I've been thinking of parting with my beloved vehicle the last couple weeks. Only way that I would sell it is if I would be able to get around 29K for it as it would make my next purchase decision a lot easier. What you think, doable? If not, I might part it out and see what a bone stock, well optioned car might get.

06 550i Steptronic Automatic with 62K miles
Jet black/black interior
Premium sound, 6 disc CD, Logic 7
Sport Package, sport suspension, ARS, Space saver spare, Shadowline Trim, Sports Seats
Comfort access system
Power rear sunshade with manual rear side window shades
Navigation system
Heads Up display
Voice activation
Satellite radio

Mods:
OEM M5 front and rear bumper
OEM Trunk Finisher
OEM M5 trunk lip spoiler
OEM M5 Mirrors
OEM LCI Tail lights with Bruce V5 cables
Gloss black painted kidney grills
Rep Hartge front lip
Rep Hartge rear diffuser
Rep ACS roof spoiler (still need to put it on)
Carbon fiber roundels front, back, and wheels
Custom quad Magnaflow exhaust
Avant garde M310, custom powdercoated semi-gloss antracite, 20" on Falkens in the front, Hankooks in the rear
Interior lights all changed to LED's
M Sport steering wheel, same as M5/M6 without the tricolor stich and M button
LED license plate light

CPO warranty AND extended maintenance through 2/2012 or 100K miles.


Here are some not so good phone pics before I installed the LCI tails, the ones on there are tinted pre-LCI's, and put the carbon fiber roundel caps in the wheels. I'll have to take better pics if it does seem like there might be interest. Thanks.

Let me know if you are going to part out. I have a black 545i and would like to get first dibs on your front, sides and rear kit and quads too. We can switch also if you want the factory bumpers. Let me know.

If you part out, I have jet black stock mirrors and would love some M5 mirrors.

If it doesn't work out selling the whole car let me know

Thanks guys, I do really love this car. I still catch myself turning around to look at it after I park quite frequently. I'm into modding cars and feel like this one is complete, thus the change, time for a new project. I also figured the next owner would like the peace of mind of having a year of warranty and maintenance to reduce the risk involved with buying a used car, especially a V8 BMW. Did forget to mention:

Smoked side marker housings
Mtec V2.1 Angel Eyes

And I think that's it. I definitely would like to sell all together, don't want to deal with all the labor of taking stuff off, but we'll see. I'm also tempted to throw in all the stock parts I have so the new owner can deal with parting it out if they decided to do so or certain mods don't tickle their fancy. Hmmmmm.....
