I sold mine today with just under 32k km. What a bittersweet day. I'll miss it, but now have time to think about what's next.
Smaller. Perhaps a Golf R or S3.

Saw it's been listed for a while. Did you get a good price for it? Definitely one of the best kept on the market! Congrats anyway!2018 BMW 125i M Sport |AlpineWhite|719M JetBlack|BlackLeather |ComfortPackage|Sunroof|WirelessCharging

Thanks R36. I did ok. Not too far from where it was listed. Did get heaps of lowball offers though. First serious buyer bought it.

That's a gorgeous R36. They look great in white and that looks clean as.
I can thoroughly recommend an A45 as a replacement
I'm not looking forward to selling my R36 and that won't be for a couple of years - hopefully it'll be traded for a B8 version, if such a thing is ever made.R36 =

Ha! I was one of the guys that was trying to low-ball you... sorry man, just have a budget to work within, but you were right, those are some serious low ks... at least I didn't actually offer you a low price, I just asked how negotiable you were
.. glad you sold it and got a reasonable price for it too.
I ended up buying something (am still in the process) with almost three times as many kms but for 10k less....:R36 MY10.5::Wagon::Biscay Blue::Adaptive Dampers::Sunroof::Wheels:.Comment

Glad to hear that you found the right car for you Felix.
The funniest low-ball was the guy who was serious with his offer of $25k. We also of course had the Nigerian mine worker without phone but with credit card who was purchasing for his newly graduated son...
For those with a good R36 to sell but not in a rush, there are buyers who will pay well above "book value". I took my time and found one.

I actually paid $25K for mine =) But it's a 2008 with 70K km - it came with all extras except for Dynaudio (now retrofitted) and is in quite good condition too. No way I'd sell it for $25K unless I was desperate for $$.Originally posted by Passat R36 View Post

I was also looking when yours was listed, in the end I preferred another one very similar higher spec but more km's for a steal under 35k, but I hardballed the seller and he had a timing issue on his end to persuade him. I wouldn't sell it for the same amount I bought it for, that's for sure. 25k is a hugely unreasonable offer, to say the least! Was the guy actually serious or just screwing you about?Comment

You did well Jakeys and your car looks terrific as well! Enjoy....
I really do think the $25k guy was serious.CR Audi RS3

Thanks mate! He's an idiot then, the market in no way, shape or form supports that estimation, any way you spin it. I would say based on the research I did for mine, that's even less than dealer trade in for yours, which is what I would use if I intended to lowball someone. I offered way more than that for my initial offer and I still felt like it was pushing lowball (Although I fully intended to negotiate up) and might offend the seller.Originally posted by 2muchcoffeeman View Post
Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the next car. I initially considered the Mk. 7 Golf R with options when I was looking at spending a bit more, and I did look at the S3 although it was out of my budget. I found the two to be a bit of a hard choice, but my personal opinion was that I'd rather the Golf, although without having driven the S3. Sticking with white?Comment

I do like white Jakeys.
Not sure yet. I'n not in any rush whatsoever so I'll look at a few, drive a few. Even an S1 might be fun...CR Audi RS3
