My Ride: alpine white 535 E61
Model Year: 08
Default What's it worth?

I'm contemplating selling my E61. Lack of use and motivation in modding recently kinda Spurs this thought of selling it.. Although I have also thought of taking it to the next level new wheels and upgraded turbos...
But I'd like to get a feel of its value to help me decide..
08 535xi Alpine Weiss
Not an msport car but I bought the bumpers and etc.
Custom exhaust and IC
Blah blah ..
35xxx miles

If only you were closer (and if my wagon was in one piece) I would give you a ride in mine and it would be clear that you should keep it and seriously mod it.

My guess would be right around $20k without knowing more specifics.

Thanks Evan! Im not mad at your appraisal at all
My problem is focus I got the Swagn to a point then I moved on to other vehicles ..Plus I'm thinking about buying a house in 12 or so months a sale could help..

I have plans to go to a car show next weekend we will see how I feel about the old girl

You can put ~$5,000 into it and have a big comfortable wagon that can run with GTRs, F430s, and C6 Z06s, that might spice things up. From a practicality standpoint I don't see why you wouldn't keep the wagon for all the inevitable Home Depot and various project runs you will need to make with your new home. Unless you NEED to tow or haul dirt/rocks of other items which require a truck bed it is really hard to justify not keeping the wagon.

At least that is how I look at it.

Welll back in the daaay, I walked a c5 vette on stock turbos and jb4 G4 and meth with an e85 mix in the tank.
I love the utility of wagon and the surprise factor when it's fast .. My e61 never has and never will see homedepot I've got a truck and while my e61 turned into a garage queen I always kept a daily wagon . I built a stage 3 Allroad and a stage 2 b5 s4 . Also A v70r and currently have outback Xt and 335d (also a stage 3 candidate ) I love cool wagons currently on the hunt for a c5 s6.
So like I said focus is my problem .

Lol, that's quite the collection. I don't blame you wanting to downsize. However, this is probably the wrong place to ask if you should sell your 5-series, haha. It all comes down to personal preference in cars, I guess.

The collection started after i got my e61 to nice to drive.. but still wanted a cool modifiable daily..
Not 100% sure I'm selling it, just seeing what would be a fair asking price for my car.
so there is no asking price as of yet..
Still would love to hear what you guys think its worth..

There was 1 on here very similar to yours sold not long ago. Tons of mods. However, with 60K miles. His asking pricing was $17.5K.
