My Ride: BMW 520d M Sport E60
Default Which mods to increase value of 520d M sport?

Hello

I have a 2009 520d M Sport, its a lovely car but I have been forced to sell it as we just had our 4th child and need a 7 seater car. I have had it in Autotrader and eBay for a month now and no luck in selling it even after reducing it to £6,299. Admittedly its done 143k miles, but its been well looked after and looks and runs superb.

My question is what can I do to the car that will make it stand out and increase value and desirability so that it will sell? Please see pics attached.

Thanks

Sometimes just parking it with a "For Sale" sign on a well-traveled street will generate considerable interest. I don't think you want to put any more money into it at this point.

Looks like you have a nice car there, but what's the warning light indicating? You DON'T want to post pictures with that showing.

Hi, I think its just the handbrake engaged light?

I always drive past those cars thinking what is the chance that someone needing that car will drive by and want to buy it? Slim to none has always been my opinion, but maybe I am wrong?

Have you ever stopped to look at one? You generally don't see bimmers, so what have you got to lose?
