E89 Market watch

[Ole gits rule]

I have a feeling prices are going to stay high(ish) for a while due to the lack of new metal coming through the system plus nobody wanting to use public transport so driving prices up as well

There are many forces at work here from what I've found, and I have been avidly keeping a check on prices of different cars.
Nearly new cars, of any description are holding value well due to the lack of new cars.
A 10 year old Z4 doesn't come into that category TBH. There are many other forces here (not least the motor-trade's instinctive ability to not miss a trick and maximise their profits). Low interest rates are helping; savings are earning nothing, finance is relatively cheap (although nowhere near cheap enough). I genuinely think the attitude of "f*ck it, we've had a terrible year, we can't go on our three foreign holidays this year so let's buy a fun car" is a major factor in the mix.

Defo all playing into the mix but zeds are holding well at the moment as can be seen from prices, for some reason the 6 pots seem to be doing quite well despite the 23i being seen as a poverty car (power wise).

The early 4 pots are now in quite a few places cheaper than a 23i unless it is well specced or annual colour

Sean don't put that on the ad when you come to sell your one from one beggar to another :

Oh no it will be the sweet spot in the range when its time to sell, last of a dying breed that's going to be sought after going forward and anyway where can you use all that power unless you live in Scotla oh boy

Sean, pbondar had a chart which highlighted all the E89 models and the type of owner they attracted.... from memory 23i owners were careful sensible people or something like that

Or is that too tight to pay for a 30i

I am pretty sensible and that my cars with care - they very rarely get ragged to death and are valeted regularly with servicing every year, just wish I was carefree and screw the house renovations and just buy that 35iS in VO

Andy you change your cars as often as your socks so you probably have ticked every type of owner on the list

You decided that a few days before you got this one, it only got changed cos you couldn't bloody fit in it - now we must note that it is not you this time but SWMBO but thinking about your next car before you even collected this one is something even I have never done
