!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I predicted that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! would go for 27-29k, how wrong I was. It went for 35k. That’s more than this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with a competition package. Albeit, it had the wrong transmission.
I’m honestly surprised that the 2008 went for that much. That said, low mileage 6MT E90 M3s are getting hard to find. I did a quick search and couldn’t find a manual E90 with under 50k miles on it: EAG doesn’t even have one.
This has go me wondering how much mine would go for, considering the fact that it’s done less miles than the 2008 and is an LCI car. Not that I planning on selling mine. It looks like these might be at the bottom of the deprecation curve, so if you’re thinking about a 6MT E9X M3, now is probably getting close to the time to buy.

Throw away your crystal ball. It’s broken. I’d recommend a good used 8-ball. “It is certain”.
Seriously though. Prices for everything at so bat-shit-out-of-whack right now.

I’m shocked someone would pay that much for a 2008. Based on this mine would go in the 40s, which is also surprising considering I paid 50 for it and have had it 4 years put 31k miles on it.

That seems like silly money to me - especially without much maintenance history or an oil analysis.
However, it looks like there were 3 bidders right up to the end, two of which at least have a fair amount of BaT experience, so who knows?
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

It’s worth that because someone was willing to pay that.
I personally think the whole rod bearing issue is over blown. To me it seems like it’s because the car was driven hard without being warm.

Not only that, but there were a couple of someones right behind the buyer, so it’s hard to argue that it’s not worth it . I’m just surprised.
From what I’ve heard, yes, the rod bearing issue is overblown - but I’d still just want an oil analysis to plunk down $35k. Then again, I’ve only bought 1 used car in my life that was over $2,500.

I’m trying to sell everything and sit on the cash and wait for the next car-Armageddon-price-crash for reasons like that...

Carmax offered me 29k for mine last December, a lot more than I was expecting.

Got to love BAT comments.
‘ This is a wonderful sounding V8 that screams through the gears…sounds like a 1950’s Singer sewing machine. Fantastic road trip car with a full back seat, ample trunk space and an excellent sound system. Plus its super smooth on the road.”
No..NO! It does not sound like a sewi ng machine. In fact that’s probably the last thing I would ever com pare the S65 too.

You really can’t even trust that. There was a guy on Bimmerforums that had a Blackstone test done, and passed with flying colors. Hi s started knocking bef ore the next oil change was due.
