Saw that on Auto trader and got all excited, but realised they wrongly categorised it as a manual
.. correct on eBay
 
Nice looking 30i in rare colour combo:

I like a white e89 but I'm not sure I agree with the sales pitch "mud guards set car off". :rofl:

Didn't know cars still had mud guards :o
 
In the US the market seems to be softening. I shopped and purchased a E89 this past month. I shopped nationally. There are lots of E85-86 with high mileage under $10k. Many E89 with auto and mileage near or over 100k under $15k. Mileage makes a big difference in value. Well equipped E89s with less than 60k are bringing $18-22k on average. And rare cars with 3.0 engine with less than 30K miles are asking $30 and up although they are not selling fast. I nearly pulled the trigger (debit card aimed and cocked) for $30k on a 2012 3.0 with just 19k miles but, I came to my senses about owning another black car in the dusty SW US. It is a drive it/ wash it/ drive it/ wash it syndrome unending :thumbsdown:
Manual transmissions are harder to find. And finding one without high miles is nearly impossible. My understanding is that these cars are so fun to drive that every manual 3.0 has has lots and lots of enjoyment.
I chose a 2010 3.0i manual with 60k miles and gave $17k for it with a clean BMW inspection. This from a dealer. You may do better from a private party but we are very happy with the car we got. Love the metallic gray :thumbsup:

Seems like prices are higher in US, in UK a 30i with about 20K miles go for around 16K GBP from a BMW dealership and around 13 to 14K GBP at private sale. I bought mine back in May at auction it's a 2009 30i with 32k miles the trade book value was around 9300 GBP (Caps clean) I was expecting to pay 10K GBP but ending up paying a lot more, some trade buyer on the internet kept pushing the price up! :x But I had to have it since I couldn't afford to keep coming from Spain to UK to look at cars.
 
It does seem your price is quite lower... here these E89 are imports and the numbers brought in were low in general.
I hear ya on the search. I was tossing in my sleep shopping in my dreams. I finally conceded to a couple of points (mileage being one and the fancy red leather being another) and picked one - kinda like choosing a wife :P :rofl:

It has an 18i badge on the wing, cheap car if there is nothing wrong with mechanically and the mileage is correct! Just looked at it again, he says heated seats but from the photos of the interior there aren't any buttons for the seats.
 
interesting. its now on sale on Autotrader.. 10k..
