I'll get the prize for paying the most, hehe, bought a maldives blue mint for £950, Paid £30 juice to pick it up and then paid £780 to get the window removed and resprayed by BMW in house bodyshop! That's £1,760!!!Could've bought a new one for that! Looks really nice, doesn't leak and makes me realize I should maybe take money more seriously. LOL!
FS black hardtop €999. Update: Price now GBP723

They rarely sell here for £550-750. The last one for that money needed a respray, it had a few nasty deep scratches...And a cheap and cheerful back street blow over (without removing rear window) gonna cost at least £350.
For a mint condition sapphire black you're looking at around £850 upwards. The auctions may start around £550 but always
rise up to the £800-£900s.
Of course they have gone for less, will go for less but the majority go for more
I've watched a few go for that price. Obviously you pay more for a mint one. That's how the world works for everything. What I'm saying is if your patient hardtops come up at decent price, you have to move quick thou.
Lol...Tbh, I just wanted a black one that wasn't damaged...and I wanted it NOW!Chris_D said:The prize for the 'money no object, it has to conform to my exacting standards' goes to.......DMC63 said:As the saying goes 'There's always one!"Chris_D said:

I have the original invoice for my one and I'm telling you, you couldn't have bought a new one for that :wink:
They were around £1500 new, I almost ordered one with my first Z but decided against it and was I glad about that decision. I would have never used it.
The last new ones from BMW went between £500 and £900 depending on the colour. Maldives / Merlot were the cheapest at the low end but that was because the colour was discontinued very early in the production cycle of the E85.

Hi Fred. Yep, it's all done and looks great. I'm gonna wash the jamjar and take a couple of pics when the sun comes out.
Sounds good
