Mines done 65K with FSH and a 3 inch thick history file which includes the original sales invoice.. I bought it from a 75 year old retired gent who bought it brand new in 1999 and is a totally original and unmolested spec car...

Yes your correct I have no intention to sell,and your Probebly not far off the value at £11K ish..??? But as though they were mas produced I think they are very few original low milage cars left around now and they can only go one way...? I can't believe the way the Z3 M Coupe's & Roadster have gone in the last 24 months...!!!

They are certainly getting rarer now in decent specification and low mileage.

I picked up a 99 M3 Evo Cab in Feb last year with 65K miles on, in Carbon Black with Modena Leather and a full service history (1 of 25 special batch made for the UK with a load of optional extras)

Since I have had it I have re-trimmed the interior in full, and also had the body treated in a few areas to remove the usual areas of rust that can gather.

They are great cars to drive and still quite good value for what you are getting so I can see why you would want one.

I am still torn in keeping mine as I really want an e60 M5 but with the prices on M3's likely to only go up it would not be a great time to sell so I think a lot of decent cars are being kept now as there are not a huge amount available.

For me it's a classic case of demand outstripping supply for decent cars. If kill to have a Modena interior with my green exterior.

I've had a few emails about mine, rather than drop the price I think I'd rather keep it high and wait for a decent offer.

You're right, the colour doesn't photo well. Its a lovely deep green that when the sun shines on it has like a petrol-ey/pearly tint to it. I didn't set out for a green car but it looked so good in the flesh I took a leap of faith!
Fern Green is a rare colour! I have a '98 coupe in Fern and love the colour - I find that it doesn't photograph well and looks much better in person.

Good luck with selling it.

Nope, Replied saying I wasn't actually looking to sell quite this soon but If he was willing to come and look i'd accept £5750 but not agree £5750 and then have someone come and haggle. Perhaps I scared him off as no reply!!

Too many muppets around.

How many posts do you need to advertise your car on m3cutters?

Hope you get your price.
I agreed £6k on a Fern Green cab, very late 1999, 2 owners and FULL BMW service history on 40k miles.
Then HPI'd it and found it was Cat C in 2000. Needless to say, I ran a mile and wouldn't have given him £2k for it.

Nice one Graham! Someone is going to have a sorted car! Very good price too. Put it towards a holiday fund!

PS: I've sent you a message on M3cutters!

Still toying with the idea of selling mine now.

Off travelling for a while in August. Part of me thinks laying it up in a lockup over winter might be a bad idea but then.... Aargh, I'll regret selling it. Tsk.

Just don't want to come back to a pile of dead iron oxide hehe

My car spends most of its life in storage and it doesn't seem to bother it. I get to it about once a year, fire it up, run it around the block a few times, check it over and put it away again. It's in a normal lockup garage under some bed sheets biggrin
