Someone's letting their E93 go cheap.

Damn, it looks like the market's taken a hit in the last few months: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/...-4619411/?Cr=0

I wonder what's wrong with it.

It has 150k kms for starters.

It will sell to someone, and probably become a money pit unfortunately

This car has a steering wheel on the right hand side, that alone makes it worth double yours!

I'm in the market for an M3 (well, maybe), so have been keeping an eye on prices. There are quite a few high km / early year / less desirable specs / poor condition (I suppose, haven't inspected) that are regularly popping up in the low $40's. They seem to move pretty quickly too.

This is another example. Fairly high km, but appears to be in reasonable condition - https://www.carsales.com.au/private/...-4848844/?Cr=2

This one looks like a good buy - https://www.carsales.com.au/private/...-4709196/?Cr=6 as this https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/d...14928436/?Cr=0

I was in the market 12 months ago and saw the odd example pop up around $50k, but nothing in the convertible for less than $60. I've had a search running since, I think it's just that the convertibles are far less common, but the cheapest I've seen previously was still north of $50k.

When you put it in context with those hardtop advertisements - yeah, it seems like a reasonable price given it's got 150k on the clock.

.... pity my 135i is also now worth 10k less than when I bought it, otherwise I'd look at trading up

Just remember, what it is advertised for, is not always what it sells for. Unless it is priced right to begin with.

As with all euro cars, and especially moreso with high performance, there is an exponential decline for high km versions.
