Struggling to price my E90.
Discussion
I have an 07 330i Auto M Sport with 60k. It's the N52 engine one.
I'm not sure what to price it at as I can't find similar ones like it, it's got pretty much every single extra poissible. Tv, nav, heated electric leather seats, active steering, comfort access, bluetooth, BMW assist, adaptive xenons, logic 7, extended warranty etc etc, you get the idea.
But I just have no idea what to price it at, atm I have it at £12,995 which I'm not sure is reasonable.

Seems a bit steep but I would guess youre in the right ball park. Maybe the wrong end! Depends if you want a quick sale.
The gizmos wont amount for much additional cash either.
I guess you know that alcoholics such as a 330i auto are not really wanted right now. I have a 325 - i know your pain. Accordingly you are in a market sliding downhill at some pace.
My suggestion is to sell cheap..ish and do it quickly.

Not according tp BMW valuations today I'm not sure what to price it at as I can't find similar ones like it, it's got pretty much every single extra poissible.

I'd say your looking at £8.5k being realistic. But good luck though.
www.motoring.co.uk and www.freecarvaluations.co.uk
Both will give you trade-in value, add £800-1200 for a private sale with the options fitted.
Some traders will allow a bit extra for the right options, others will say they add no value but should make it easier to sell.
A lot of these cars aren't even making book value, so getting book with those options fitted might be the best you'd achieve.
If you use What Car? online as a bit of a yardstick, £800 over trade-in value is about par for the course, to sell privately.

I would agree with £11k ish - don't keep advertising at £13k if you want to move it quick ish as very few buyers expect to negotiate £2k off. I'd put it up at say £11495 and anything you get over £11k is a bonus. Write a decent ad as well, list the spec, list out all the service history (dates, work done, what garage/dealer), list all the MOTs etc, loads of photos. Be honest and list anything significant wrong as well. EG if they tyres are nearly done say so, any buyer will spot straight away and use to haggle. By being honest you are disarming most haggle points - then price fairly and you'll get close.

Sorry but £8.5k looks like the trade in.
Privately in good condition looks around £12k.
But you will have to sit on it and wait for someone looking for your car to come along.
Do not accept £8.5k, that is ridiculously low.

I just ran my details in the two sites listed ad the valuations are £6.7k up to £8.3k private sale.
BMW main dealer seems to be pretty accruate.
There is no way on earth that a car six months newer with the less desirable big petrol would be worth £3k more than the private sale....
Just tried my details again and reduced my milage to 45k the valuations are £8.6k to £9.7k.
It's very surprising that an extra 45k loses £2k or 25% in value...
I mean my car specced was £38k in 2006 which would mean had I bought it new and done my miles on it the depn per mile would be £0.34 per mile!!!!!yet had I covered a mere 45k those miles would have cost me £0.64!!!!!madness
Depreciation really is the biggest killer for running a car forget about mpg it's depn that's the bad boy

I havent read the entire section through but they start for sale here in the PH classifieds at £11k and go upwards.... generally speaking.It's very surprising that an extra 45k loses £2k or 25% in value...

Probably worth around 11-12k; this would appeal to someone who is looking for exactly what you own rather than a generic e90 - I own a similarly high spec'd 330i which took me quite some time to find and which I intend to keep. The N52 was probably the peak of BMW straight 6 engine design and durability and really is a fantastic unit. They're not as heavy on fuel as Is widely thought.

£8.5k for a loaded 07 330i, Welshbeef strikes again.
Well if my fully loaded car which is 6months max older is only worth £7.5k ish according to those websites mentioned and BMW directly then why on earth would you choose to spend nearly £4k more or 50% more for a car with 40k fewer miles being the sole difference. Plus the fact that diesels big I6 books higher than a big I6 petrol. Or are those sites giving him the correct Market value for his yet degrading mine by nearly £4k for upto 6 months and 40k more miles... Um stinks
Why would you expect BMW directly to give you an accurate value? They told me my 335i was worth £15k, I sold it for 33% more than that a month later!
He's trying to sell it privately so trade values are irrelevent. Perhaps you'd like to link us to all these full spec 07 plate 330 M Sport's with 60k or less being advertised privately?

I agree but from what has been said in this thread they are just hitting book. He's trying to sell it privately so trade values are irrelevent. Perhaps you'd like to link us to all these full spec 07 plate 330 M Sport's with 60k or less being advertised privately?
The value I had from BMW was inline with those two quoted sites on this thread. The original poster has tried it too and obtained an £11k value.
This is where it makes no sense 6months newer and c40k fewer miles means it books for c£4k less in a diesel which is in more demand.... That makes no sense at all.
I did expect to quote me low but am surprised that it's confirmed wth those two websites. Unless of course they are inaccurate??
