Do you sell the OEM bits when you upgrade?

Small items I keep. Steering wheel, amber sidelights, aerial, etc. Larger parts have gone as if I ever needed them I'd pick up replacements and it seems pointless to sit on hundreds on £££'s for years.
Other items if I ever sold the car I would part ex them to other people, such as the red interior, AE clear lights, etc.

Depends on what they are and the general consensus taste towards them.
When I sold my Scirocco I took off the lights because they were worth a bit, other bits as they wernt everyones taste.
When I sell the E86 I will leave on the grilles and stubby but anything more substantial like wheels again depends on taste..

So the overall consensus is, find somewhere to stash the rims.

Yeah. It's a good question though. I keep all my smaller OEM bits (even the horrible gear knob) just so I have the option to put them back on if I sell. I'd probably draw the line at a hard top or rims, but that's just due to lack of storage in my flat.
I was wondering recently whether I'd have to remove the optional OEM extras I've added (cruise, MSFW etc) when I sell the car. Would you trust a forum member to fit something that should really be installed by a BMW garage, or at least a decent indie? I think I would, in general, especially when people follow community how-tos and take lots of pictures as they go. I'd try and leave these fitted to the car, since they seem to add more to the s/h value than the cost of the parts.
