Price check - share you opinion

Probably best to part it out first. Sell the parts here or ebay and then sell a nice stock car.

Win both ways.

Fair point, I've got all the stock parts still.

Just put it up for sale the way it is and offer the stock parts also. You might find someone looking for just what you have and be willing to pay what you want for it.

If that doesn't work, part it out.

Unfortunately, you won't get much for the parts and you'll have to spend on getting them removed. Might as well sell it as is on a slight discount.

If you do part it out - remember to be dishonest and clean the exhaust!

Off topic but how are you finding the Goodyear F1's?

I assume you went 225/255 - any rubbing issues?

To be fair I did ask for opinions, so with that comes the negative Nancy's as well as the optimists. I think the comment on modifications is a bit of a broad sweeping statement however, assuming you're someone who accepts a car can be improved over it's original specs.

Yet I buy/sell cars nationally and work all over aus(so 12months in Perth for example, might end up in syd or old next :P )
Yes I accept that cars can be improved, sorry if I was being too much of a realist...

Experience, not just perception ;-)
I have modified every car I have owned, I have also bought modified vehicles.

I wasn't speaking about strictly BMW's on this topic...

Definite win, as you said it is all bolt-ons so it shouldn't be hard to do in your own shed. Probably get around the same money + the money back on mods.

Hi Buddy,

I'm currently in the market myself. Study and note all movements in all states.

High 40's seem to be the going rate for 08 build manual 135is with 40,000+

Autos seem to sell for more.

Why dont you do this? install your OEM parts... then list the car for $X amount and state that it comes with all those parts as complimentary?!

Obviously.. jack up the initial price abit tho!
