I haven't bothered even having a dealer appraise my X5.

+1... What were you honestly expecting? Considering the dealer has to retail the car and make $5-$6K and the vehicle is a one year old used vehicle i don't see how that offer is not reasonable IMO. Aftermarket parts bring $0 on resale. Even if you sell privately i doubt anyone will pay any extra for it.
