Whether its a good deal or not, i dont know. There’s a lot more than just miles that determines the price. But that carbon hood just screams ‘ stay away’ . + black rims and tinted lights, just a red flag for me.

Here’s probably the reason it won’t sell, would take a long time. Age, it’s hard to get a loan for, so it’s a cash buyer. Likely a cash buyer is going to want something newer and willing to pay more. The hood color shows maybe it’s been modified, so feels risky. Likely your market is a 20 year old kid that’s in the army.

Yes

I’m not discounting what everyone else is saying (I kind of am tbh), but unless you have or currently do own one please stop parroting the internet. I don’t know the particular history of this car but I do know that if you do the preventative maintenance and don’t abuse her, she’ll likely be very reliable. First thing I’d do is a complete pre purchase inspection, then make sure you attend to the major areas of concern. Starting from the rear, drain, inspect and replace the diff fluid with the latest bmw spec. Smg change that to Redline 75/90. Rod bearings and Vanos line (I’d advise 5w/50 or 15w/50 redline not 10w/60 redline though as it’s viscosity is actually higher than 15w/50 at low temps). Throttle actuators although if/when they go you can still limp home and there’s no catastrophic damage. Consider replacing the fuel injectors and filter as well. I had mine inspected and wound up flushing the brake fluid and replacing a control arm bushing. Finally once you’ve attended to that, follow proper warmup procedures and then let every other internet expert do the worrying.

No it isn’t.

no 👍

Can we see the inside? Everyone is shitting on you which I dont find particularly fair. Yes the carbon hood spoils it, but put the factory hood on and you’re square. Seems like you know a thing or two about the s85. Atleast you know you have it lol. Paint from 20 ft looks good, wheels look nice… that hood is just ouch.

But with that said, you should also know why a carbon hood makes it look like it’s been trashed. It’s not a popular or very appropriate mod for this kinda car. Also Imo.

If you’ve kept records of the maintenance, have maintenance all the way back till new, a story, and proof you havent (and nobody else) have done what we all first think about. Which is some kid bought something he didn’t know much about and now its mechanically worn. Then you’ll get a pretty penny for it.

How the car looks inside and out up close, with recipes, that is how you’ll get an accurate estimate on here. Hell without the hood, it might even be a good BAT car… who knows. Documents documents documents

If you have heavy pockets for maintenance sure. But you’d be better off getting a 2017+ F series bmw at least with the B48 engine. It’s much more reliable, Toyota has trust in those engines.

Only with a 100% maintenance BMW service book 🙂 … and for this money, there will be nothing like that, or it’s maintained by a „shop under a bridge“ which is sometimes more worse than being not maintained.

If You know your way around those V10 engines, know about the Bangle Butt Era of BMW and there Quirks, You are a BMW Tech and entusiast, sure go ahead!
…
Oh wait, You wouldn’t ask the Question in the first place, go and do some research first about the engine itself, and if You still really want it, make it Your 3rd Car in the Garage, have fun but keep the down time in mind if you won’t go in ball to the wall with everything at the the time.
Just sayin’.

Man, if you really want to get it, mine is currently at 123k miles, still running strong. Heck, I currently daily drive it right now until my beater is back on the road. Ohh by the way, mine is an E60 M5. You have to do maintenance in any car, so that really shouldn’t be a problem, and guess what if you do maintenance it will do right by you. The pointers I can give you is, do transmission right away, replacing them if you can, and also having a good tech look at the pump, clean, or rebuild if you have to. They don’t have to be done at once but plan on it. You don’t need to buy if the car is currently running, but replace your old piston oil squirts. I’ll say that one is really important because they have a hand in blowing the engine when they get stuck open, I removed mines myself and sent it for cleaning because I couldn’t find new and there wasn’t a need, you’ll notice a difference in your engine and it helps maintenance. Second you don’t have to and depending on where you live, I live up north and there’s this guy name TroyJeup and he recommends changing the oil to 5w-50 instead of 10w-60, to help the engine with cold start, I did and never had an issue with my car and oil and I also changed the thermostat. Call me old but I didn’t mod the car much beside mufflers and lower the front of mines and going with 20mm spacers all around. I’ve owned the car since 50k miles and 6 years now with no major headaches after I did my maintenance procedures. like I said, I daily it now and no problems. (Knock on wood)

I want one of these for the glorious v10 noise but only as a manual. I do all my own maintenance so all the horror stories just makes them cheaper to buy. 16k doesn’t seem like a good deal on these and prices have been falling across the board for used cars so better to wait and let them keep falling before jumping in and finding something worth picking up.

Like most BMWs, documented maintenance history will sell the car faster than low miles.

that’s near me 😂

Unreliable asf, but it’s a pretty nice car if u have the enough money

I think you’ll have an easier time selling it if you put it back to stock.
