M6 and it's wanted for nothing on the servicing front!)

Think you may be on to something. Pre Xmas there were several M5s on BMW official site. None since Xmas. May just be a coincidence .

WBAC offered me £12k for E46 M3 CS 35800 miles :-)

Probably because getting older and rarer
There are a few E46 M3s even now on there

I've got one of them

The values of these are only going one way and it sure as hell isn't up.

These are expensive cars to run increasingly falling into the hands of those who can't afford to maintain them correctly.

I'm not to aux Fais with warrantys etc on these, but I'm guessing it's getting harder to get a warranty on one? Which I imagine could affect the values.
Whilst looking for my e39 a found several dirt cheap e60's I could afford, but my head said no.

Couple that with a history of being serviced my technicians incapable of servicing them incorrectly.
