    Thanks for your encouragement, the post seems to have gotten out of hand. And unfortunately has already been derailed. I posted the car for sale at what I thought it was worth, obviously i am way out on my evaluation. So lets leave it at that it has only created aggravation for me..

    What I do with my property is none of your concern, you and the rest are enjoying this debate about MY car None of you offered any constructive advice until I decided to wreck it instead of selling it cheap. Thanks for your help and advice.

    One owner, 67,000klms in 14 years, sounds suspicious. But I won't resort to your personal attacks. Your post is not about helping me, but clearly to devalue my car. Enjoy!

    But aren't you the "thrash" driver that posted before? I don't believe you bought a one owner 330i in the condition you state for $4500. If you did the seller must be a fool. Post some pics of your car if you are genuine?

    Well seems you are all right, my car is worth peanuts. It is now off the market. I'd rather wreck it than sell for $4500. They are obviously crap and don't know why anyone would buy one? Better off with a Toyota, at least they hold their value. BMW enthusiasts indeed!

    My point exactly. As a self confessed "thrash" driver, the "M" package would be to your liking. For me however, the softer ride and "less to go wrong" options are more attractive, especially when buying an older car. But it's all subjective, I've got what I've got and enjoy driving it.

    Well I'm not sure that the E90 is better than the E46, from what mechanics have told me when working on mine, the E46 is the better of the two models. No need to apologize, I took no offence, according to others who have replied, I am wrongly valuing my car.. However I'm not sure that just because a BMW is an M-sport, necessarily makes it a better buy, they seem to be popular with the younger thrash drivers and can be big trouble at this age and mileage. I'm 68 and drive conservatively. Of course this discussion is irrelevant and as Olaf pointed out, the price is entirely dependent on what someone will pay. It is sad though that caring for these cars adds no future value?

    Trade Me listing #: 1267045950 I believe this is an E46, later year less Klms but note the price, is this worth twice what mine is?

    It's about value for money for me, not about adding on maintenance, as Eliongater points out, the car is well maintained and been looked after as a BMW should be. It's obvious that there is no value in second hand BMWs anymore. I put it on Trade Me at $6500 starting price ad didn't get a bid. Buyers will go to a dealer and pay over $10.000 for these, why? Warranty which you can buy cheaper than a dealer will charge? Finance which anyone with a good credit rating can get cheaper at a bank? Of course I am disheartened with the whole BMW experience now,

    I hear what you say, but look on Trade Me, at what you can buy for $8000, I know how much I've enjoyed this car and how much I've spent to keep things right, (around $4500 in the last year and a half) I'm valuing it on what it is and how it drives. Rather sell it to a wrecker than sell it for peanuts so that some young guy can buy it and turn it into a thrash car!

    Well, seems I should have listened to the BMW knockers, this well maintained beauty is not even worth the same as a Ford Focus with more Klms. It can go to the wreckers.

    Yep true, never driven there, but we all know the problems this anomaly causes here for Chinese drivers.

    Yeah, great cars, it's been my baby for a while and feel sad about selling it, but I can't take it to China, steering wheels on the wrong side....lol. I've got all the receipts for work I've had done, never had a problem with it, but got a check done when I bought it and everything on the list was fixed.

    I'm getting notifications of your replies on an old email address that Bimmersport must have from when I joined? Nothing about email contact in my profile.

    Glenn, how do I add or change an email address on my profile?
