i have a late 2008 lci 330i e90 saloon m sport and it took me ages and ages to find one with this spec nearly 3 years ago.its a rare car which is good in a sense but when it comes to pricing it to sell then there nothing to compare it to as they are so scarce.
It's space grey with sat nav,mv3's,Bluetooth etc.pretty much everything you'd want.only done just over 40,000 miles.
Any ideas?

Any photos?

Also any rarer options like Idrive, adaptive cruise control etc?

Some of the rarer options would mean people will pay more when compared to others.

Yeh it has the updated idrive with widescreen nav(think that's professional)full black leather interior,just the standard cruise control,m3 lip spoiler.
It's Manual.
I know it's worth more to the right person who is looking for this particular model.the last thing I want to do it give it away because it's just such a fantastic car.
Think I remember seeing a very similar one at the dealers recently with maybe slightly less miles for around 14/15k
Aside from that one I don't think I've seen a similar specked one for sale in the last 3 years!

If it's a manual, it might be worth more than an auto. Get some pics up. Would love one of these to replace my 330d

[neallo]

Ok yeh I was meant to say in my last post that I would have to take some photos once I've cleaned the car of course.:-)

Can't imagine you will struggle to sell. Spent ages trying to find 330i in manual. So few about and the ones I could find out of my price range.

[MrPogle]

I'm not convinced manuals are worth anything extra. They are more desirable to some but less desirable to most. When I bought my 330i (58 plate, low mileage, leather, pro-nav) the dealer had a choice of two vehicles which were basically identical apart from the gearboxes and they were the same price.

[surrey 335i]

Sounds a lovely spec hold out for a buyer who really wants a manual as they are quite rare in saloon form.

Not sure on price what are dealers advertising them at with low mileage? I'm selling my 2007/57 330i manual for £6500 ( high mileage).

That's impressive considering auto was a £1500 option over manual..

[E92Dan]

If lots of people spec a £1500 auto, but lots of people want a manual then the manual ends up worth more.


Supply and demand

(im not saying more people do want an auto)

[KM79]

Very true.Just shows you if manual was undesirable it's still gained value up to the auto pricing.

I'm not saying manuals don't hold their value better. Just that they aren't worth any more.

[KM79]

Neither am I.my point being I'm saying an auto box was £1500 generally more than a manual.if auto and manual are the same selling price then you're £1500 investment at purchase is worth nothing at resale.

Well Certain people have convinced me that I'd be insane to part with it and of course they are right.Ive never kept a car this long as I usually get bored after a year or so but deep down I know I will regret it if I sold it so it's staying for now-or until a point where I can afford an X5! So probably never..
