Fair market value ?

[M3 Driver]

what is a fair market value for-
one owner / garaged in central Texas
85K miles
2005 M3 Coupe with SMG
Carbon Black with Cinnabar leather
all factory options inc sunroof and Nav and premium audio
19 OEM wheels with spacers

[Tbonem3]

$25k

tbone is pretty spot on if the car is really clean. Below is an smg carbon black with cinnamon but it is a zcp which increased the price a bit and this zcp car would pull a few thousand more under current conditions. In 2019 or 2020 the car your mentioning is 20 to 23k.

Edit: If the owner has any of the big three completed that would add some value.

A more recent tiag/imola bug way less miles.

Thank you for the input.

I think that price is probably low-- I'd guess more like 30-35.

I think 25-30k depends of condition.

BAT data doesn’t show that. All the ones in that range and SMG, even recently are zcp or low mileage examples. But so much is dependent on how the car presents.

$30k if 6spd

The market has softened in the last couple of months. People aren't over spending like they were 6 months ago, unless maybe a low mileage perfect car or LSB or IB ZCP.

Doesn't look like there's been a change in trend...

I've also noticed a decrease in asking price lately. However, I don't think that means that cars have been selling for less.

I think that six months ago, people saw that nice examples were selling for lots of money and started listing their subpar cars for lots of money too. Now, people are realizing that only nice cars are selling $30-40k+, so the prices on most of the listing on craigslist/facebook/etc are coming down.

Point is, I think people seem to be asking less compared now to six months ago, but the overall trend of sales price for E46 M3 is that it's going up.

A couple of charts from my BAT spreadsheet. Month/Year is interesting because it shows summer or early fall is the best time to sell. The reason why July 2021 dipped? A bunch of SMG cars that month lol.

Is there a breakdown between coupe vs. vert and SMG vs. 6MT? I've been out of the game for awhile now (had a baby) but still have my E46 M3 that rarely gets driven.
