04-05 545 used motor with high mileage can generally go for 4.500, low mileage can go for 6-7k. the whole transmission can go for as low as 1.700-3.500,NOT including labor ofcourse . 530i owners dont get any ideas !

first off, you need to check your state's law regarding buyback. i know in illinois, the car has to be 9 years old to be eligible for buyback. this law is to prevent crooks from stripping a car, collecting insurance money, buying it back, then reassemble with the same stolen parts.
