To the market? $13,000. To the right buyer, looking for that kind of car modded, maybe more.

My dealer sends me emails and wants to give me $13,000 for my car if I trade it in on a M240i. Obviously, I say no, but they keep trying anyway. lol

whatever the price is on KBB.

subtract $1k from that for the mods.

modified cars generally get less unless you find someone specifically looking for a 'pre-modified' car-----which you MAY be able to find on the forums. In which case mayyyyyyybe $15k.

I’d say closer to $18-20k if the mods are tasteful. Miles are high but if you have all the maintenance records and it’s well cared for, the right person might pay that for a turnkey 1 series. The question is how long are yo willing to wait for that buyer?

You have a high mileage car with heavy mods. Don't take this the wrong way, but only someone with incredibly bad judgement or deep pockets and a "must have" attitude would pay significantly more than market for the base unmodded car, for your vehicle. Why? Too much risk with heavily modded cars. It's better to start with a stock car and add mods yourself if you're after that.

So you would probably make a lot more money selling the car stock and then selling the mods separately. #effort

How on earth is 110K high mileage for a 9 year old car? NADA actually adds $550 to the value of an '09 135i with 110k. 125-130k on an '09 would be about average, considering 14-15k is about the average annual mileage driven in the US.

While regular cars will be driven 10-15,000 miles a year, typically sports cars are driven less than 5,000 miles per year. And once you also eclipse 100,000 miles on any car, for better or worse, it typically has a stigma attached to it.

If you tell me you have a 20 year old car with 200,000 miles on it, I’m still going to say it has a a lot of miles on it. 200,000 miles is a lot. Just because you averaged 10,000 miles a year doesn’t change anything.

This is a 135i we're talking about, not some high end exotic that only comes out if there's a full moon and no chance of precipitation forecast within a 200 mile radius for the next three days. Apparently, the automotive valuation authorities don't subscribe to this idea that a 135i should see only 5k a year, or else they'd be dinging the value on an '09 135i if it had over ~45k on it. But they're not. They're adding value to it, since it's low in their eyes at 110k. Sure, I could see your point on a 1M, since it's super US limited, in demand, and more of a true sports car, but not with a 135i.

The "automotive valuation authorities" and the market also often disagree, especially when it comes to so-called enthusiast cars. For example, KBB will usually subtract from the value when a car has a manual transmission, but many sports cars with manuals command a small premium over their auto counterparts. Also, with regards to mileage, as stated previously, anything over 100,000 definitely has a stigma associated with it. This is especially true for BMWs and other German cars which have the stereotype of poor reliability and high maintenance costs when out of warranty.

I'll leave these private party examples here for reference:




Note that a 200k 2008 135i in excellent condition is worth 43% of the same car with only 25,000 miles and a 100,000 mile example is about 2/3 the value of the 25k mile car. It's about a 10% drop in value for every 25,000 miles until 100,000 miles and then decreases to about 7% per 25,000 miles. That's because you can only go so low.

Maybe go visit a CarMax and see what they offer you. I think $13K is about right. Maybe a few grand higher IF you want to sell the car yourself.

I'd bet carmax offer will easily be less than $10k.
