Need some advice please

Post by GTi_Red »

Hi, I've recently been thinking of selling up around July next year but have quite I few things for and on my car such as
Fitted: LCR brembos, miltek non res cat back, K&n 57i, jvc double din, sub, bbs dune alloys, Polly bushes
To be fitted: H&R 35mm springs, tt comps, 256mm rears and timing belt kit and water pump.
Basically I'm asking what you all think is best to do put it back to standard or leave some bits on
Any help appreciated
Cheers

Normally modified cars can be harder to sell and command less money than a standard model, there will always be exceptions i.e. if the person looking for the car would probably do the mods anyway and if you have receipts for the mods and if they were done at a reputable garage, but generally you would probably be better off taking it back to standard and selling, you can sell the parts and the car can fetch the same if not a little bit more money.

I'm going to put it back to standard and just sell everything bar the timing belt kit and fit that

Because I'm 20 in jan so can insure something a bit bigger and will of had it 2 years July and ive been saving like mad. I'm in the army so was going to go down the sensible for traveling and going to get an a5 3.0 tdi but then decided sensible is boring so now going to get a 135i coupe (the only bmw I will ever like. Everything else is rats) reason being its 3.0 twin turbo, maps straight to 380bhp and has 6pot brembos front and 2pot rear standard

Fair does, I kind of needed a happy medium between quick and economical and unassuming. the new m135 is a nice motor abd isnt too over the top
