E46 M3 - Whats it worth???

[Tame Technician]

53 plate M3 carbon black coupe.
Black leather seats
SMG box
75,000 miles
Full BMW service history
The smaller (alleged better ridee) 18inch alloys

No mechnical defects at all, I've had it up on the ramp, checked for play in the front arms and rear trailing arms and looked for cracks in the floor at the rear subframe mounts and all is well.

A few stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet, drivers seat bolster is not wornout but looks like its done 75,000miles.

Normal stereo not harmon kardon and no sat nav.

What would you expect to pay private sale.


I was thinking £8495ovno.

Realistic????

People telling me with no sat-nav etc and on the smaller wheels will be much harder to sell.

Any input gratfully received.

Smg seems to make them a little less valuable from searches ive done too.

Here it is, sorry for quality pic taken with phone.

Auto trader / ebay and PH shows no other 53 plates with similar milage any where near this cheap. But most are trade sellers who can offer finance aand take credit card payment etc. And most are slightly high spec cars.

Prefer those wheels to the later ones, definitely.

The only other thing id say to consider is that e46 m3s seem to be taking a proper drop atm. Ive been watching them like a hawk for the last year and the entry level price for one has gone down by over two grand. No reason not to buy one, but worth remembering if youre thinnking of parting with your cash.
