Not everyone wants a 135 I agree, however with second had one series (that look pretty much the same and are based on the 1 series platform) the used prices are seemingly close (comparing 125 and 135).

Comparing a 135 with an M3 would be ridiculous. Comparing a 3 series with an M3 would make more sense, particularly if the 3 series was a coupe and outwardly looked almost identical to an M3.

It seems like your own evaluation of how attractive your car is might need adjustment? Also I agree with Honny, strip all the goodies off it and sell them separately, a second hand buyer will not factor those extras in to their offering price.

Of course you've got to factor in the cost to remove and replace the CF bits with the OEM bits, it might not even be worth it for some items.
