Testing the water: may be selling my 440i GC

This isn’t an official 'For Sale' ad. However, my circumstances have changed and I may be selling my 440i Gran Coupe with MPPSK in the near future so I thought I’d test the water on here and elsewhere first to gauge interest.

It’s a 440i GC LCI, first registered at the end of Nov ’17 and on a 67 plate. It’s in very good condition and is currently showing just over 8,000 miles. It was professional detailed when new and has a ceramic coating.
I’m looking for £32,500. PM me if interested.

Here’s the spec
  • Carbon Black
  • Ivory White Dakota leather with Carbon Aluminium trim
Factory fit options:
  • M Sport Plus package, with 704M 19" wheels
  • Adaptive M Sport suspension
  • Icon Adaptive LED headlights, plus LED foglights
  • Folding anti-dazzle exterior mirrors
  • Extended storage
  • Digital cockpit
  • Speed limit display
Options fitted since new:
  • M Performance Power and Sound Kit, installed by Coopers Reading
  • M Performance rear diffuser

Very nice car, good luck with the sale if you decide to go through with it! What will the replacement be or is that yet to be determined?

Sorry to hear you might be leaving the (very exclusive) carbon black 440i GC club. Good luck with the sale if you go ahead, and hope the change of circumstances works out all for the best

Good luck with sale - but is it not possible to get a pre reg. 340i shadow for less than £30k currently?

Possibly, I don't know, but mine is a lot more lovely
Seems sensibly priced looking at the BMW AUC site and having got a few valuations

Stick it on tootle and see what you get. That's what I did with the 340 and basically got all my deposit back I put in as equity which I would have lost if it had gone to full term on the pcp. What ever bids you get most will go higher.

No need to. Your missus shares all your intimate secrets with me

Typical, isn't it!? You try to put out some perfectly innocent feelers on selling your car and within no time, you get accused of having some vile STD by Herr whatever his name is Lobb. Marvellous

Swap for my sit on lawnmower? It has 'M' hedges on it
Has it got speed limit display? A must for me, with my penchant for points

Give you a rough idea on price, this guy is selling his 340i for £23k

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1549722

But has done more miles and is 6 months older.

Yeh, prices vary enormously. That guy must be desperate to sell.
There was a lightly used 440i for sale on AT recently with a few more M Perf bits than mine, which was on at £34k

I paid 33.5k for my 440i GC, everything in extras except digital dash and adaptive cruise, 5k miles and 8 months old, it was AUC

I think a 340i will also be a fair bit lower in value than a 440i, especially as we are in the run out phase for the 3.

I havent found this to be the case.
I’ve been looking for an f31 340i on the auc site for a few weeks and have now extended the search to a 440i auc purely because there are more of them, they’re cheaper like for like and they come with more things as standard.

I was just thinking of the saloon, rather than tourer. Should have been clearer.

Ah sorry yes you’re right, there are some cracking deals on the f30 to be had and the market seems to be flooded with both used and new alike!
