Such a fantastic car. Will be sold in no time. Just my luck I have a second child due in a month. Would love something like this!

Thanks its only advertised on M3cutters and M3 FB groups at present, seeing if it moves there before I put it on PH or Autotrader and have to deal with all the usual rift raft.....

Good price, I saw a similarly spec'd one go for over £20k. Shame it's not a manual though as otherwise I might have been tempted.

If it was manual would be 20k because as always manuals are worth more because more people prefer a track car to be a manual and a lot of people think SMG is some kind of nightmare, I actually prefer SMG to manual but that is just me. :)

Took the car into work today:

Are you going to replace it or just run the Clio? There's a lot to be said about small, lightweight FWD cars on track.

Going to sell that too, the Clio is great but for me being FWD half a day is enough, because it is simply too easy and there is less options so to speak in regards to handling and throwing it around. RWD to me is more fun and interesting on track.

The plan is to just keep the Ferrari and get a second much newer car, probably an Abarth 595 Comp or a Scirroco R so quite capable but much more a road car than a track car, if and when I do a track day I simply want to take the Ferrari. :)

Be interested to know how much you're letting that go for.

Going to advertise around 6.5k, simply because mechanically it is perfect having being fully restored within last 2000 miles, the only downside is there is some scratches on the paint some of which though have polished out quite well so not so noticeable ideally need paint to make perfect, hence pricing it about a thousand below a couple of others that are available or sold with similar miles/owners, if paint was perfect I feel 8k all day long with how rare they are becoming. I am sure for anyone wanting to store it that in 5 years time it will be well into and beyond 10k in value. :)
 
Its a 172 Cup isnt it? Sounds like about 2.5K too much to me in the current market even considering the work that has gone into it, but you might find an enthusiast buyer with a spare bob or two I suppose.

Anyone who spends 8K on one needs to see the quack.

Like I say, no rush, cheapest similar one mileage wise is 4k, so yeah I am a bit over, but at same time no particular rush or need to move it swiftly.

Only 145HP from the 2.0 lump though for some reason.

De-tuned, better lifespan, longer service intervals.

Oof blimey, I would have understand if it was like 30k miles, or a 182 Trophy. I think £5k-£5.5 would be the mark.

But of course with all things, with the right "enthusiast" someone would buy it at that price.


Interestingly, something that's just popped up on Pistonheads, a "remake" "172" in the form of a Dacia Sandero "RS"

Yep, something I can consider when I decide to advertise it. :)
 
Did not take long, a mate has taken the M3 from me, which is awesome as I shall still get to see it around.
Epic car but time to move on. :)
