Yea, seems to have a few things working against it... miles, not a lot of options, damage on carfax. Still a 6MT wagon though, so curious to see if there’s a lot of last minute activity.

No NAV on an E9x is neutral to positive value wise. And probably very positive given the kind of buyer out there for an E91 6MT.

Miles aren't *that* high. The Carfax isn't great, of course. But still. For a while, E91s were pricing neck and neck with M3s.

93k miles is "a ton?"

If these things drove well maybe I could understand the insane pricing but they don't, so I don't. Though... no iDrive is a huge bonus on this one.

For a nine year old car, that has had me scratching my head, too. I'd go as far as saying it's nearly low-mileage.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe it would be seen as high mileage in the context of unique and uncommon BaT cars?

That is...more than I can spend.
Sold for $126,000.

Or less!

Or pay a little more for a really nice GT3.

Yes it’s hard to make the value proposition work here.

i have definitely been regretting not buying a 996 GT3 back when really nice ones in great colors were going for $40k. yeah, it’s a little ugly, but the GT3 is still a good car.
