Michael. 2313 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Does seem to be asking a premium over others of similar year and spec... have to at least be a motorsport version for that kinda price IMO Depends what kinda service history can be provided too, considering its NZ New.

chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Yea its got pretty much full service history i think, and from what i can see the original buyer got every single extra possible inc reverse parking sensors, sport/bucket leather seats, sunroof, steering wheel controls, upgraded stereo, cruise control etc etc. I think this is reflected by the higher price. Every other one ive looked at has maybe one or two of the above mentioned extras but not all.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 You are both obviously on the wrong forum if you dont think that car is worth over 5k smh. Tell me what BMWs you both currently drive and what you paid please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Pros: Reasonable mileage, good condition, service history, NZ new, 330i Cons: Not a popular colour combo, beige leather and wood... Non-m-sport, awful wheels, tape deck, no bluetooth $5k may be a little harsh, but certainly nowhere near a $10.5k car - anyone that puts "tyres nitrogen filled" on their car advert has some odd ideas about motoring. I would put it in the $6k range, he is into 6-cylinder E90 money at his asking. Keep an eye on the $1 reserve silver M-sport 330i auction, currnetly at just over $4k (sorry silly browser won't let me copy a link at the moment) to see where that ends up. Since you asked... FWIW, my wife's car is an '04 330d M-Sport touring manual brought it in many moons ago and the purchase price wasn't much above his asking way back then - but it was from the Uk. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Yea i know the motorsport one you are speaking of, have been in contact with the owner and will be bidding on it. Out of curiosity what do you think it worth? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=921682513 Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me what BMWs you both currently drive and what you paid please. youre telling me im on the wrong forum with 34 posts compared to my 2700? lol smh at you Jon pretty much summed up all the pros and cons i agree with him 100% ive owned over 10 bmw's and one of them was a genuine msport 2002 Facelif 330i sedan in black with black suede interior, sunroof, 19" genuine bmw wheels, service history with 130'ks at the time of purchase which was like 4 years ago and I paid 10k for it. sold it 2 years later for 9k you can get pretty nice 330i msports for around $5-6k these days.

qube 3570 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 i did say that i would only 'pay' 5k for it. not that it was 'worth' 5k. imo its worth 6k and hence my reason for saying id pay 5k. also for me to love this car, it would need at least msport suspension or adjustables and bodykit which would cost another 2k or so. then i would have to remove those wolverine looking wheels and change it for something better another $500-1k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Yea ok enough about the first car, thoughts on the Motorsport model that i posted further down the forum for $1res, im going to bid on it and wondering what you would perceive a 'fair' price. Keeping in mind that its in very tidy condition, current owner has had since about 50,000kms and all maintence etc has been done, doesnt burn or leak a drip of oil etc etc. Heres the link: http://www.trademe.c...px?id=921682513 Edited July 29, 2015 by chadders23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubix 434 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) The first car would be worth the 10.5k if it were 5 speed. Unfortunately, being automatic and a fairly unpopular model (Sedan, interior combo + non-m sport, no bluetooth and tape deck), it's not worth more than around 6-6.5k. It is in great condition for what it is, but it's no m-sport, or a manual.In terms of Msport 330's - I've seen them go from 6k for a shitter to upwards of 12k for a perfect condition example.

qube 3570 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Christ i would hate to see whats been said in those 2700 posts haha. more of the same sort of thing really.. lol Yea ok enough about the first car, thoughts on the Motorsport model that i posted further down the forum for $1res, im going to bid on it and wondering what you would perceive a 'fair' price.

chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Yea theres a couple of nice 330ci on trademe atm for that 6-7 mark from memory (only really looking in South Island) They look the tits but for work etc id be better off with a four door. And im wanting something decent thats really tidy that i will have for a good few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chadders23 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 This for example must be good buying, just not quite what im looking for. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-923140314.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 just had a quick look through trademe at all the e46 330i sedans. basically no good msport + low mileage combo at a good price at the moment. some nice msport ones around 7k but high kms, probably not really worth it..

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Pricing seems to be shifting pretty quick with E46 330i models. I remember when I bought my 325i E36 in 2009 for 5k, it seems like quite a good buy as a 16 year old car. Any decent 330i models coupe/sedan/wagon were all in excess of 15k at that time, 20k or whereabouts for a well optioned model. I would have though 6,7,8k would be relative for a decent 330i example, condition dependent now days. Less than 5k seems 318-320-323i money. My dad just bought a single owner NZ new 330i Motorsport sedan for 7.5k with all the service history, 188km. Seems very reasonable at the end of the day, only fault I've noticed with the car are slightly tired engine mounts giving a bit of vibration at low rpms.
