Would there be any interest in
 
My swagn , and at what price point? Seriously considering selling my xit. It's at about 33k miles on the clock. I like to price things to sell not wait for the right buyer to pay my dream number.. It's all oem where it should be and tunes jb4 g4 and Cobb go with it . Custom exhaust blah blah .. All the spares .. It still has a yr left on the platinum warranty through BMW ...

Interested in the boards thoughts.

Assuming you have all the OEM parts, you might consider parting it out, and then selling it as stock. As is, I'm not sure that the market is there to pay anything more then the going rate is for a stock example.

Unless an enthusiast buys it, who can appreciate the mods, if they're into them.

TLO03 07-21-2014 02:44 PM

Well I wasn't expecting much more than I see other xit's going for with 35k mi. And some warranty left..
Parting out is very possible ... But re installing roof racks could be a pain..

Long time e46fanatics and e92post member. I'm in the market for an e61 535xi and I happen to come across your thread :)

Are you seriously debating on selling your e61? If you are, I might be interested. Do you mind messaging me with a complete list of what's been done to the car?

Cheers.

Exactly. Might help to have a mod list if you want to get an idea of the car's value with them on...

Wow, that's impressive! Let's hope a real enthusiast will find it.

Just my humble opinion, but I'd leave out the basic stuff like air filter, caliper painting, sunroof tint, etc.

Few people read lots of text, and you don't want the important stuff getting lost in the details with the piddly stuff.

Like "one year left on the extended warranty", vs. "calipers painted black"...

Ask yourself, would the buyer really care about those misc. items? Or at least have a second category called Misc. with all that minor stuff in it.

The major mods like suspension, tune, FMIC, DP's (which few might want, since they're catless, especially if there are emissions to be passed), tune should stand out. The rest, who cares in the grand scheme of things, is my take on it.

GLWS. :D

bionet 07-23-2014 12:29 PM

That is quite a list. Although the previous post mentions to leave things out, I actually prefer to have as much detail as possible.

What year is the wagon?
Any issues? Are you willing to take it for a BMW PPI? (at my cost of course)
Clean title? In hand?

And finally, have you even started to think of a price point you are willing to part with the car for?

TLO03 07-23-2014 01:19 PM

I started the list trying to go chronologically , but things got forgot and jambed in. Like the warranty was purchased at 20,500 miles. I try to be as descriptive as possible so no surprises ..
Wagon is 2008 I'll pm you the rest cuz this is turning into a classified ad..
Prefer to sell it but part out possible.

Lotus99 07-23-2014 02:08 PM

With all the mods on the car, not sure what BMW would exactly cover warranty wise... :D Engine, tranny, suspension and any components they can say might be related I doubt would be, unless you've got a super mod friendly dealer. While the Magnusson Moss Act is great in theory, most tend to take the approach of deny first, then prove it was caused by the mod.

TLO03 07-23-2014 02:18 PM

Well the reason I got the platinum cuz it dose cover radio and idrive .. And I do have a friendly place.

jmoney535 08-03-2014 09:21 AM

does the car have a custom exhaust and what kind

TLO03 08-03-2014 09:28 AM

I'm still undecided on listing it... But it has a meisterschaft exhaust pretty much muffler .. And 3" non resonated piping between DP's and muffler..
