Current value of high mileage M3?

[jerzm3]

Hello Everyone,

I have been around for a while, yet removed from the forums for quite some time, as I am seeing by the new forum! More recently I have been contemplating selling my M3 and moving on. I love my car, when I take some spirited drive, it does put a smile on my face, pretty much amazed that the car still performs effortlessly for a 20 year old car!!! The biggest question is what would I ask for it if I were to sell it? I am a mechanic and owner of a small shop, so I do all my own work. I change my oil every 7,500 miles, using OEM TWS10w60 fluid and OEM filters. I use OEM everything for replacement parts. This car has been great to me. It left me stranded once in my 13 years of ownership, and that was when the fuel pump died. Here is a rundown of everything that I completed during my ownership:

2001 BMW M3 - Coupe, Manual, Sunroof, Non CW package, 197k miles.

Calico (Coated) Rod bearings - OEM bearing spun, and crank machined and replaced OEM bearings with Calico coated ones to remedy the factory flaw.
Clutch has been replaced
Rear subframe issue resolved under the settlement claim
Vanos solenoid pack replaced - Besian systems refurb unit
Unknown Brand of headers - no fitment issues, move cat converters to euro location, still present and functional
Status Gruppe full exhaust
Throttle Actuator replaced
Starter
Feal Coilovers

The car was fully disassembled and repainted in 2014 OEM Titanium Silber, front end would need repaint due to rock chips. Brand new OEM windshield was installed at this time.
ICONS carbon fiber front lip
ICONS carbon fiber rear diffuser

My issues are just cosmetic. The interior fabric is coming down. Window seals are starting to dry rot.

That is pretty much it. I would love to hear everyone's input. I am not dead set on selling, but If you were in my shoes, what would you ask for it?

​​​​​​​Thank you for your time.

Publilius Syrus: Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

I would start with looking at KBB, but as you have kept the car up and running with regular maintenance, say 20k? You will tend to have 2 type of buyers, ones that are looking for an all original car, or near original car and a modified car. The collectors tend to be the first group, while enthusiast tend to be in both. What can give you more leverage is the 6-speed manual transmission, that is what the enthusiast are looking for, collectors tend not to care as much if it is a SMG or regular manual.

The other thing to look out for is tire kickers, they just want to drive the car and beat on it for 20-30 minutes.

VANOS bulletproofed and subframe reinforced?
