[Sp02zbr]

Worth that just to use the engine as an upgrade

an upgrade for a 2.2 maybe, the comment was tongue in cheek by the way, even if its f***ed its worth 2k

Having kept an eye on the Z3 ads now for a couple of years, I'd say that a 3.0 in regular used condition, that is, maintained only so it will scrape through an MOT, is worth £3500. Add to this one, the Dakar paint and the wheels and the sports seats plus the Harman Kardon, I reckon its up to £5000. But the paint will drag it down to the £4000 area.

Sadly most buyers don't view the MOT history, nor will they view the underside. For some the underseal will appear as a bonus, plus the view of the new discs through the wheels will seem as everything under the car is new. There's no pics of the interior, so I'm guessing not all is good there either.

Only enthusiast 3.0 owned cars seem to sell over £5000, and any other exceptional 6 cyl cars, 4cyl cars have great difficulty getting over £3000, with most selling around £1500.

So my guess is that this will end up at £4550, and when it finally ends up on the new owners drive, another story will start!

Any other guesses at final price?

Yes it will probably sell for around the 4k region but its not worth anything like that as it will more then likely need an aweful lot of work, and yes the sport pack adds value but not sure where you get the idea that dakar adds value though

 

[Sp02zbr]

I don’t think the sport pack makes any difference to the price. Only worth money if it’s for parts

Condition is first. It’s just a bonus if it has that.

Anything with the "individual" tag adds some £££s! Of course it won't appeal to everyone, but it will to some!

Is this an individual?

 

[Z3I]

I havn't seen the sticker under the hood, but Dakar was only available at that time as an individual choice,

Does yours have an individual sticker under the bonnet on the nearside wheelarch?

No mine is not an individual. on the car advertised it does not look like this one is too?

Not sure I agree, there are plenty of 2.2i made around 2001, 2002 in Dakar. I would love to know how many 3.0i were made in this colour, this is only the second I have seen.

I'd love to know the VIN on this to see if it was out of the same batch as mine.

I bought a 2.8 new in Melbourne in 1998, in Dakar, and that had an "individual" sticker on it. I guess that BMW did as they felt like really! Especially when the model was getting on, and the z4 was on the way.

That makes sense in 98 Dakar would have been a special order.

 

[Althulas]

Also could be mates bidding to get the ball rolling. I think you be better off biding your time and paying the extra for a better example than that unless he let you have it for less than 1K.

 

[Jack Ratt]

How long has the auction got to run? If it's still around at the weekend I might go and see how good or bad it is. If it's in Falmouth it's only 12 miles away from me.
I wont be bidding though

I'm thinking of selling my 3litre in silver red roof msport in my opinion it's a 8/9 out 10 inside and out car, if you're interested give me a shout

£4800 with a day to go!
