E89 Market watch

[True-Blue]

I’m not sure the market is where it was, but asking prices don’t seem to reflect that… as a result, plenty of cars sitting around and being advertised for months on end again, even though it’s sports car season.

My E89 has just been driven away by a delighted new owner, so on with the hunt for an auto the mrs can drive too

35is back on the cards?

The 35is at Sytner lasted 3 days before being sold.

White, good spec, 30k miles 2016 car with the AUC warranty - £27k

Seen a really nice yellow 35is on auto trader with a aftermarket diff and bbk. Anyone know the car?

[matsmith749]

Another BMW approved car z4 35is, 2016 with good options & 8k miles (wow). Apparently went live on AT at 10am, & had a deposit on it the same day before lunchtime. At £24.5k (bet they think that was too cheap!).

Good cars still selling for strong money, not seeing the impact everyone was worrying about with the cost of living crisis ckearly not hitting everyone equally.

If you are struggling to love the G29 then an immaculate low mileage E89 makes sense
BMW and most others are not going to be building another snorting, bellowing roadster like that again
Still think there will be a bloodbath for the older, lower powered models

This seems to keep rotating through the sales channels
I looked at this twice before but it was in NI
Like the colour
Liked the brakes and Quaife diff
Didn’t like no iDrive and basic audio
Ironically the car I bought had the basic radio but got the audio upgraded

Certain cars will always be in demand, regardless of the economic outlook… but look at all the stuff lower down the food chain that’s taking much longer to turn over.

Having had an earlier 35iS don’t think I could pay 27k for a bit newer one, as they didn’t really change much. To close to G29 money

I suppose it's a case of "if you don't ask you don't get" - or maybe eternal optimism!

[matsmith749]

Yeh - seems a bit punchy, lot's of similar on offer for £5k less (or more as private sales).

It's likely to be one of those that get's repriced over the coming weeks. Or maybe the seller isn;t too interested in actually making a sale.

It's an outlier.

But, pricing wise it probably does sit at the top of the scale for a 18i - it has the good options, auto box, low miles, FBMWSH, nice clean unmolested example. So from a desireability perspective it ticks all the boxes.

Thats an understatement, someone trying their luck, needs to drop by £6k minimum or its a waste of an advert no matter how well specced that car is
