Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage.

FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one with all the good bits done already? Obviously, if its not worth anything, ill just stick it in the barn until the M3 bankrupts me ;)

hmmm, when you have an idea on value (or most importantly what you'd want for it), drop me a line... we're in the process of moving house so the LY is almost definitely going, strangely tempted by a 3rd Trophy and some cash in the bank 8)

Better off breaking it.
Dibs on Bonnet! :wink:

If i broke it, it would only be selling the modified parts, with a view to rebuilding again in the future. Hell i might even bosh some cup seats in it & use it to commute ...

And yes, its been at JMS for the past 2 weeks. its my 2nd storage area :lol:

So, what is it worth, trying to do some budgeting here people ;)

Blimey, that's someone doing nearly 6,000 miles a week in 12 months. Whoever had it from new must have been a serious road pounding sales rep. That or they loved it so much they hardly slept and drove it continually.

I'd keep it if possible, some the prices I've seen average milage cars go for lately it seems they're giving them away.

Maybe put few standard stuff back on if you can make a profit in selling them and putting the original parts on?

Possibly. The mileage is practically a novelty in itself! :lol:

Its obviously been well looked after to get this far so there will be someone who isn't bothered by such high miles.

Stick it up for £5k and if no takers keep it. :D

Been thinking of selling 474 for a while now Gareth, don't think you'll have any cash to bank but give me a shout if you are interested.
