Need help on value and venue for ZHP

[oldcarkook]

I inherited a 2018 ZHP manual; black with Dakota red leather interior. It has 33k miles. 100% dealer maintained and very clean.

I need to sell it and am looking for suggestions from this forum on value and venue. Right now, I'm thinking that I will list it on Bring-A-Trailer as they are site that has a lot of knowledgeable enthusiasts who will appreciate the ZHP for what it is. Being RWD the weenies that don't know how to drive snow locally (I'm in Boston) will likely be afraid of it. We all drove rear wheel drive cars exclusively for 6 decades before AWD and front drive came into production so its a non-issue to me, but people can be a project when they look at something great and then seize on one feature that they perceive to be negative.

So what are your thoughts about the value of this exceedingly clean ZHP and the best venue for this car to find it a new home?

Thanks in advance ZHP members for your help.

I've tried every way imaginable to upload photos for you with no luck. I cannot find any information in the forum that suggests there are limits to photos and sizes. I have taken images with an iPhone and every way I try I get "Upload failed" Sorry but you'll have to PM me your email address or give me instructions on how to add photos.

I like the BaT idea. You may want to check the F30 forum for similar cars, but I don’t think there’s a lot of those cars for sale.

Many of us upload to 3rd party hosts, then link it here. Many other forums have limits as to what you can upload to their servers, so this is what most do especially if content is to be cross-posted between forums.

You can use any host but common ones are flickr or imgur. I use imgur, for example if I wanted to upload the pic at this link: https://imgur.com/WjLymsH

Then I would just go to the link, copy the link address then type it out in the below format (get rid of the exclamation mark):

Which turns into this:

Not sure that posting photos of a car that has not been cleaned up is all that helpful, but here are the photos of the car:

Would appreciate your thoughts on the value of this car.

That is a gorgeous car. I’d think it has to be worth at least in the upper 20s (or much more) - IMO RWD and 6spd ZHP is very desirable in the enthusiast market.

EDIT: I’m wrong. I think mid-upper 30s to the right buyer.

Bring a Trailer comments will crush the non-stock items on the car - German, grill colors, roundel overlays. You should revert to the original items. F30 ZHPs were low-production, but many feel not that special as the features can be added to any car. Get busy cleaning under the hood! Good luck moving it.

I agree. Replace emblems and ditch those colored grill slats. Give it a good clean and list it up. It's a cool car for sure.

GLWS, cool car! but that red interior is gonna be a hard pass for many.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have new and all of the original roundels plus another full set of the black/red roundels and they will go with the car when it sells. The black/red roundels really changed the look of car and toned it down into stealth more than the blue/white, but to be true to the car's roots the plan is to return the original BMW blue/white roundels in all locations.

The car is buried in pollen as we are heavy in pollen season. On the 17th, it is going to be completely detailed and from there to 150 or detail images along with driving video(s). The car sure is a lot of fun to drive but I currently have six vehicles and can only drive one at a time and this one hopefully will have a nice new appreciative home.

Thanks to all who replied here.

I am working on all the suggestions - I put the original roundels back on it which was easy and the grille and license plate German flag colors were only colored tape. I plan to shoot images and video next week to then present the car on BaT. I will post a link here when I get to that point. It's a great car for the right enthusiast to be sure.
