It depends. For the E92, most definitely. For the E90 which is a much rarer car, especially with a 6MT, slicktop, ZCP for example, the market is much higher. Our cars are entering that "provenance zone" soon where treatment since new (i.e. low mileage, all records of excessive care, garaged 24/7, never in bad weather, etc) will become increasingly valued in the market.

Agree with above post. Looks like E92 has dropped more in value than E90, which are harder to come across on the resale market. I paid a premium for mine, and 4 months later there has still been no sign of one on the market out here.

Yes, prices in the low 30's are more common. The above poster is correct that well-maintained cars are starting to carry a premium. I was pretty happy with my purchase because the car was basically in brand new condition and I was able to get it for market value-ish. It's unheard of for something with 50k miles and 5 years old. Bought it from a female in her early 50's who didn't let it see rain for the first 3 years of its life. Every bolt and nut on the car around suspension, brakes, etc. is still factory silver color. No oxidation. Crazy good condition. The car was 5x better in person than online.


When purchased: October 2016

New owner of my car posted it few weeks ago.

Prices definitely dropped a LOT from summer. I had a wholesale offer for it in September which was higher than what I sold it for in December private party.

Right now is winter so of course prices dropped, but they are NOT going to increase in May so we will be seeing a lot of cars for under $30K soon enough.

Saw the pic of your car, nice! I'm pretty sure it's an individual frozen white color, with ZCP comp package! Fully loaded! Good price.

I basically got the same car a month ago without the frozen paint for $42,998 (pretax, so if your price was with tax, you stole that car).

Thanks! I ended up paying pretty close to $45K after haggling a bit. I love the color and it was actually a bit of a surprise because it was really dusty when I first went to see it and just said "white" everywhere so I assumed it was alpine. When I saw it washed I was very pleasantly surprised. It's actually not frozen white, its more of a pearl white metallic. Only bad thing is that I'm a little scared about getting any new body parts because I don't think paint shops will be able to match the mineral white well.

Also, congrats on your new M3!

Here's the color difference between Alpine and Mineral.

Thank you for clarifying. Plz don't be bothered by my OCD needs to know lol, but I'm assuming it was $45k pretax (which is still an amazing price). I'd be kicking myself knowing I got ripped off if a similar car was sold for cheaper earlier lol ($45k after tax).

I ended up paying ~$46,xxx after tax, dealer fees, reg, etc. Not being unspecific for any other reason than that I cant remember. I think if I lived in a market that was less "hot" for these cars I could've done better, but its very difficult in Miami.

Don't get greedy mang! I paid that much in early December in cold weather / market Chicago for a car with 16,000 miles! I did have 7 months' warranty left, and had ZCP comp package and premium sound, but looking at the car in your profile you likely had them too. And simar cars are going for at least that much if you look around now.

Anyway, I'm done ranting now. Just enjoy the ride I will!

Hello all. I finally picked up the car that I have been working on obtaining since August. It was one of very few light colored E90 6MT ZCP's I had seen for sale since August, and it happened to be local.

The seller was kind enough to hold it for me when I had an unexpected expense requiring me to back out initially. He said he wanted it to go to "a good home". I'm glad I made the right first impression.

When purchased: 1/4/16
Year and Model: 2011 E90 (Built 10/28/11)
Miles: 60K
Options: ZCP, every option I am aware of except for extended leather
Transmission: 6MT
Price: $35,500

Interesting to see private sales of E90s going for a much higher premium than BMW dealerships are selling them for.

I was thinking the same thing.

I am in the process of buying a 11 zcp 6mt private party and it's a little more than some others I have seen online at various used car dealerships. Some are actually quite low, but those worry me for some reason.

Confused.

One driving factory is rarity. When I was searching for my 2011 E90 M3 4-5 years ago now, I was astounded by the neglected condition of many cars I came across (and these were only 2 years old at the time). Actually one 2010 M3 at a dealership with only 30k miles on it, looked as if it had lived 5 lifetimes already. Finding a pristine, garaged, never driven in bad weather, presents as new E90 M3 with a slicktop and 6MT was a huge challenge even four years back. I finally found one with 16k miles and bought it right away.

Fast forward to today and finding a well-cared for, one owner, garaged, low mileage 2011 E90 M3 with a 6MT is a very difficult thing to do in today's market. Total 2011 E90 M3 imported is only 2170 cars, and only about 650 of those are 6MT.

Finding that very well-cared for low mileage 2011 6MT sedan out of the 650 is very difficult in today's market.

I certainly noticed that when I was car shopping. Seemed like E92's and DCT's were fairly easy to find, but I had a particular combination of characteristics on my wish list that proved to be elusive (I read somewhere that only ~335 E90 6MT ZCP's were shipped to the US).

I even flew out of state to drive a couple (non ZCP's), which turned out to be in rougher shape than I was hoping for. It was certainly a strike of luck to find the right car in the next town over.

I shopped for about 6 months in total, following autotrader, ebay, car gurus, and forum classifieds, and only saw 3-4 cars for sale meeting my ideal specs the entire time.

The price I paid was on par or even a little lower than what the other comparable cars were going for. I feel very lucky that I nabbed one before they all got beat up. It is everything that I hoped it would be.

I probably wouldn't sell for less than $38500 net to seller.
