Just looked at the new Roundel from the NA BMW Car Club. There was a 2009 with 1,500 miles for $50k. It's a shame as he likely paid more and had to pay for storage for all these years!

With only 12,000 miles I don't think rod bearings are a concern yet ...
In my opinion this car will have a new owner by the weekend!

Sounds like a screaming buy, especially if it's a ZCP car. Great spec too, LMB is a hot color on E92s.

I've been watching the market closely for over a year and I think we are near the bottom of the depreciation curve for now. There seems to be two markets - the low mileage ZCP cars are flat or appreciating slightly, while there's much less interest in the non-Comp, higher mileage examples.

In my opinion, the only thing that would cause major depreciation on a car like the one you're considering would be a substantial downturn in the overall economy.
