That accident is going to hurt you. Whether you think it's not alarming or not, that is a crap ton of damage and it is a black mark on the Car Fax which will definitely put you in the high 30's at best. 62k miles are a lot of miles for the MY and you have basically no warranty, so a few more dings. CPO up on 5/22 is not much and means the next buyer will have to fork over $3-$4k on an aftermarket warranty. Lastly, as much as you think your mods add value, they do not and sometimes retract. When you (or me or anyone) mods, don't make the mistake in thinking it will add value, just do it for you. My mods are all capable of being undone, meaning I keep the old stuff to put it back on as I know I will get shit or the same for the car with or with or without and will be able to sell it easily afterwards for something. For example, I literally just pressed buy in the full $4,000 Dinan exhaust. That sucker will be coming off and sold separately when I am ready to sell/trade. Dealer certainly won't give me any more for the car with it on it.

I think you may be looking at $36,000, even in this market.

Have to agree with Joe on this one!

You openly show that you had raced the car with track numbers stamped on the side of it, and also admit it was in an accident. Your asking price is "Living in the Dream World Neo"

Nobody is going to buy that car, as is, for that price.

If as you said "nobody is going to buy that car", I'll keep it, which is why this is not a FS post 😊

P.S - No harm trying to live the dream right? Some get lucky so who knows I might too haha

Sure thing ! Only trying to help. You are shooting for the moon. We are just trying to give you honest advice.

I have to wonder why you didnt go with a M550 at your cars original purchase price? Maybe insurance or something ? You could have had all those "power adders" already there with a M550 and then some.

Oh no please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate your advice. I am just looking to see if there is a buyer for such a car with mods, if not, I would be driving it as I have been.

And when I got my car, M550i's were out of my reach. Also I am not too sure about BMW v8's still when it comes to reliability. I am sure new Twin turbo V8's are excellent but I chose B58 for reliability and knowing that I can push it without worrying about too much. Have only heard horror stories about BMW V8's tbh.

I got my loaded ($93k MSRP) M550i with 33k miles and 1.5 years of CPO warranty for I think $46k on 2/2021. Also had no accidents, no tracking, etc.

I know the market has inflated a bit, but geez.

Thanks brother, I appreciate it and for sure, I'll let you know if I end up taking that route.

Numbers on car do not mean RACE. Number on a car can just be HPDE or Driver Ed. This is something enthusiast may do, track a car.

I just paid 50k for a 2018 M550i with 29k miles in September..

More people prefer to buy stock car instead of modded. That being said, on bmw certified website, i can see four 540 msport cars less than 44k usd, ranging from 32k-45k miles, theres also a couple 550 around 51k usd with 30k miles.

Your asking price is right in the between, and having higher mileage, i think majority of buyers would either spend less for stock 540, or spend more for a 550.

Like someone suggested… might be good to sell the mods & parts, and sell the car stock.

Just my 2 cents, good luck. seems you plan to enjoy the car until a buyer shows up, so just have fun. Lol

Exactly man, it's something even bmw sells it on their official website. It was indeed HPDE, isn't this the ultimate driving machine after all haha

No disrespect to any bmw as all are beautiful and commendable in their own way but yes, I can see some really basic m550xi that don't even have heated seats let alone ventilated or massage? No adaptive chassis, no ACC... lot more. I went to go search and basic ones 2018 with 25k miles cost $53k.

Funny how people casually forget that this car has 17k worth of options

Haha last lines are true, just posted to see if someone offers something. 48k is my price but of course I'm open to offers and until then I'm driving it as I've have been. Thanks man 😊

Guys just let the OP rock. He put out a feeler to see if anyone is interested, not an opinion thread. If you are not interested, keep it moving. No need to put a bunch of negative comments on his thread to hurt a potential sale.

With that said, I had a 2011 E92 335xi with bolt ons, tune, and 78k miles. I put it up for sale for 15k recently and some told me i'm crazy and the most i'd get would be 8-9k. I said okay, and kept it for sale. I would have gotten 15k but knocked off 1k for a good person and sold it for 14k. The point is, someone would buy it for the price you are asking if they find value in what you put in and some wont.

Clean up the thread and GLWS.

The $17k translates into maybe $1,000. It's also very rare to see any G30 up for sale as stripped as you say in your example. It is the exception, not the norm. The norm are most of the options on your car.

What a shit show of a post. Not sure why you are arguing with everyone. There are a lot of reasons your car is not worth what you think, but one that seems to be overlooked in this thread is that major accident you were in.

You put a feeler post out here and you don't like what you are feeling and hearing. $36,000

Word 💯

Like first of all it's a feeler post. Someone can say 45 and I might go ahead and sell it but I understand that I might not get offers for the price I posted and that's totally okay.

I might just have to have this thread deleted and repost or somehow have the comments removed with admin's help.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. See how easy it was for someone to just be nice and not say anything but damn some people are salty af here I swear lol

Thanks again bro 🙌🏽

i just carguru 540i dealer used/cpo pricing. $45-46k can get you a 2019 with 20k miles (and this is me searching within just 150miles in Los Angeles area where pricing is high as a kite). Sorry to say this, but your car at 61k miles is worth at most $32k in a private market without any accident. With all your mods on the car + the accident + you included photos of it being abused (not saying you actually abused it, but autocross, track use means abuse for majority of the people) etc. it drops the value even more. Even if it was HPDE, to the general public no one is going to know what that was or give a damn.

as I3LaZeN said, "someone" may find the mod you put on the car with value, but keep in mind, his E92 335xi is actually a sought after car in the tuning market for people that's looking for one. The G30 540 is not one of those cars. If you really want to get top dollar for your car, your best bet is turn it back to stock.

just my 2cent. good luck
