Wanted an opinion on value range for this car.
2006 330i, 118k miles, 6sp. man, sport, premium and cold weather package. Has E90 M3 19” wheels and maintenance is fully up to date. New ofhg, vcg and oil pan gasket. Front head bolts addressed (the aluminum ones that break were replaced). No leaks, runs strong. Grey with black interior.
Extremely clean car overall.
It’s a friends car I’m probably going to buy.

Thanks.

I did that. Wondering if worth more since it’s a 6sp with sport package. Not as common… maybe not.

KBB value will be way off from what the market dictates. IMO that's an 8-9k car

It is worth more if you find the right person to buy it. I searched all over for a 330i 6MT sport pkg, finally settled on a 325i 6MT with sport pkg and 187k miles and needing a bunch of suspension work. I paid more than I should have for it ($4500), then (of course) found a even higher mileage 330i needing the same kinds of service and paid a couple hundred more for that. The 6MT will sell it to SOMEONE for whatever you're asking, you just need to find someone who won't accept a substitute.

6 to 7k unless extraordinary. By extraordinary I mean no mods, paint work, no or little salt exposure, near perfect paint and interior.

Exactly the range for what I paid for my 330i last year with nearly similar specs. Sport package, premium, cold weather, iDrive, Bluetooth, 135K miles with fresh oil pan gasket, OFHG, and valve cover gasket, interior and exterior nearly perfect, CA car it's entire life and I'm the third owner - zero rust or any other defect underneath. My front wheels were curb rashed (I got new ones) and both front and rear bumpers had nasty chips/cracks from city parking so I replaced those. I paid slightly more than I wanted to, but way less than a new car and it's way better than any new car, at least without spending $60K (M2) and I got the exact car I wanted. So yeah I'm one of the buyers who had to have a 6MT and after looking at a lot of poorly maintained examples, I paid just slightly more than I wanted for the exact car I wanted, and I have zero regrets. I absolutely love this car.

$6000-7000 sounds like a fair price for an amazing car like a 330i 6MT.

It’s in incredible shape and mostly as you describe extraordinary.
Only “mod” are the M3 wheels.

Thanks all for the feedback.
