Take a look at this- my former car listed for $50k!! Sold my car to these guys (bought it from them too). Was hoping this wouldn't happen but figured it would:

The best part is that cars.com says its a "fair" price...I get that used car prices have gone up during COVID, but that price is not in line with market, I'm left scratching my head on that one.

I contacted this selling Dealer a few weeks ago regarding their e90 ZCP M3 and they claimed to have received multiple offers in the mid 40s, and would accept no lower than $46k.

It's been listed for a while. I'm not sure it will actually sell for that price given the mileage.

Everyone said the same thing about the white E90 that was on sale for $55k about 6 months ago, and eventually it sold. For what? Who knows but I suspect if his floor is $46k and he still stands to make ~$9K on the deal then someone will show up eventually.

I hope they have immense trouble selling it. We all know EAG charges, but you get a well sorted car, and I respect how they preserve the brand.
On the other hand, these driveanything guys don’t seem legitimate…it’s a shame they have some clean M3s in their inventory. I hope the broader enthusiast community realizes this.

The car literally shows sale pending as of today. You jinxed it.

Pre-emptive apologies to the next buyer if they stumble upon the forums.

So here we are, summer 2021. How are the values? I see on autotrader the ranges on e90 m3s are $20-$54k

TBH, I'm also getting the itch to get a M4 GTS and maybe sell mine. Just under 16k miles on mine; the interior still smells like new. I wonder what that could fetch?!

At that low mileage, a lot. What's the specs on it?

ZCP 6MT Jet black on black, double hump, sunroof, rod bearings done, all internal cooling upgraded, AP Racing bbk, CF driveshaft, and some Dinan goodies to name a few.

In 10 years $75K + ; )

There's one ending today on BAT. It's DCT with 88k miles but looks really nice. Bid is in the mid 20s with 5 hours left.

Wow, $31.75k not including BAT fees!

Car was clean, but with 3 accidents on the title that pricing is pretty wild.

Another one just hit BAT. 6spd and supercharged with 60k miles. I'm curious if the supercharger will help or hurt the value. I kinda see it as a negative personally.

I do too, but it can go either way and wouldn’t be surprised

Found a '11 Alpine white E90 M3 DCT with 14.5k miles. Car includes the Competition Package, Premium Package and Technology Package.

List for $48k but I feel like I should offer lower around low $40ish. What do you guys think?

For that mileage and it's a ZCP, I think it's a screaming deal.

I think with that mileage EAG already bought it.

Hey Guys - I work for this dealership. Figured I'd get some exposure on this car as it's an incredible example of a 2011 M3. Not to mention how this is an extremely unique 1 of 30 special editions to commemorate the e30. Let me know what you guys think!

Sold and serviced by Autohaus BMW.

So an update for 2022. I decided to do some valuation comparisons for direct purchases by Cargurus and Carvana. For context, my M3 is a 2011, 16k miles, ZCP, 6MT, sunroof, no accidents, great shape, 2 owner. Here are the results:

Carvana offered me $30,372.
Cargurus offered me $37,811

Obviously, Cargurus is the best choice if I'd want to sell asap. My guess is they'd buy it and turn it around for $55k+

Here's the proof:
