Worth upgrading turbos?

GR33NMACH1N3 · 07-23-2014, 09:14 AM

I have a 07 e93 with 102k miles. The turbos were never replaced since the previous owner was a lady who only drove on the highway. I got it for a decent price and I have already had offers for 4k more than I bought it. I was wondering if the turbos were to go out and I was to upgrade to RB turbos would that increase the value of the car when I try to sell it in the future?

Most likely no. If ur worried about resale value best get is to keep oem turbos U never get ur money back when u start modding cars.

Yea RB's won't help value more than likely you'll sell as stock to a potential buyer, or have to remove them and put stock back on when selling which is a pain in the ass.

If you plan to keep car for at least 2 years id go RB!

RB is worth it to make the car a lot more fun to drive but in terms of resale value unfortunately it wont help
