B4 Convertible #079 - Coming Soon

[Avtar]

Hi All,
So I have decided, probably around Spring time, to sell my B4 Convertible #079 after almost 3 years. I am waiting for the weather to improve so that I can give it a proper detail as it was last detailed and ceramic Coated in August 2021. I also need to sort a couple of minor wheel scuffs and ensure I have a year’s MOT, current MOT is until 02/05/2024 . The reason for the sale is that I now want a B5, or ideally a B7.

I purchased the car in April 2021 with a mileage of 44,602 and it currently has 51200, it will see some light usage over the coming months. I has the Alpina COC Certificate and is ULEZ exempt.

The car has had 3 previous owners and was Sytners Press car.

It also has the extended BMW Warranty with an excess of £250, it is on Direct Debit and I understand that it can be taken on by the new owner if they so wish.

Details:

• First Registered 25/04/2016
• Metallic Imperial Blue Xirallic
• Oyster Dakota Leather
• Alpina Classic 20” Wheels

Optional Equipment

• Adaptive Suspension
• Air Collar (£360)
• Air Conditioning with extended features

During my ownership I have done the following:

• Added Silver Alpina Decals (£356 + £150 fitting)
• Installed Thinkware U100 4K Dash Cam (with a battery backup) (£554)
• New rear boot struts
• Changed both rear quarter rubber window seals. (One needed changing and did the other as a precaution) (£244)
• It also comes with BMW rubber mats

Maintenance

Last Service was Oil, Microfilter & Brake Fluid on 17/06/2022

The Vehicle Status shows the following:

• Brake Fluid 06/2024
• Engine Oil 06/2024
• Front Brake Pads 10000 miles
• Rear Brake Pads 41000 miles

The issue is that I need assistance with is the valuation, the nearest comparison I have is the Coupe B4 #139 which had 49K and was advertised for £29900. However, I am not sure if the Convertible would carry a premium or not?

Thanks in advance

There aren’t many b5’s around at the moment, I would contact Alex at Nottingham and see if he knows of any that might be coming to the market.

You are correct, however, I am hoping that by the time I sell there will be, if not I am happy to wait until one comes along as I have the B3S rolling restoration to keep me going.

When I was after the B4 I just waited until one appeared and then jumped on it as I had the funds.
