Hi All! I just discovered this thread and read the entire thing so I registered to comment here. I know this is old but hopefully there are still some touring fans kicking around here.
Thanks @TopPMP for putting this info together! I've done a similar project and my numbers tie out with yours, I'll post some new tables here soon. @Mikenbmer78 I see you're in Tacoma too! Hit me up if you're still living the E61 life. @p_dhub I WANT your wagon!! Let me know if you're interested in trading for my silver one lol @Mike Pagnotta Are you sure you don't have Deep Sea Blue? Per the 2010 ordering guide, Monaco wasn't an option with the M Sport Package. @Chriserz You snagged the only Canadian unobtanium! I have one of the two US copies. I'm trying to figure out what interior trim you have, is that Pentan Aluminum?
Surprising BAT let you set the reserve that high, what was the reserve and what are you trying to get for it.
Reserve was $36k which I thought it would reach easily. But the market has spoken so I would take any reasonable offer in the 30s. I offered to meet the high bidder at his final bid of $33k but he passed.
Hi - curious if you have the breakdown for all the E61’s brought to NA? I have an 08, M package, every option for the year, with 80,000 miles and have owned since almost new. BAT won’t take it because I’m in Canada, and they only want 6spds…. I’m suspecting I have a pretty rare car, and would like to determine if that’s the case. Where did you source the information on breakdown? And how can I help?
Hey SMR66, I don't know if there is a thread here or anywhere that details ALL of the E61's that came to NA. That would be a significant amount of information.
if anyone is interested it’s a 2010 with 66k. Didn’t meet reserve on bat. Bad timing in my opinion right after two others but regardless any interest reach out. 1 of the only 3 deep sea blue with black interior.

Not that you asked but in the spirit of giving constructive feedback on the listing... As a detail-oriented enthusiast a few things stand out to me which might of stood out to others and hurt the bidding.
Headlight condensation: E6X vehicles rarely suffer from it so when you do see it, it points to a headlight seal failure or headlight housing caps are not properly installed, either way it doesn't present well. Paint swirls: Since the photographer was using a flash you see all the swirls. 2nd photo in the listing highlights this well. Leather condition: Interior looks to be in great shape in terms of bolster wear etc. but looking at the photos what stood out to me is how greasy/shiny/dirty the leather is on the shift knob, steering wheel, and seats. Again, I think this is highlighted by the camera flash but it makes the interior look well, dirty and worn. Something like Leatherique probably would have done wounders. M-Badge: Polarizing they are, some love them and some hate them. I would say in general purists and enthusiasts typically fall into the hate category so that little M in the lower grill probably didn't help anything.
No offense, just some feedback which would help this E61 present to it's true potential.
Beautiful E61, I hope it finds a good home.
