E89 Market watch

I think that’s an 18i looking at the dash, it doesn’t have the dual zone controls which the 20i & 28i both have.
The ad also states it’s got 115bhp & was registered in 1970, the price seems to low and I’d be on full alert

Does look too good to be true but seller has 100% feedback on almost 400 transactions so could be worth pursuing if the car tempts

For that price the seller wouldnt have to bother selling on eBay, he could take to any dealer and get £10,750 for it.

That’s not a 35is, it’s a 35i

FWIW The Autotrader valuation of my car dropped ~£1200 this month, much more than usual. Could be the new model announcement, could be us ticking in to another reg as of Aug? Previous drops til now have averaged ~£200 which is what I had originally forecast when buying the car.

64 reg 35iS, 35000 miles
Private Sale valuation: July £21720.00, Aug £20550.00.

Not sure it's reflected in reality tbh, but interesting nevertheless.

Yeah, mines down too, now £20,650 from £22,350 just 6-8 weeks ago. Onset of autumn/winter, poor climate for selling, new reg and new model announcement I guess. Your's is quite low for a 64 plate?

Whats out there in the 89 market spring 2019 ?
Buyers market right now for 2011 / 2012 Msport 2.0s circa 60k around £10k & less ideal for buyers , not great for sellers
This looks a great car for the money in red with black trim , 60k £10290 with dealer warranty https://www.evanshalshaw.com/search/VehicleDetails/used-car-bmw-z4--manual-petrol-red-roadster-YC62HKT/

or private 2012 2.0 60k Msport 60k in white asking £9500 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201904136944452?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&make=BMW&year-from=2012&postcode=bb120hr&model=Z4&sort=price-asc&radius=1500&page=1

Mine has just turned 7k miles.

I really don't get that with a modern car :? its never going to be a classic so if you don't drive its pretty pointless having it

This ^^^^

It may not be Kingfishers intention but I made the same mistake with my new 35is, I kept it mint and low miles just for someone else to benefit. Big mistake. The Boxster will get used as much as possible.

All those cars of Titantims that went back barely used utterly pointless ownership of benefit only to whoever bought them next

Bit of TLC needed but pretty cheap..
