BMW E53 4.8is Buying Advise

[Jag530isport]

Hi guys

I'm looking at buying another 4.8is use to have one a couple of years ago. I have the following questions:

What is one worth which has below 60k on the clock?
Did they ever do a 4.8is as an exclusive edition I thought the exclusive only came in a late diesel?
Do you think they are a good investment for the future?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Tidy examples wanting for little sub 60k miles ypically from £8k...this based on me studying  classifieds for years and speaking to various òwners/sellers. I came.close to buying a 4.8is earlier this year 2 owner, 59k fbmwsh, extendable bmw mondial warranty. Mature owner £7250 if I recall correctly ...Rare find.

Exclusive and Sport Exclusives were not available on 4.8is

I would buy to enjoy .....not as an investment. If you find a car with under 50k miles, price may be 20% or more over cars with say 70-90k but it will drop value if you take it over say 60k. Asking prices and real condition q for seemingly similar cars can vary quite widely. Not as rare as 4.6is.

Was it this one you were talking about by any chance?

Came up on my search for a 4.4/4.8 too.

Not sure if you are talking to me or OP but the car I was looking at was far cheaper

The OP as no doubt the car you were looking at is long gone if it was months ago

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes that's the one he's sold it now but as much as it was a very nice car by the sounds of it I felt it was overpriced.  I've had a 4.8is a couple of years ago which was in Estoril blue and was mag featured in BMW Car Mag a couple of years ago.  I just thought I would have been looking at the £8k mark
