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.

Thanks guys, still not sure what I should or am going to do.
gerrypd, I got your message as a comment, I don't seem to have private messaging clearance yet. I'd be able to sell you the car for that price only if you want it without any real mods. I was offered a tad bit less already as a trade in. Haven't taken it into Carmax to get a bottom line price yet. I'm sure I could sell it for that price privately without any mods, +/- 1,000. Thanks though, I'll let you know if I change my mind.
Those that told me to part out are probably right. I think I could realistically get about 4.5-5K for the mods selling them at 50-60% of what I got them for. Am I wrong in thinking that?
Until I get a PM box, you can email me at calbear550 @ gmail till then. Thanks for the compliments and advice thus far.

probably end up regreting this at some point later in life, but i have to do it. car is FOR SALE. 30K with all the mods, 26K without. if it doesn't sell with the mods, be on the look out for a part out real soon. i'll be taking it in to carmax this weekend to get a bottomline price and then the dealership to see what the trade in also. thanks.

Hahaha, I've been looking at 650i's too, so if I pull the trigger on one of those, I might, actually will, take these mirrors with me. But if not, I'll keep you posted as you seemed very interested from the beginning.
