I haven't logged in in a long time. I'm not sure how popular the car is anymore. I personally still love it and am trying to get an 09 instead of my 08. But to do that I need to remove everything I have inside the car for trade in. In the event I had to leave BMW, 09s are still a lil pricey for me, would it be better to sell my items as a set or part out? I'm looking for advice, this isn't a I'm selling message me thing.

2 sets of DCIs
ER mirror chargepipe w/ blue tial BOV
JB4 G5 w/ USB
BMS spark plug socket
Cabin filters that for some reason kind fit but kinda didnt but were correct
Programming cable (the correct one)
low temp thermostat that i had to hack up because it didnt fit, works just short. neither BMS thermostat fit, my car is early production 08. 04/07.

It's kind of a crap shoot since I could sell it at once and someone gets great parts for a great price but I'd have to wait for someone with the cash. Or if i sell on ebay I'm out 10% plus paypal and on here like I said idk what the market is like with you guys anymore.

 

why are you selling, to just get a one year newer car?

 

I just sold my 08 535 with the jb4 and the factory nav that i installed some years ago. Honestly, if you are going to start removing things do it before anyone sees it. If you get someone interested in the car and they realize you are going to start stripping things off or wanting more money because they are there, most likely they will simply walk away. It happened to me once with a car and then another sell and thats just what I did, walked way. Sure these mods really don't add any value but they do add interest and positive results when shopping and comparing. If you strip it down, then you have something just like everyone else does and then the potential buyer has a lot more bargaining power.

 

That's my question too. If it's giving you problems, that's one thing, but if you said you love the car, why not just spend some more money on mods instead?

To answer your question though, I agree with TonyB. I'd leave the parts in and add them as selling points.

 

i have rattly wastegates so its kinda like a timebomb imo. the 09 has nav and i dont its the color i like and the guy got literally every option possible including rear seat heaters and fold down. 30k miles less too. its going to a dealer regardless not private thats why the parts are coming out.

 

So why did you ask?

 

the red bold part. so all the listed parts for $1000(example) to someone or take everything and price them out piece by piece.
