Help with valuation on my pearl white 3.0L?

[Chris.]

Evening folks!

I've finally finished my little z4 project. With a recent promotion at work I can finally start looking into a z4m or similar!

Which brings me onto my post, asking for some advice on a realistic price for her? I'd love to keep both but need a deposit from somewhere!

03 plate,
3.0L
102k
FSH
Manual
6 month TAX
12 month MOT
Pearl white vinyl wrap. Very good quality, fully stripped the car at extra cost for an "as close to paint" finish as possible.
19" staggered/split BBS LM-R reps 8.5/10j et25.
FK coilovers. Mid range value wise.
Genuine BMW leather wind deflector.
Xenon's
Headlights restored
Interior valeted
Roof fully functioning, drains cleaned and roof restored/deep cleaned.
Sound generator mod.
Original 17" alloys provided for winter.
Carbon badges
Aero spoiler provided
Spare vinyl.
Black leather,
Bluetooth hands free
Aux cable fitted
Electric memory seats.

Think that's about everything... Any ideas?
I'm trying to upload photos now.

Thanks for any advice and hope you like what I've done with her
Chris.

Sub 5k - but could do with some internal and external pictures

I thought Ranski was being a bit mean there to begin with but a search on AT shows pretty much exactly what he said...^^ sadly

 

[Chris.]

Ouch, feel sub 5k is a tad harsh considering the modifications, two sets of alloys etc...
Then again I am shocked at some of the prices. Photos added anyhow,

Cheers!

mine is the same year as yours, well a few more mods and less miles and I wouldn't put mine above £5.5k money

But all depends what else is on the market

 

[Chris.]

Ah I see, well I've been living in lala land a little bit then! Brought me back to reality, but that's the whole reason I made this thread to compare and get a good idea of where I should be value wise.
I'd hoped it may be worth 6k at a push obviously I was a tad off the mark :?
Thanks for you're input, smart looking zed you have too

Looks like a white version of mine :lol: very smart.

What size tyres do you have on the rear? If they're 265/30, how on earth do they not rub? Mine did so had to go with 255/35's

I'd put it up for £5495 with a view to taking £5000 for it. It looks a nice example. However, mods (specifically aftermarket stuff) doesn't usually add value and it also narrows the market down.

I'd put the standard alloys and suspension on if possible, but keep the wrap on it for the new owner to decide what to do. Although, some people think a vinyl wrap hides terrible paintwork underneath.

Thanks for your input Ben! I knew someone else had lm-r's! They're 255/35 currently, rubbed over any sort of rough ground. I could have either stretched some thinner tyres and hoped that solved it, or have my mate from a local body shop come down with an arch roller... I went for the latter, no rubbing issues even with spirited drives on the B roads

The car was in a sorry state to be honest. Wheels needed a desperate refurb, stone chips to the front bumper, and I was sick to death of replacing springs. I bought the coilovers and wheels etc... Hoping to solve issues but also add a bit more interest to it.
However it's as you say, smaller market sadly!

I think the fact it's pearl white shouldn't affect a sale too much. If it was matte white I think it would, but the pearl makes it look nice and glossy, so almost like normal clean paintwork.

Coilovers again may be fine. Just explain the limits of the standard suspension, which anyone who's researched z4's should know about.

It certainly looks fantastic and should catch the buyers eye in a sea of grey and black zed's for sale.

As ben said, keep the wrap but swap out the wheels and suspension. I'm sure you won't struggle to sell those on.

With that said, it does look great! Best of luck with it!

Could be interested in the front coil overs if you decide to sell

I was going to ask if you had the arches rolled as it shows in the pictures.
