gjm 3258 Report post Posted December 13, 2020 Looks like a nice car but silly pricing. Imported, converted to manual, fitted with coilovers, but no mention of a cert. Still, start with a high price, and you never know your luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2550 Report post Posted December 13, 2020 The highest price I've seen and while it looks nice, it isn't a particularly desirable colour - I think a black one (converted) went for $13k very quickly a few months back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most E9x manuals ive seen are real low spec stuff or diesels. The E46 does look nice, but for that price i'd expect @Sammo nice, and its not. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think in reality, their rarity is matched by the small % of buyers who want a manual. My old manual E46 didn't exactly have a flood of manual enthusiasts after it, and it didn't fetch any more than the market price in the 6 months it took me to sell it. Not sure about now but when shopping for E9x 330is, 335is, and M3s a while back, I didn't notice any significant price discrepancy between the autos and manuals, bar a few dreamers whose listings stayed up forever. Only sports cars with crappy autos might be different, such as Porsche 911s with the old tiptronic boxes before they had the PDK dual clutch.

Sammo 2550 Report post Posted December 14, 2020 @Matth5 criminal how many 911s got specced with tiptronics... problem with being a status symbol and sports car at same time I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
