What is a Coupé Worth?

[Jl-c]

forgot to say, leather obviously and private seller, got £600 off it too.

I've sat nav and plan to just fit the GROM Bluetooth adapter which integrates with the factory head unit.

Can you add a link to that bit of kit and tell me how it works / is fitted - thanks!

I have recently bought, and for a 2007 3.0si manual with all MSport goodies (suspension, Xenons, memory heated seats, bluetooth etc) 85K miles.Nearly new boots and full BMW history, £7900. Didn't think that was too bad.

Sounds a bargain to me, I paid 8k for similar 57 plate but 92k on clock in the summer.

Sounds like a good deal.

Aren't electric memory seats standard?

The combination of xenon lights and a warm bum isn't so easy to find. Bluetooth isn't common either.

I’ve got to get me one of them! Shame its USA shipping!!

[Djcla]

Thanks for the advice guys.

The entire used car market is dead just now. Next to nothing is moving.

We are coming up to the end of the quarter so I'm hoping that some business needs to balance the books a little. Someone surely needs to move a car?

A few cars have steadily decreased in asking price on Autotrader and still haven't sold. There is plenty willing to last it out. Can't be cheap with Autotrader's fees.

How much impact do you think all the emissions limits coming in will put people off? The Z4 is Euro 4 which is the limits being imposed by London and soon to be other cities.

I checked and looks like we are safe in 2021 for the new standards not that it effects me..

This one appeared on Autotrader today. The advert has gone now, but it's still in their own site.

It's up for £9998. They could have cleaned it first.

The last for sale advert for this car lists xenon headlamps.

Not sure if it's the pictures, but the bonnet and bumper panel gap looks off. I'm not sure if the NSR quarter panel isn't a shade or two out and a scuff on the side skirt.

The lights look a bit cloudy?

Looks good otherwise. I'm not too sure about putting Z4M wheels on the Z4. Is the offset and fitment not a bit out?





Private sale for £10,500.

It lacks xenons and heated seats. Still not a fan of light interiors. He's also gone for Z4M wheels.

Looks tidy and that's a nice colour.

Quite a few people have done it with no issues - they just sit a bit further out in the arches, especially on the rear. But as to whether you want proper M wheels on a 3.0Si, that's another debate entirely!

The 224s are only a style , they are no lighter or better made than other M sport alloys , the fact that they are supplied stock fitment on a M car has little significance other than 8j 9j widths as opposed to 8.5j 9j plus offsets slightly different

Fair point - after all 108s and MV2s have M stickers on them too!

Don't think 108s do Mr T but plenty of other sets off 1 series , 3 series & 5 series are M sport

There is a reasonable flow of cars popping up. The couple that have popped up today have been low mileage and pricey examples.

There's a car with 22,000 miles on Autotrader. They want £13,995.

[Mr Tidy]

I just had a look at that one - it looks good.

As to whether it is worth that, who knows? I suppose if I was desperate to find a nearly new E86 and had the budget I might think it was!

After all, you'll struggle to find another 1 owner E86 with BMW history and 22K miles now they're nearly all at least 10 years old!
