That’s a stunning looking B3, love the colour combination. An asking price might help get some serious interest.

I often wondered what happened to this B3S, I test drove it 14 years ago and have not seen it since.

The owner wanted too much for it so I bought a B3S Cab instead

[Rav]

PM'd - what build number is this please?

[B10BRW]

No. 124

[Rav]

Thanks - I can firmly say that I am out priced against the figures added to the original post.

[Bob]

Personally I would say that is very realistically priced based on the apparent condition and spec. Good luck.

Very nice GLWTS

I love it, especially the colour combination and I hope it goes to somebody who will appreciate it.

I won't comment on the price other than to say that recent E46 Alpina performance at auctions hasn't been great. But then they were all coupes which compete with the M3 of the era (whether we think they should or not). And then there was the recent B3S saloon that made £21k which was a surprise for us all I think, even with the low 40k miles. (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=24062)

Hi All,

Stumbled upon this car today at the classic and restoration show today and quite liked it so I'll be having a go when it's up for auction later today. I never set out to purchase a B3 of this era but I just thought it seems a lovely car and provided it comes at the right money it could be a heap of fun. I've been doing as much research as possible this evening but gauging values is proving to be rather difficult with how rare they are. Would love to hear your opinions on what you would consider a fair price and then anything else I should be aware of going into the sale. TIA and hope to be joining the owners club soon!

Josh

Hello there

I am very new to B3 ownership and recently purchased a 2001 Coupe which I am currently enjoying in Spain at the moment.

I faced a similar dilemma to yourself.

My suggestion is if it pulls at your heart strings then go for it and keep the car as original visually and mechanically and find a good specialist to look after and advise.

BMR in Turners Hill, Sussex seem to have huge knowledge on these cars.

Enjoy and good luck !

I see it went for just under £13K in the end - did you get it?
