This one too, were it not for the shill bids...

Otherwise I'd expect it to go for the SALT number... Same As Last Time.

Lovely car. One of my fave colors.

Here's one that's a reality check as it relates to all that goes into valuation of these cars - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-bmw-m3-coupe-25/

LSB coupe 6MT alone is not enough to fetch top $. High mileage, non-original interior, pre-LCI, not exactly well maintained/refreshed and IMO poor presentation (especially with the LCM tamper dot issue).

I think it was a decent deal for someone who really wanted LSB but again, it goes to show that LSB alone does not equal big money when the rest is sub-par.

[DJAM3]

Definitely under $40k. Personally I think it's a $25k car but I selfishly would like to see it go for $30k since I will be listing my '01 TiAG/Anthracite Impuls for sale shortly. Considering listing on one of the auction sites for a quick sale and less hassle.

[BlueBimmers]

We shall see. Seller involvement and responsiveness will be a factor as always.

Did you see the Imola seller who didn't realize he had 215s up front until I told him? But he immediately ordered correct size and probably saved a lot of $ at final gavel.

[PetrolM3]

The only thing the above car has going for it is the Imola interior. Despite that, silver exterior/pre-LCI/not exactly low mileage and inevitable work that will need to get addressed in the near future make this a sub $30K car for me, probably closer to 25.

[BlueBimmers]

OK I'll play. Sounds like nice maintenance and the imola interior makes a big difference. But a little more work could have been done - tires ancient, rearview malfunctioning, key fob doesn't work, Vanos and subframe unaddressed. The lack of Xenons would bug me. Pre facelift already mentioned. I say $37K all in takes this one home.

I'm gonna say this goes for $40k... over and under?

Under by at least $10k.

silver and pre-lci? imola interior helps a lot though. 29k.

EDIT... I really think $35k + Fees, but saying $40k to prove a point... 2 owner, under 100k miles, 6MT, Mass car says probably not driven in winter, undercarriage confirms, classic color combo w/Imola, last of the great inline 6 and all that fun stuff, stack of paperwork... car checks a lot of boxes for that number... not much to buy that checks all those boxes for that cash... any more, buy something else.

You only need to have driven one 60s muscle car to know driving experience is irrelevant.

[maw1124]

It's closer to being a $40K car than the asking price because of such high mileage and non-original interior, not because all E46 cars are worth $40K regardless of miles and spec as per your analogy. If this car was LCI, had less than 60K miles and the interior was original, it would easily fetch even more than the asking price.

I said they're a $40k car DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

Worth is a funny word. They're worth whatever someone pays.

Maybe I'm missing the point of the thread.
