I'm picking up a '98 528i for some interior pieces and some body work and, mostly, because it comes with a set of clean style 5's (either selling those or my m par replicas, whichever goes first). I'm only going to have it for two or three days before scrap comes to get it...what's worth pulling from it to keep as spares or to put on ebay for project money?
Clean body panels, clean seats (if black), stuff like that. Stuff in nearly-new condition.

If your car has same engine
For spares: thermostat, alternator, MAF sensor, maybe water pump, reservoir, and radiator (if newer) and fan clutch/ blade, coil packs,
For sale: Valve cover, radio MID (combo of EWS, key and ign cylinder, and DME), throttle body (? see how M52 TB's trade), headlight assemblies (if clean, especially xenon)
If its a manual, the manual bits have value as a manual swap kit (pedals, trans, diff, driveshaft, lines, shifter, surround) but that is a lot of work
