In the real world I think you'd be lucky to get more than 8.5k px maybe 9.5k private
People always go low, where in fact prices seem to have stabilised and are fetching good money, especially for the later models. Low mileage example in mint condition I wouldnt take less than £10k p/x personally, £11-12k pte sale should be do able you just have to find a buyer.
With a forum like this im surprised we dont have more influence in the sale prices of used ST's. As with anything its subjective and only ever worth what someone is willing to pay for it (within reason!).

It all depends one what you are paying for the BM.
Assuming you get the BM for a reasonable (cheap) price I would say £10K.
As Gray says you you need to take at least £2K off the forecourt price (due to finance, servicing, hpi checks admin, VAT, profit etc) to get to what the car came into a dealer for so if they are selling for 12-13K, £10K seems right.
Good luck with the BM, I have one (118d m sport though

quite low tbh. but probably about right, we buy any car offered me £8,495 for mine friday, and its a 56 with 29k miles.
looks like u might have to just take the hit - especially paying all that out on petrol.

Hmm suppose so.
A mate has just told me I can go into my local Ford and sell them the car back, they might offer me more than BMW. Is this true? Didnt know you could do this, always thought you had to walk away with a deal on a new car then haha

If you able to sell the car private that is what I would be doing and try to get a couple of grand more towards another car,there is no way I would sell a 14500 mile ST for £8500

id probably try private first. try www.pistonheads.com, my mates always on there selling cars and they seem to go quick!
Could try ford, i always thought they only bought cars when u deal on another, but my local dealer actually puts an ad in the paper saying they will buy decent cars. when i sold my fiesta i nearly went down that route but px'd it anyway

Are you sure a 2002 Zafira wouldn't take your fancy!!!!!

I'm currently looking for an ST and have £8.5 cash plus the Zafa to trade.
Seem to be plenty to choose from at the moment, just a case of getting out there and finding the best possible price.
I have to say Trist, yours is a beaut!

If I had the time to sell my privately, you could have have the £10.5 from me

Good luck with it, and don't rush, I'm sure the right deal will come along for you.

How do I go about this then, as I could put the ST up for 12k say on piston and it sells before I sort out a deal and finance on my new car. Where do I stand, is it a case of hopefully the buyer is understanding etc

Shes immaculate, not a mark on anything. I was lucky the previous owner never used it, so it was like new when I brought it.
