Are these cars really going up that much in value?

[Johnd]

I was looking at a post yesterday for a 2005 convertible with 56K miles and the price was $27,500. I did a search and there are ones on here for almost 30K or more. Why so much all of a sudden

Let's see how are things in one year.

Yeah, I think part of it is just the used car market...well and new car market in general. If I search for used BMWs on craigslist, it's pretty barebones.

I checked out their websites and they have been flipping a lot of BMW's - they also broker cars. Just wondering how close to the asking price they are getting.. Taking mine in next week for new tires and to have the airbag recall done. Sad part is the tires only have 3K miles on them - but are date coded 2015 - it doesn't get driven much

Yes they are. Heck with randoms I see sometimes start offering me like 30k for the e46. I swear I might sell it if someone was crazy enough to buy it for 100k :rofl
