SOLD Z3M S54 2002 PHEONIX YELLOW

[Brian H]

But that's the problems with auctions leaving you unable to gauge market prices

The auction house was a well known auction house and the sale was advertised so it stood a good chance of selling well, it just did not. I certainly do not want to hijack this thread with price wars etc. in fact if you wish to clean it up by taking out my comments I do not mind (sorry @Desiro). I really, really hope this goes to an enthusiast that will drive it and use it well….IMO too many of these cars are being squirrelled away and treated as an investment.

We are not really sure, how much do you want to pay for it?

10k and i'll pick it up next week, it also comes with the proviso that I will drive it, I will use and I will take it to track-days

P.S. I know that figure will not cut the mustard but a boys gotta try

It's a beautiful car and the colour that I would have as my top choice, with the seca blue ( i think that's the colour) as a close second. The mileage would probably put me off though, but on the flip side of that whilst I understand the logic of the 'garage queen' it's such a shame not to see such a beautiful car on the road on a day like this.
In a nutshell if I had the money I'd snap their hand off for the sheer wow factor and rarity.

It's less than average miles when you look at its age.

I don't understand the mileage issue here. A 13 year old car with 96000 on it? 7400 a year, I'm sure BMW built the car to be able to do a damn sight more mileage than that! These very low mileage cars as nice as they potentially carry a lot more problems than cars with more miles, perishing internal seals etc, the rarity of the colour will demand the higher price. My car has 92000 on and drives superbly, yes if it was a Fiat or similar I'd agree but a German car is more than capable of 200000 miles if serviced correctly. Agreed a price ought really to be in the ad tho.

"the rarity of the colour will demand the higher price."
--> why are there so little in this colour.....because not everyone likes it (although I do).
Having a "special" colour has it's pro's and con's....as every thing has it's pro's and con's.
You just need to find that person who doesn't mind the con's (or for whom the con's are actually pro's).

I possible "issue" with these "special" cars (which all classics are) is that it may take some time to find such a person.
If you want to move it quickly, and you don't have that time, you might not be able to wait for that "special" buyer.

Just my personal thoughts

Morning everyone
Sorry for not joining in with the fun yesterday, but I was just too busy organising the house move.

@Brian H Thanks for your kind offer, but I have received a better one this morning.

I'm not going to say how much. because it doesn't really matter if everyone is happy.

Just one thing.......We will still see the car on the Northern meets

Money has exchanged hands, so its a done deal. It didn't quite reach the heady heights people were speculating, but in the end everyone was happy.

I'm certain that before long we will all know who has bought it, maybe at cars in the park on the 27th.

I'm very pleased for Dave in getting a quick sale and I'll post a pic of the Z3M's replacement......Don't laugh!

Told you @M666BMG no more wet dreams for you mate.
Bet you think the 75 is worth a fortune as well........

I've seen s50 cars go for 20k plus mate.

Quick sale will always be below the market value!

Sounds like it's in its way to a new home,
