If there is some Z4 (maybe 2.5l :) ) there that really wants this plate it is now on retention certificate and ready for transfer.
I'm asking 1k, message me.

I think the problem with this is its a lot of coin for a 6 digit plate that's not actually personalized its more appropriate to the brand, if you sold your bmw and switched brands its not much use keeping the plate..maybe you'd have more luck with the companies that specialize in selling these things?
 
Sadly, my wife, Valerie, has a 2.5 and it would have been ideal, but her birthday pressie this year was a plate with Val on it.
Otherwise we'd have been interested.
I agree though, you need to rely on someone keeping BMWs.
Lots of companies looking to purchase your plates though, or sell them for a bit of commission. Maybe a better bet for you.
 
Got an offer from one dealer, about £600. And they would sell it for 1200-1500. Not fair.. I agree it is totally brand specific.
Zed now has a number 385 BMW :driving:
 
Why don't you just mail shot some BMW dealerships with a sensible ask and see what response you get. Nothing to lose !
They often use them on their courtesy vehicles and shuttle busses etc.

Maybe one for the next year? :roll:
 
Don't think you'll find many dealers that'll pay cash for a number plate to sell on - they mostly act as middle men so they take a commission when it sells (like an estate agent) - and judging by the thousands of numbers out there for sale it must be a very slow market.
 
Christmas price only here and only until the end of 26th of December.
£700

Maybe i just have to keep it until better times..
 
You may as well take the £600 from the dealer you mentioned in an earlier post and be done with it
 
Still there, now just want to get rid of it.
Dealer that offered £600 needs me to sign something in UK. As i am not there anymore i cant do that.
So same price here as they offered - £600 and it's yours. On retention cert all fees paid. Can put on car right away.
 
40% of pr117's posts since he joined in July 2020 have been him hawking this plate which he could have sold already but wanted more coin, and because the dealer now "needs me to sign something in UK" and that's a problem wants a forum member to make the sale happen for him. I mean, what could go wrong? It's a £350 plate at most.

On the positive side, pr117 does actually have a Z4 and is posting some interesting mods on his car which is located somewhere outside of the UK.

I will take this as an "up", thanks. As for the % given I prefer spending my time in garage rather than collecting posts.
If a dealer (Elite Registrations Ltd) offers me £600 for the plate i'm pretty sure this is the price for it. They will put it for sale with quite a profit, selling it for 1k+. I admit, not being able to sign the paper they send only to UK address is my problem. Then again I have about 10 years (time it can be held on certificate) to figure this out.
But you can tell me, what do you think should go wrong?
 
It's too expensive mate, it's not rocket science. Like people have said, it's a £350 plate, hell my mum bought a 5 digit plate for £400. Bite the dealer's hand off for £600!
 
The thing with personalised registrations is, when people want one they want something very specific and there are almost endless variations out there. It might be worth £1000 to the right person but you might be waiting a decade for that person to come along.

There are hundreds if not thousands of registrations with "BMW" in them available for less than £600, so if that's all someone wants they aren't going to buy this one. Essentially, you're looking for someone who:

1. Has a BMW.
2. Wants the number plate to remind people that the car is a BMW.
3. Doesn't already have a "BMW" registration.
4. Is happy to spend hundreds on a registration.
5. Feels that "V25" holds some kind of meaning for them, more so than any of the other letters & numbers available with "BMW" registrations.

That's got to be a very small pool of potential customers...
