Hi Roger,

Well, 156,000km is not mega-mileage for an 11-year-old 316i and it also depends on whether it was an entry-spec ES or a slightly more luxurious SE model, but your car would ordinarily be worth about €3,500-€4,500.

However, an existing fault with the gearbox, no matter how minor, will undoubtedly put some buyers off, so it’s more likely that you’re only going to realise about €3,000 for it – unless you can get the fault fixed prior to selling.
