Secniv 182 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 Some of you may have been following my progress on the E36 M3 here.. It’s had a lot of attention over the past 2 years on top of good bones and attention by previous owners. However it needs to make way for my latest purchase a 911. Mark from Classic Car Valuations will be providing me a valuation but I’m keen to get your thoughts. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 lol - I thought mine might be worth $25k until a near identical one sold for $37k in less than 24h so my valuations seem wide of the mark! ? However, if you've knocked off most of your wish-list in the link above then I'd say $30k all day and work back from there depending on how much is outstanding. I'm very, very keen to hear what your valuer comes up with! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 Its insane how much the market has moved. I struggled hard to sell it for $13k when I sold it. With all the work done it certainly increases the value, and its a very good example now, but the KM will be the ultimate deciding factor as it must be up near 250k now? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradgalbraith 218 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 Very interested to see how you get on. I looked at what they're listed for over in Aussie and nearly fell off my chair! I'd say list around the 30k mark. I've always maintained that the E36 M3 has been undervalued for years and it would seem people are only starting to fully appreciate them now. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 being one of the earlier ones ('94), 3.0 instead of 3.2, and higher mileage will bring the price down a bit. I would have thought $20-25k depending on market demand. No harm in pricing it high because any interested party will get in touch and negotiate it to an acceptable price. Seems like prices of E36/E46/E9x M3's are all hovering around the similar mark nowadays but they are all so very different cars. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 I think mileage will scare off enough people to impact value a bit - $25K maybe? What kind of 911? a 997 manual would be an attainable dream car for me, except not really attainable haha Maybe a 987 Cayman 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradgalbraith 218 Report post Posted September 15, 2020 I think there's enough interest in these cars at the moment to 'reset' the market price. If people only ever see E36 M3s listed in the 30s then it's only a matter of time before that becomes the actual price. I'd have to think it would sell reasonably quickly at $25k. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 Exactly. One car selling for 37k doesn't represent true market value either. If it wasn't silver id probably make you an offer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you're referring to the red one with 200,000 km + and the white RHD one have been sitting around for ages but there's a limit to this 'trick' haha. Taking shoddy photos of your M3 on the lawn and listing for $100k is never a winning combination for a quick sale. My point is if there's someone who really wants one and they have the cash, they'll be looking at the options in front of them even if they come at a premium.

"D0GLEG" would be a fine case study - left hook euro spec in a great combo of black over uberkaro cloth, seller wanted $130K and got $90K at auction - 69% of what they listed it for. As an aside - a friend owned the red M3 about 15 years ago, along with a matching Brilliantrot M325i - the M325i was such a nicer proposition 90% of the time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
