Basically i am going to see if i can sell my car but after much research through the classifieds, i cant see any others out there with the exact same spec & mileage.
Its a 1999 e46 328ci coupe with 61k on the clock with FBMWSH. 1 years tax & 7 months mot.
The car is immaculate & with 12k worth of extras from new which include built in tv/satnav,
electric folding mirrors, electric sunroof, full leather with heated electric front seats,
full HarmonKardon sound system, xenon headlights, electric rear folding blind.
Next service is due in 11000 miles & just had new front windscreen fitted & rear suspension bushes replaced. Any advice on how much people think it's worth would be much appraciated. Many thanks.

Between £3500 and £4000 at a guess.

Based on a quick look through pistonheads classifieds, I would say perhaps £5k if in really excellent condition. The options are good, but if its the original sat nav with small screen, I suspect it won't have much value to potential buyers. Infact generally speaking, options may make a car easier to sell, but normally don't add much to the value of car. My mum has an immaculate 323Ci yr 2000 with 42,000 miles which I reckon is worth somewhere between £4-5k. Interested to know how you've valued the options, as I have a 330Ci Sport 2002 bought from new, which has all of those options at a cost of around £6k.

Good luck with the sale.

Yeah about £4k so maybe stick it up for £4250 so that you've got some negotiating room.

The spec is good but doesn't add a huge amount to the value i'm afraid.

Is the history fully stamped bmw with MOT's to support the mileage ?

Cheers for all the responses guys, much appreciated
I have the original receipt for 12k for all of the extras & may have missed some off which obviously will list once advertised.
