2008 with 70k miles on it.
You are waaaaayyyy too optimistic.
Great upgrades and mods, however, you can get a 2011 IS Coupe with 10k miles on the clock for less than that (at least I did )

Good luck

you're better of keeping it

Thanks for the advice. Would you say so because of what I've invested so far vs the probable sale price?

Thanks for the heads up. The IS Coupe would definitely be a different kind of car though compared to the four door all wheel drive with 400hp+ and 430lbs+ torque. Not suggesting one is better than the other, but they'd be going to a slightly different person/interest I'd think. Additionally, this still has the extended maintenance and warranty, including the parts Dinan Installed. The IS vs this Dinan 335 are not equal in performance or use.

Based on mods and exterior if you were to part it out and replace with stock, I could probably see a $10k or $15k return investment and the car for $18-20K, just my opinion, car should be $35k OBO altogether. But I'd still baby and keep it and give it to my kids for the future.

I get that it has a lot of upgrades, but you're not going to get what you spent on it back. That's the downside to modding. Looks good though, if you drop the price to 32-35k it should sell. Someone could get a used m3 with lower mileage for 38-42k. I don't know if anyone would spend close to 50k on it. If they do then congrats. Good luck! The car looks good.

yup, you invested a lot of money which most likely you won't get back... if I was a buyer I would rather get an M3 for 40K.... and mod it for the rest....

I agree with that memeber clemuadnadnaid5 whatever his nickname is.. that's the downside of modding, you should maybe try pulling everything out and reselling and then selling your car... it might be a lot of hustle though!

[kgb1637]

Mods unfortunately dont equal resale, sucks but it is what it is.

[EvolutionTheory]

Considering selling at $38,000. Any interest?

Uh... eh-hem... one could buy an 08 M3 for these numbers... much rather get an M3

The M3 has an M badge and awesome design, but doesnt this car outperform that M3 in every way? Even with added all wheel drive and four doors. Further, most 08 M3's are in the low to mid $40k.

Regardless, just posting you'd rather have an M3 doesn't really contribute to the thread in any way.
