I have a 1990 M3. Completely standard car, just over 100,000 km, cloth interior, FSH, 2 owners (I've owned it since '96), pretty much mint condition. No rust on scuttle panel (or anywhere else)
Thinking about selling it as i work overseas and just doesn't get used much.
Totally out of touch with values and just wondering what would be a realistic price ?

If it's as you describe and has, then I would put it up at £20K.

It is a sellers market for these cars - The right price will sell quickly otherwise might take a while to sell. The market for these cars has a number of speculators.

I just sold mine for the money I wanted for it and sold and driven away within 5hrs of the advert going live - They couldn't leave quick enough.

I am happy, the car became a burden to me emotionally - as a second car was not getting used, lost the use of a garage, so open to the elements, insurance, tax, upkeep etc.

I had the car since 1999 and had a lot of fun and admirers a plenty.

Perhaps one day I will join the M family again.

I agree the prices in recent years have rocketed. I think somewhere between £18-£20k is the area you should be looking at.

I have one similar to yours (bit higher miles) but would agree that something coming towards £20K is where you want to be looking.
 
Obviously, there are a number of "traders" in the market looking for a bargain. They would not pay that sort of figure because that is about where they would look to be selling it.

It was and was back up for sale a week later, only looking for £13K. I have wondered if there has been much interest and how many hours they have spent on dealing with potential buyers, the number of test drives etc. I know one thing, the seller will not drop the price.
