You need pics and you need to tell us what kind of rims you have.

i would sell all the mods seperate then sell the car with the rims. I think in most peoples cases they want a non modded car. Except rims are expensive so they would want those to already be on the car.

Definitely return the car back to stock. You did keep your stock parts - right?

No matter if you didn't, just don't expect to get much more than it's worth because it has mods unless you find a benevolent enthusiast to buy the car.

As far as private party values are concerned here in Southern California, in my experience most BMW's with the exception of M cars, sell for slightly below the private party blue book. You will always see people asking for a lot of money, and you will see their cars for sale for a long time, and even watch the price go down until it is more in check with reality.

I'd say ask for 5% over blue book, and don't go below 5%. Most people will think they got a deal knocking 10% off the asking price, when in reality they got a car that sold for what is about average.

I'm not feeling the rims. The silver nuts don't do it for me. The car looks great though, and all the right mods. With such a nice condition and cared for car you might get a little more for the car b/c of mods--but not much.

That car would go for about $11k up here in Seattle, but our auto market is a little overinflated up here.
