So Jan and Paul are now officially the most stupid people in Scotland!
I'm sure they will thank you for that Andrew, when they realise!

Just noticed the reg 'RBD', reads 'robbed', they sure have been!

God....I hope they don't join here. That could be awkward...

If they have paid circa £10K for a top notch 2.8 in the best colour, think its not unreasonable.

It was up for £20k. I doubt they got it half price.

Not necessarily so ...

• going by the picture it looked like a lot of money was spent to make it pristine and I'm sure Eastern wouldn't risk their reputation on a poor quality car
• maybe they're hoping it will be a future classic and increase in value ~ who knows?
• they're going to be in a Z3 ~ think of the enjoyment they'll get from driving it

Think it was said to be listed at £13K on the website?

It’ll be rusty again by the time it’s worth what they payed……

 

[t-tony]

Someone posted a picture of it with a £19,995 price tag in the windscreen.

Tony.

I wonder if I can get £20,000 for my 2.8

Not in Norfolk, but Mansfield?

Just under 20k

 

[Ianmc]

(S reg/Oxford Green/2.8?) on my local dealer's website for £13k

As stated

Hi Everyone!

So the all-seeing algorithm brought me here and I'm happy it did, because I have to correct a serious factual error in this thread:

Only one of us is officially the most stupid person in Scotland: the car was a present

(PS I hope Eastern BMW continue to restore modern classic BMW's like this very much loved piece of automotive art)

Condition Based Servicing and very low usage?

We do have a habit of talking down the value of our cars..and then wonder why they are not appreciating. The FB page is the worst for it. Prices on the continent are generally much higher and probably where ours should be.

Likely down to the sh1t weather, sh1t roads and sh1t economy on this sh1tty little island we call home. Merry Christmas.

About 50mil potential buyers for a RHD car VS mostly the rest of the world for a LHD one define the market value.
Also rust, ulez, taxes...
