5-series, how much extra with Sport bodykit?

DannyDan · 1 Mar 2009 at 00:33

Just been browsing Autotrader and found a 53-reg BMW 530d SE with 113k on the clock. A full Sport M-sport bodykit has been fitted including alloys etc.

It's up for £10k but Parkers suggests it's worth about £7,800. So how much above the standard SE valuation should I expect to pay in light of it having a Sport bodykit (if anything)?

Thanks.

Nothing, becuase it's not a Sport, it's an SE with a bodykit on it. The bodykit is £1k fitted. It'll still be an SE inside, with SE seats and stuff.

we talking e60?
if so, yes

if not, the e39 sports wheel looks out of place. it belongs in an e46.

Go and sit in the corner.

pre-facelift is fine. not convinced about the e46 one though. looks wrong

i like the standard one with all the buttons down the sides

It's not an E46 one it actually appeared first on the facelift E39 M5.

SO THERE.

the M5 wheel was fatter and better than the crappy ones you get in m models. it's not the same. maybe

there are quite a few types. the small fat one is good. the crappy e46-style 3 spoke one with the gap in the bottom spoke is not

It has a Sport wheel too, thankfully

No, it's exactly the same except the colour of the stitching. I'm more than happy to enter into a 'BMW trim level geek fight' with you, but you are of course completely doomed to failure.

in order of goodness, according to me and my bad opinions.

or was #5 never available in the e39?

This is so true, it's not even remotely funny.

That bottom one isn't an E39 steering wheel or a Sport steering wheel.

I think so, unless the interior photo isn't the same car:

meh, still don't like that 3 spoke one. the new one looks abysmal, especially in a poverty-spec 1 series..

It looks aidsworthy enough to come from an E36.

Muffin` · 1 Mar 2009 at 00:54

Half trim *screams*

Not worth 10k imo

mjt · 1 Mar 2009 at 00:55
