Right price for a used M4 GTS

[786]

Low-mid $70s retail ask seems appropriate. At $90k they are pricing it like the immaculate sub-3k mile cars.

For example, just got this in my email

This one has the steering wheel that I want... eventually.

Seems like a nicely sorted car.

What's the story on that steering wheel?

Are those shift lights?

Semi-current wholesale pricing, for those interested.

For reference, the BMW Rockville car has an estimated wholesale value of $74,000. But the data points are obviously quite limited.

thanks, so that white 12k mile car should be low-mid $70s retail if auction is $66

No, it would be $74,000 wholesale.

Remember, used car prices tanked in Mar/Apr/May. The value algorithm Manheim uses pretty much excludes those cars in the $60k range and is weighting the most recent 3 sales more heavily.

See below for the estimated wholesale value of the BMW Rockville car ($74k). Manheim estimates retail value at $83,600 (estimated range of $77,700 - $91,000).

[786]

Ah, ok understood. That's interesting. $83k is still more than I paid for my 3k mile car.

These steering wheels are wonderful. I have two of them in my E90 and E92. You can set the shift lights to whatever you want and they're so so clear to see in your peripheral vision

[786]

Nice, I’m definitely getting one.

Be sure to read up before buying it... many threads of people having issue with them overheating and then lights not working. Apparently they go back to normal after they cool down but pretty much rendered useless while you actually need them. I used to ogle over this thing but never got it due to negative feedback.

I can't speak to the F8X wheel, but on the E9X forum there are tons of posts about this wheel having all kinds of problems, not keeping memory after turning off, not getting rpms, etc etc.
Those are all install issues. Both of mine work perfectly to the point I did a little DIY of how to wire it up.

Edit: I've had one wheel for 5 years and the other for 3 years. Both work perfectly when wired correctly

Thanks a lot for the heads up, I assumed these worked as advertised. Will look into it.

Ok, I’ll have it professionally installed so if it’s just install issues should be ok. If there is some inherent problem with the wheel that’s a different story. Please post your diy if you still have it. Thanks!

Looks like the Rockville one just sold to a BMWCCA member, from a source, I believe they did sell it for 89k. I wonder how actual sale prices affect the market

Just got a finance statement from BMW FS for the car I didn't buy from BMW of Akron (bc they reneged on our signed deal)...

that's surprising if true.
