When I had mine up at £12k I had no interest whatsoever. Now at £11k the phone hasn't stopped. So I deduce from that £11k is acceptable money for a good 18i.
The one above has good spec, yes, and is very low mileage but I see that at £12k max. Making it nearly eight grand overpriced. There is another one which has been on AT for a good while (private sale). Started at £13,750, now at £12,250 and still on there!

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I'm not so sure it's £6k overpriced.
Narrow your search to under 40k miles cars - only a few out there, and the cheapest are older / less well optioned.
I would value it at £17k dealer (with warranty) or about £15.5 private sale.
It's a few years younger than yours Pondy, lower miles, FMDBMW SH, not been messed with, has the auto box, has the nav.

It does seem a little overpriced but its worth a bit more than a grand more than yours.Pondrew wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 12:28 pm When I had mine up at £12k I had no interest whatsoever. Now at £11k the phone hasn't stopped. So I deduce from that £11k is acceptable money for a good 18i.

The calls you are getting, is that from eBay or have you got it up on AT now as well?Pondrew wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 12:28 pm When I had mine up at £12k I had no interest whatsoever. Now at £11k the phone hasn't stopped. So I deduce from that £11k is acceptable money for a good 18i.

I have a few people who were waiting on him, as he contacted first. We shall see.

Yes fair enough. Forgot about it being a very late one. Not sure whether an Auto commands a premium in the N20?

What I did notice in the pics though was there was no auto start/stop button. Was this something that was done away with on later models or did autos not have it.

Auto was quite a bit more expensive so yes it commands a premium.

AFAIK the stop start on the ZF8HP required a different variant of box which I believe was never fitted to the E89…Nictrix wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 9:57 pmWhat I did notice in the pics though was there was no auto start/stop button.

Autos always commands a small premium on most premium / luxury cars, unless it’s something like a 911 GT3 or the like.

Idrive is the nav/multimedia system.
It also commands a premium - from memory it was something silly like £2k extra when originally speccing up the car.
Obviously not worth £2k more now, but likely 'something'

Well things must have changed over the last 30 years!
I was always under the impression that 'optional extras' are worth nothing on a used car; only potentially make it easier to sell against an equivalent without them. The buyer's mindset of getting something for nothing.
I still don't understand the demand for the i-drive on the E89. They are 2009 technology and don't think they were ever upgraded during the life cycle of the car. I could be wrong (it happens occasionally!) IMHO they make the cars seem really old now. One of main things I didn't like about my 2008 E92 was the antiquated i-drive.

Isn't the old i-Drive super easy and relatively cheap to add aftermarket CarPlay/Android Auto too though?
