What is this e90 m3 worth?

Platinum Child · 05-13-2015, 03:39 PM

Been looking at an e90 m3, its has no options whatsoever.

Cloth manual, non-heated seats

No power folding mirrors, no nav, no EDC, no anything

It is 2011, alpine white with 20k miles, and it has a CPO for two years.

Carfax is clean, and 1 owner car.

Just trying to gauge what the car is worth so I can make an offer.

I'm thinking $45,000-$47000 because it is a true stripper with no options, therefore probably the lightest version possible.

I would say less than that because unless you're plan to make it a track car, no one is going to want it.

Edward · 05-13-2015, 04:13 PM

20k. It's gunna cost so much to retrofit options into that car to make it driveable.

davesaddiction · 05-13-2015, 04:17 PM

You'd better buy it before I do. Ha!

I think you're joking?

okusa · 05-13-2015, 04:27 PM

Definitely not worth $45k. I'd say closer to $40k as a stripper.

Real enthusiast pay more for stipped m3s.

No way.

What happened to the real m3 drivers who searched for cars with little to no options. Everyone wants to bitch about BMW being watered down as a brand and it's because of the drivers here lol.

Beemdog · 05-13-2015, 04:32 PM

So if I was looking for a track car, is there some advantage of an E90 over an E92??

Any real enthusiast would tell you that E90 B pillars add real structural rigidity, hence a likely better chassis for the track. That's why real enthusiasts pay up big time for stripped down E90s amirite?

Right, that's why I said unless you plan to make it a track car. There are not very many 'real enthusiasts' out there, so it will more than likely be a tough sell for the person trying to sell it.

Good argument. But these cars are pretty stiff even without the pillar. Most track guys install a real cage anyways so it shouldn't matter

You're right about one thing. There's not many real enthusiasts here. Just posers now.

grantmax · 05-13-2015, 05:11 PM

I think this car is worth approximately $31-32.5k. It only has an engine and one clutch. Oh and keep in mind, Alpine White is the least "manly" of the exterior colors.

With the F8x M3/4 on the scene, this car won't be worth much of anything in a couple years. Good luck, OP!

JoePcone · 05-13-2015, 05:18 PM

I would say due to the warranty its a $35k car. The amount of people that want this car with 0 options are almost non-existent. On here everyone pretends they're a race car driver wanting a "pure" driving experience on the road.

Edward · 05-13-2015, 05:22 PM

I have a lightly used above ground pool I would probably part with for this car.

OP should've never created this thread. Are you kidding? You're delusional regarding Your pricepoint.

For what it's worth I sold my cloth m3 seats for much more than what comparable leather ones go for. The true m3 guys are still around. Apparently not here.

Hmm

I bought my stripped optionless 08 alpine white e90 because it was the cheapest and cleanest M3 I could find at the time.
