You should put it in the classified section. I'm sure the Moderator will move it. Very nice BTW. That's basically my car before my mods but one year older..GLWS. Somebody will get a nice piece.
Love the wheels, are they OEM or reps?

My Ride: 530i
All I'm saying is I think you're a little on the wrong side of the $30k mark, I can see you getting $35k, but anything above that is insane, especially when you're asking for basically $40k.
Very nice car, but mileage and age were very consistent in the aforementioned comparison--for you also forgot to point out that the 55,000 mile, $29k 535i was a 10' model, while yours is still an 08'.

In all honesty, I agree, the price is far too high. The differences between a 550i and 535i are pretty negligible in most regards; one comes with a Turbo'd I6 and one is a naturally aspirated V8. Slap a JB4 (which is pretty damn cheap) and the barometer between which would be the better buy is heavily in favor of a 535i.

Your points are pretty much what I was thinking.
Sorry Metalcolt. I didn't mean to offend you or your car.
It is a beauty. GLWS

And 20,000 miles is 20,000 miles, especially when it is someone else driving the car your buying, and we are talking about two cars that many people buy and drive hard or poorly and then get rid of them. Most of the people who love and take the best care of these cars are not the ones buying them brand new. I did not forget about the difference between 2008 and 2010, it is just that from my perspective it does not really account for much of a difference, definitely the least of anything we are discussing.

I ended up with 2 550i's in my family. 535i is a great car and is cheaper, though I didn't buy it for several reasons. Here are a few: 1) HFPF failures (not only N54, but N55 and new 4.4V8) plus I wanted the V8 but JB4 sounded very tempting, though HFPF +JB4 - no go in my book, 2) M-Aero kit with 172 rims looks better to me than M5 package (minus the quad exhaust). I was able to find a few 535s with M-Aero package, but not with 172 rims. Those that had both had aftermarket kits with most likely knock off rims.
It is funny how 535i vs 550i comparison always diverge to jb4. Probably 99.9% 535s are driven without JB4 or other serious mods. There is something called design margin/headroom. I can see 10% torque/hp increase with mod but 25% or higher, I always question why BMW engineers haven't implemented JB4 themselves and marketed one as 535i super sport.
