What's up, man? Sorry I haven't been on the forums lately; I've been focusing on other things. The market for the G30s is rough, man. It seems like a lot of younger kids are buying these cars and customizing them, if that makes sense.

I've been trying to sell my 540 for about a month or two now. I listed it on C&B, and the highest bid I received was $26.5k. The KBB private party value dropped from the mid-$30s to the low $30s in just a few months. I've also gotten a few offers from dealerships around $27k for trade-ins.
I think one reason the value of the G30 540s is declining is that there's nothing particularly special about the car. It has a mass-produced engine that’s in many other BMW models, and Toyota uses it too.

I don't know how many miles your 540 has or what shape it's in, but mine is a 2019 BMW 540 (AWD). I just hit 40k miles and have had it for about 3 years, putting around 11k miles on it. I don't drive it in the winter because I hate salt. The car is well cared for. It’s not fully loaded, but it does have many desirable options like the M-sport package, multi-color seats, premium package 2, HUD, and so on. It's been ceramic coated, with the whole front end protected by PPF. That doesn't matter much to dealerships, but it might appeal to a private buyer.

I've been wanting to sell the 540 for a 2011-2013 BMW M3 competition. But with marriage POSSIBLY in the picture, I think I'll just keep the 540 and the $15k~ I'd have to spend on top of selling the 540 to get into an M3.
