Hi everyone,

I am trying to find out what is the wholesale pricing for a 2004 BMW 525i (E60, of course), if anyone can please help out.

If anyone has access to the Mannheim MMR report for this vehicle, I would be incredibly thankful if you could post the numbers here.

I appreciate any assistance.

You need to be more specific regarding current mileage, options, color and vehicle history if you want a honest opinion. If you have all of these details you could also get a relevant quote from KBB on your own.

I purchased my '04 E60 525i this past Feb with only 86.5K miles for $9.5K ($1K down) in perfect condition, clean CarFax and I am only the third owner. Do your research and good luck.


PS, Why do you suggest the Mannheim MMR report as it and KBB are irrelevant without mileage and details.

The manheim MMR report shows wholesale values for a specific car... i.e. the amount of money you can expect a dealership to buy the car for at the Manheim auction.

This is very different from the consumer-driven KBB values, which often are inflated compared to the wholesale market.

This information is useful in order to determine the "true" value of your car... the "retail value" of a car could be $10,000, but it's very possible the dealer picks it up wholesale for $5,500 and makes the rest in profit. The wholesale value could be considered the "true" value of the car.

That being said, if anyone out there has the MMR numbers for a 2004 525i I would be very appreciative

thanks again

How can their reports be more subjective concerning value for a certain make/model/year without specifics? You want to know the true value of a car, it is what someone is willing to pay for it. I have been at this for over 30yrs and I have never been proven wrong.


Good luck.
