I'm considering selling my toy as I don't get very much use from it now I have a company car, however it's a strange mix so any opinions on value would be useful.

It's a 1997 M3 Evolution Saloon with 100k miles, however the engine was rebuilt less than 5000 miles ago. It's got nearly full main dealer history. Condition is OK for mileage but not mint.

It's got decent coil over suspension and air filter/exhaust etc as well a direct port progressive nitrous set up.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

About £5k, I'd imagine. Having nitrous fitted will narrow your potential market.

Depends on the settings but up to about 450bhp. I had the car dynoed at 412bhp while running 100 jets with the nitrous but you could probably get away with a bit more if you wanted.

Its only worth 4k, but if you can find the right buyer you should be able to get 5K for it with the Nitrous system

yes

What does "new engine 5000 miles ago", and "nitrous fitted" say to potential buyers?

Lose the nitrous off of it, and your car will appeal to a wider audience.
