Spec to Sell?

[kbird]

I may sell my CSL to fund a Race Car for next year likely to be a 330i as I can't run over 3000cc in the Championship I'm looking at. My question is, is it best to sell the car with Intrax and AP's fitted (the AP kit is uprated from the 'standard' AP kit) or put back to standard and sell/keep the parts for the Race Car or sell as is with the standard parts in a box? Thanks

I would say it depends on if you can be arsed to put back to standard.

The parts won't or I don't think will fit a 330i

You may get a bit more for the car with APs on.
The suspension I think I would take off, a potential buyer would probably prefer standard suspension, especially if they have done their homework and seen the problems that can occur fitting coilovers to an E46 M3 / CSL
I'm sure a track nut would take them off your hands pretty quickly.

i would get it as close to OEM as you can and sell parts seperately.

AP kit i would maybe leave on but clearly price accordingly with uplift of sold WITH.

Def get a/m suspension, exhaust, top mounts, seats, off as you are likely to attract more buyers and make more money back BUT more hassle for you. (only relevant if you have the stock parts of course)

Def turn back standard as parts are worth more separate.

Still thinking about selling to fund this years racing, what do you think the Intrax and brakes are worth if I take them off?

Also if I sell and left on the Intrax/APs and didn't repaint the stone chipped bumper, what do think its worth?

Its done 51000 miles FSH with recent Inspection II by Simpson Motorsport. Options are, Xenos, a/c, BMW CD/radio, Tracker. Wheels just fully refurbed by Lepson Swindon, Good Cups, Sapphire Black. Very good condition other than the stone chipped bumper. Never re mapped, standard exhaust.

What do you think for a quickish sale? I'm not greedy!!

Thanks

IMHO, for a quick sale of your SB CSL as it is (with the TD toys) £23 995 will see it go quickly, but then again Jan/Feb are usually a bad time of the year to be selling cars (though great time to buy one :thumbs Then again CSL is no ordinary car so may not be affected by the usuall winter gloom.
Give it a go and U never know your luck. ATB

Standard is your best option when selling these.

You automatically eliminate buyers by leaving the track toys on, mainly because, it gives the impression the car has had a hard life (even if you only did a few per year).

Furthermore, people don't want the perceived hassle of trying to insure a modified car, even though in reality, a good insurance firm won't be too bothered.
