E92 B3 BiTurbo #137
Looks nice in Alpina Blue with the beige and wood interior. Not much detail on spec and at 100k, the Â£15k asking price is a bit high for a private sale.

This was for sale privately around 63k then sytner had it at silly money I think it went circa 18k so few miles added since

I thought this was the one Sytners had for sale earlier this year (around July) but that was being advertised at 67k so assuming the mileage is correct, 30k+ in 2.5mths means it probably can't be.

Last ad i saw from Sytners had it at Â£17.5k and that ad disappeared around mid-July.

That's the one I was thinking too it was very similar interior

I wonder if the Sytner one was actually #109 which has platinum merino leather. It also looks like that is a 58-plate (which i think Sytner's might have been) rather than an 08

Looks like this was the previous keeper, before Sytners sold it, since that thread was 2016.

So have we got the right car then Bob

Investigation over - correct car and correct owner - well done!

I bought the car from Sytner back in 2016. Put up for sale this morning for genuine personal reasons in a bit of a hurry so haven't been particularly thorough with the advert I'm afraid.

Any questions, please feel free to PM etc.

Pete

Thanks for confirming Pete and good luck with the sale.

Hap - so the Sytner car from earlier this year must have been a different one, #109 is my best guess.

Or #205

Just to add my two pence worth regarding price - I really see it as supply and demand with these cars. If somebody wants one in the specific colour / spec of mine then there isn't really much choice.

There are very few out there to buy and it's an amazing car for the money, especially considering some E46 versions are now creeping up in value to close to this price. I have the luxury of also owning an E46 B3s and although the older version is actually my favourite, the E92 feels significantly newer and more refined every time I get in it. I feel the newer model certainly demands a premium still over the E46 and it also feels like the E90- cars are pretty much bottoming out in price giving future owners a potential to not have any depreciation to have to worry about.
That all said - the price is the advertised price and I'm expecting that to be negotiable.

That is obviously just my opinion on the price and you are right that it's all about supply and demand, with your car's spec being fairly unique. But from what I have seen recently there has been a selection of E92 B3 BiTurbos available, a few have been available for a while, and the ones that have sold either had lower mileage or were quite a bit lower on price.
