If your looking you have probably seen this. Something I never thought I would do. But priorities are changing at the moment.

Absoulte example of a car.

Am i that far off the market for price?

 

This wont be relisted. Last change to have this appreciation in your shed, not mine.

Tbh I think you might be?? Although it’s the same cars that are sitting on TM and not selling, some fairly poor examples imho.
 

Very nice mods in the KW’s and Brembo’s, the Dame Edna rear lights are nice to have as well, but no mention of the big ticket items having being done?

have you had any interest at all? Even low ball offers?

Had no interest at all, which really surprises me. Had One person view in the few months it's been listed. He ended up purchasing the KGB777 white M5, if you know it. Never made an offer on mine. 

The 'big ticket' items have not been done. As this is not showing any signs or symptoms. But ack your point.

The ones that are listed for cheap imo are cheap for a reason. All look rough (although thats my bias, havnt viewed them) and high kays. Agree some have had these 'big ticket' items addressed, but it is what it is.

I guess all markets are tough at the moment.

Last ditch effort really as only listed on a free list whim. If it comes to it will stay as my weekend pleasure.

No longer listed? I couldn't find it.

FWIW, I listed my 130i for a dreamer price and got no interest at all, not even a question or txt from a potential buyer, then after about two months I had 5 offers of interest in a 10 day period, 2 low-balls, 1 middling, and 2 at well above my (unpublished) bottom line, ended up selling it for more than I paid for it (but not more than I'd put into it, buyer still got a great deal IMO). And let's be honest, it was a non-M car auto... not exactly at the top of any BMW dreamer's list. Yours on the other hand...

So, just as a post of encouragement, if you're not needing to pass it on urgently, in my case at least, patience paid (well).

The market is super odd at the moment.
I honestly feel like the NZ enthusiast car market is heavily influenced by popular youtubers and whatever is the flavor of the month.

In the generic shitbox car sector I had to fight to buy a 2011 Nissan Xtrail.  There were over 100 of them for sale at the time and yet I was under pressure to get one....

I agree with Driftit on the influencer impact.

Chris Harris with be showing off his rebuilt E61 M5 one of these days, that should help refocus the cool factor on these cars and hopefully push some demand back into the market for local sellers.

Also think sometimes M cars get tarnished with FUD and it sticks regardless of the car. No doubt non owners will list every fault the can possibly happen and talk themselves out of owner some of the best driving experiences they can have. Stops them from committing. Meanwhile many of us m series owners have had s54 / s65 based cars that don’t have bearing / smg pumps / subframe ( e46 ) issues even at high mileage.

I guess make it clear in your add that you’ve been a long term BMW enthusiasts and the m5 hasn’t been passed from owner to owner and thrashed.  Good luck with your sale.
