I've been obsessively following BAT lately, bidding opportunistically... non-ZCPs aren't doing bad, either. A recent TiSi went for close to $40K w/ fees (albeit 1 owner, low miles): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-m3-coupe-109/

Prices are going through the roof right now, it's really making me debate whether or not to drive my 110k mile 2003 M3 right now. I love it too much haha, gotta drive this baby.

I have a 1/600ish 2005 zcp car... it has 139k on it. I'm doing my best to restore it entirely with whatever is still available from bmw. kind of a lost cause due to the mileage...

I'm glad I bought it when I did fire what I paid for it.

With higher mileage cars it's all about the condition and maintenance once over 100k miles. There are 125k mile cars in better condition than some 80k cars. A well maintained ZCP with high mileage will still have a strong market value.

$25 k for a car with 179k miles. This was a $12k car all day long just a few years ago. Again good maintenance is key and money well spent.

Won't be long before we see the first $100k e46m quick on the heels of the e30.

That's crazy. I still have my doubts that the E46 M3 should reach E30 M3 money, but who knows what this crazy market is doing.

It's also an SMG conversion with riced out angel eyes.
Guaranteed it's been resprayed also.

It makes me feel better about paying 19k for mine.

Question regarding respray's..

Are they considered a negative thing? Or a plus

resprays to me are considered negatives.
but honestly it would ultimately depend on the finished product.
I've seen a LOT of cars covered in over spray, orange peel, bubbles, inconsistent depth, waves, color variance, etc etc.

a respray is rarely of the quality you get from the factory unless you spend major cash.

usually it's a clear indicator that the car was crashed and repaired... people repair their cars in their garage, have a friend spray it, and ta-da, clean Carfax.

Ahh, okay - thanks for clarifying!

It has been on the back of my mind lately because I was considering getting a full respray later down the road. In my case, (not to hype my own car up by any means) but my e46 is very mint and a proper respray would it get it close to being virtually flawless. But if potential buyers would find this a negative thing later down the road then maybe I just won't do it! Plus that would save me a few thousand any way haha.

The flaws in my paint are really only seen from very up close, no dents, just tiny chips in the front from 100k miles and being on the road.

Anyway, I completely understand now I think. If you can find the right place to do a re-spray as good as OEM without those defects imagine it is a benefit. But more than likely resprays aren't that great and the end result isn't as good so this could potentially hurt yourself later if not done right.

that last paragraph is my exact thoughts on it.
my cars paint is beyond fucked, the previous owner tailgated the shit out if every gravel truck on the road. it looks dirty, even when it's clean there are so many rock chips.

I would need to tear the car down to metal and have it redone. but that's going to cost probably $10k... maybe the very last thing I do to this thing before I die. lol

This one came in at $48k plus 5% fee so bought for $50,400.
It was held back by small cosmetic issues like the rubber seals and a few paint issues, the interior wasn't perfect either.

That last one was from a very legit seller, always has clean BMWs.

The steady appreciation of manual M cars has been amazing. Never expected my cars would be part of my eventual retirement plan. Sounds crazy but I don't have to daily and what will prices be like in 5 years?
