How much do you think this 2011 135I Msport is worth?

[e80two]

I picked this car up in 9/21. Here are the list of mods. In a few days, I'll reveal what I paid. Looking at the classifieds section, I personally feel I got a steal. Curious to know what people think the car is worth.
-NE car, stored during the winter, no rust
-clean Carfax
-I am the 4th owner
-2nd owner did all the heavy lifting
-3rd owner had it for about 3500 miles, and sold it to me to pick up a piece of property
-interior is IMMACULATE and the only exterior damage is listed in the ad below
-came with LoJack
-came with a manila folder about 1.5" thick containing every receipt for every purchase/service made by owners 2 & 3.

Here is the advertisement as posted, with a few edits made for clarity's sake:

2011 6MT SBM over Coral red BMW 135i Msport w/91,203 miles

Options:
-iDrive
-HK sound system
-Manual seats
-Cold weather package

Owner #2 purchased this car in spring of 2015, and he initially used it to commute 80 miles round trip each day for work during the first 2 years of ownership, then only put a couple thousand miles a year after moving closer to work. Owner #2 put about 15k miles on it in the 6 years of his ownership. Owner #2 purchased the car from an older retired gentleman who used it to drive to Michigan and back a few times a year. Owner #2 and I (owner #3) always garage kept the car and stored it with a very rigorous storage routine. The car has never been driven in the snow and has only been caught in the rain a few times. I have never done burnouts, drifted it, drag raced, clutch drops, donuts. That sort of stuff is not for me and frankly above my skill level. Car is used for date night and to visit car shows. Pets have never been allowed in the car. Owner #2 and I have never allowed eating and drinking in the car. Very big on maintenance and preventative maintenance and when the car was modified, the "might as well upgrade while we are in there" mentality was used. That being said, the turbo upgrade, clutch and all maintenance performed around that time was done by a Tulley BMW certified tech. The car was built with the intention of having a full interior track car that handles the corners and off ramps extremely well. The M-factory helical limited slip differential was added prior to the Pure Stage 2 Turbo to help keep the car planted out of the corners. The has been through 5 sets of wheels and 7 sets of tires before what was decided to be perfect for driveability and handling. Looking back, owner #2 spent $29,000+ over 6 years and basically added an average of $400 to his monthly payment. The vehicle has had over a dozen alignments to get it dialed in with suspension upgrades and/or tire changes. The vehicle has also had over a dozen oil changes in the last 6 years with LiquiMoly specialTEC. The brake fluid has also been flushed with StopTech fluid and the transmission and differential with LiquiMoly products. The car was recently buffed and waxed with Chemical Guys products, and the interior was detailed as well. There are very small paint imperfections that could be further cleaned up by a detailer. There are 3 very very small dents in the lip of the hood that (a local PDR company) says they can remove for under $200. It hasn't bothered (owner #3) enough to address it and they are almost invisible and my next purchase was going to be an e82 active hood (if I could find one.) The car has an AEM Meth kit installed and currently a conservative MHD tune. You will need a smart device and a MHD account, which can be included for an add'l $300. (~sidenote: I opted for this, and the account comes with 6 custom flashable tunes to account for various octane levels, +/- methanol.) The current MHD tune will be included. (Owner#3) have not had the car dyno'd but a conservative guess
at power is somewhere north of 460RWHP and over 500RWTQ. There is more power to be made if you partner with a tuner and create a custom tune of your own.

(Owner #3 works) 5-6 days a week and and can meet up most nights. (Owner #3) will not show the car in the rain, and will only take you on a test ride. You will need a truck to collect all of the OEM parts and extra parts that are included. Might even take 2 trips. Most parts were purchased from ECS tuning or FCP Euro. More pics upon request as well as take specific pictures as
well if needed.

The used car market is insane. Pricing on a car like this is driven by the market. Demand is high. So if you are planning on selling it for a profit, you have picked a great time. I'd ask at least $30k and see what happens.

[fast1eddy]

The car has a great list of modification and maintenance clearly geared towards track use. I'm not sure that will result in an increased value for the car. In some ways it narrows your audience. That being said if you're patient you should be able to find a buyer. As for value I really have no idea but I don't think it will be worth more than an unmodified car.

I *definitely* don't plan to sell *lol*. Since purchase, I've already added a few mods, and plan on more. Purchased and modded an E90 M3 a few years ago, sold it and picked up pristine, low mileage, stock 6MT B8 A4. Did full suspension, FBO + K04 + tune + methanol, and was looking to go custom turbo, but weighed the associated costs and started seeing what else was on the market. Sold the A4 shortly after I picked this up, so no selling.....this one is a keeper.

You make some valid points. There is definitely as specific market for a car like this were I looking to sell.

Love your LeMans Blue, btw. I was hoping to find one in that color when I picked up the SBM *lol*.

This^^

I sold cars for several years and I can confirm this is true, we never paid more for modified cars than for a similar unmodified version. I've been monitoring the prices for 1ers since I might get another one what I've seen is they've retracted a bit with stock 135is's commanding in the early $30s from the mid $30s. Another observation noticed is that once the mileage crosses 50-60k the price really starts to plummet. If I had to guess a car like yours could fetch $14-16k, of course finding the right buyer is going to be the key, someone that will appreciate and pay for the mods. I'm willing to bet you picked it up for around $10k since you stated "it was a steal."

Looking forward to the reveal.

[e80two]

I paid $21k for it.

I realize that we all have differing opinions on what a car is worth, but it pretty much boils down to, "whatever someone deems it's worth."

I knew when I embarked on this ownership journey what kinds of mods I was planning to do, as well as the associated costs. This car is very much in alignment with what I was planning mechanically, so being able to save on the associated costs (time and money) was very appealing. The fact that the previous ownership has documented proof of not only the parts purchases, but the installations as well, heavily swayed my opinion. A clear Carfax doesn't hurt, either.

Overall, I feel very comfortable with the price point, and am immensely enjoying the purchase!

[Lester]

That's what it's all about!

[bobowar135]

A car is worth as much as somone is willing to pay for it.

[Josh-PA]

I was going to say $14k too.

The mods detract value for most buyers. As long as you value the mods, you're happy and enjoying then you got a steal. Its very hard to find cars these days, so finding one like this that fits what you were looking for makes it a good buy.

Yeppers, pretty much the same idea I expressed above

Tell me about it! I feel like this car is an excellent starting point for where I'd like to go. I work on my own vehicles, so I know the time and effort needed to execute the installation of the mods (not to mention the price!), and the work done negates dozens of hours of work, so that alone was huge!

Of course there are *some* things that I don't like (5 gal methanol tank that makes fold down rear seats useless) that I'm working on modifying, but for the most part, I couldn't be happier.
