What are e46 330s actually sellig for lately?

[solidlad84]

Made a post here the other day which was removed for some unknown reason so i'll just make it a lot shorter so i've wasted less time for when it happens again! how peculiar.

Anyway heres my shortened down predicament: How much is a mint condition 2002 330ci worth? under 80k miles, everything replaced (cooling system, bushes, new pads and matching premium tyres), everything in immaculate condition all round.

Thanks in advance for any rough price range. I was probably assuming i'd advertise it for 4000 and of course be knocked down but hopefully the condition should make it worth a few hundred more than most.

I'd be wanting more than £4000 for a 2002, genuinely mint one that had all the cooling system sorted.

I was offered near that figure by a trader for a very good condition 330i sport saloon (62k). The only thing I've not done that you mention is the cooling system.

If I were you, I'd be looking up the prices on Autotrader, Exchange and Mart, Pistonheads, ebay etc., etc., rather than relying on countless: "I'd be looking for £**** if it were Me" posts.

Those sites will give you a much better understanding of the current market value.

(And don't be surprised to find out that they are going for peanuts these days. The prices recently took a nose dive steeper than a Stuka dive bomber homing in on a target, as have all the big engined BMW's).

[Patrick Bateman]

Yeah, I'd expect less than what a valuation might say.

I paid 4k in November for a 330i sport, 03 plate, 70k, fbmwsh. It's a manual and a saloon but I'd say that's a realistic price, but there does seem to be quite bit of variation on the market at the moment.

That's awfully cheap.

I got mine cheap at £5k.

I've just bought one today A 330i Sport on a 52 plate. Paid £4200 for it. Mileage is a touch high at 117k, but FSH, new radiator, suspension just been re-bushed, wheels refurbed and new tyres all round. It's absolutely immaculate inside and out and I'm chuffed to bits. Oh, and its got the SMG box, which is weird to get used to but good fun.

Could be Never come across one before. Stupid paddles on the steering wheel, but the sequential stick is very nice to use.

I paid £4k for a 2003 330i Sport last month, FSH (lots BMW), 70,000 miles, really good spec, manual box, rarer colour. Pleased as punch

Similar age 330Ci with more miles and less spec were selling for about £5k at the time.

[LawAys]

Prices do seem to be all over the place, some people asking £4k for what look like clean cars, whilst others are asking £5k for much higher mileage worse condition cars...

What colour/spec is it, out of interest?

[Zebrs]

I sold my 2003 facelift manual 330ci Msport in September, rare desirable colour, nav, HK, xenons etc for 6.5k. I had several serious enquiries after a couple of days and within a week it had sold to a guy who flew in to pick it up unseen. Maybe I was after a quick sale, but reckon he could sell it for that all day long still. Damn I miss that car

ETA FSH,67k miles

[Tonberry]

Lets stop comparing the 5 speed '02 cars with the '03 6 speed cars.

Large gap in value/price.

OP

Yours sounds like a good un at 4k. Stick it up for £4500 and take offers. It'll sell well due to the mileage. Only an enthusiast will care about the recent bills though.

Most '02 sport coupe I've seen are leggy as hell with no mention of a decent service history. Just over £3k seems like the going rate for something like that.
