I am selling my stunning E92 M3, this is an Edition model (£2,5k premium over standard M3) finished in the rare Individual Dakar Yellow, only 250 made in this colour.

I have never had a negative comment in the 1.5 years of ownership and it's a real head turner. This particular car comes with an impressive spec, has covered 23k miles and comes with full BMW main dealer history, including the all important 1200 mile running in service. (9k miles until next service).

Only one previous owner.

Quite a few differences, to start with only 250 were made in each fo the 3 colours (White, Monte Carlo Blue and Dakar), although only the later two were new colours in the M3 range.

Mine has yellow piping through the front seats, yellow stitching on the black leather, gloss black bonnet vents and kidney grills, 10mm lower suspension, gloass black alloys, edtion kick plates.

I'm sure there are other subtle styling changes too other than those above.

Probably a non M 3 series, either a 335i or 335d and a caterham for fun days in the summer...

So true, it's a slow market in the UK, limited edition though only 250 made, I think the brits are a little shy with colours, call us boring!

Im having the same issue selling my Evolution here in the states as well. but hopefully I will get a good offer soon. still good luck with the sale

OK Lads - Really need it sold, starting new job on 12th December and it will just sit outside a train station getting a 4 mile each way drive (not even enough to warm up properly)..

So, I'm going down the two car route, a cheap car to part at the train station, will consider diesels etc.. and a Caterham Superlight K Series or R300 as my toy.

Price now reduced to £35,995.00
Piston Heads Add..

I think the colour may put off quite a few buyers. Have you considered having it wrapped ?

Can't post on the m3cutters forum (not enough posts) but noticed you had received a cash price from the trade I know this is bit less than your after but as many people have already said used Car Prices seem to be in free fall so may be worth considering as I don't think things will get much better next year and dealing with the trade you usually get a trouble free sale, although as you know I do like the Dakar edition and if your circumstances mean your in a position to keep it I would hang on enjoy the Car for even longer and hope things improve next year. You probably remember I sold my Car to Birds in July and after nearly 5 Months he still has it for sale although I do feel he asked too much to start with and now will be lucky to get what they paid me for it. Problem with the Dakar Edition is a lot of people love the Colour but few are brave enough to live with it so you probably have less than 10% of the M3 Market that will actually buy your Car GLWTS.

I know, it's a tough one, the offer was a month ago so I'm sure it will be a touch less now. the colour is marmite but as you know in the flesh it's awesome, especially with all the black accents and roof.

I'm happy to do a part ex on a diesel and Caterham R300 - so i'm goign to leave it at this price for a bit and see how it goes. Seen yours up at Birds and he knocked off £2k to get it down to £42.5k, it's a bit newer than mine with less miles, but still £7k more.

I'm going to call around a few dealers that have diesels for sale and see if I can do a deal....

[davyk31]

What level was the trade offer? I assume the diesel you want to buy is a cheaper car and in that situation its always hard trading a more expensive car against a cheaper one. The fact its an M3 in todays market will just make them more wary. If the current trade offer is anywhere near acceptable I would go for it as the monthly drop in Glasses on an M3 must be pretty big and likely to get bigger in the early part of next year.
