Just curious as to what the potential private party price would be for my 535i.

It's hard for me to judge, given the add ons like the m-tech bumpers, etc.

Also, that it is a 6MT, so I would look to sell to another enthusiast.

Not looking to sell, just looking for an idea on current value.

What would you guys pay?

Assume 58,000 miles, no paint or body work, non smoker, usual hood chips for age.

See signature.

Thanks!

You are lucky that you found someone who likes your car as it is.
Adding after market items to a car does not always add to the value of the car. As much as we love the add ons for the most part it will equate to how much it would cost to remove the items.

I'm not looking to sell the car.

read between the lines of the post from healthservices.

Go online and look for a similar (stock) car and there is your price for the most part. Most of your mods will not return a premium. The average person is going to look at two or more machines and think to themselves, do I really want to pay extra for that bumper, those pedals, etc.... and may have to actually incur an expense to get it back to the look they want with yours

Plus mods imply that the owner who added them may have been a little more enthusiastic exploring the cars performance than a little old lady with a totally stock vehicle, i.e. more wear and tear than average.

$30-32k without an extended warranty, just my opinion based on the current market.

I would have to guess less than that for private party like he is asking. My dealer purchased CPO 08 was $30k w/ ~27,000 less miles and most of the same factory options except logic 7 or manual trans.
