I want to buy a BMW M Sport at auction - what time of year will I get the best price?

I was just wondering how much a BMW 320d M Sport 2008/58 would cost at auction? Also, which are the best BCA auctions to go to? I've called BCA and the guide price seems high. From what I've read on your prices they sold for they go for a lot cheaper. Is there a time of year I should wait to get the best deal?

See auction reports at HJUK. Prices have dropped quite heavily in the last month in anticipation of the budget. They may or may not drop further after 22 June. I think they probably will.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
