Can i have some help pricing one of my cars its a 2005 Z4 205 SE with 114000 miles
im loosing one of my garages so either this had to go or my Z4 M coupe and you can quess which i chose to keep .

Some Details

My ex bought this car from Rydale Central in Birmingham in Oct 2005 it was registered in March 2005, its came with the alpina bits from the dealer the front and rear spoiler plus 19" alpina dynamic alloy wheels
its has 4 previous keepers on log book my ex from 2005-2015 Myself from 2015 to 2020 my current partner 2020 to 2021 and back to myself
I have a massive file of receipts for everything thats been done since 2015 unfortunately the earlier history was lost
Good bits

1. Hydraulic steering from an E46 purple rack etc
2. Hardtop with bag and accessories
3. Sports button
4. Mediabridge system for music and calls
5.Hankook Ventus rear tyres which are new 265 x 30 x 19 & Nankang 235 x35 x 19 6mm - car has a staggered set up
6.Car has never been crashed excellent body work with no rust - always garaged
7. Hood operates and its like new as my ex never removed the hard top for 10 years
8. Car runs great with no current issues

Not so good
1. slight pealing of paint on the tip of the rear spoiler
2. slight mark on the rear bumper

Its hard to price it as i cant see another for sale thats looks like this one so any suggests please

At the moment you’re looking at c.£2500 for the 2.5Se and say £1500 for the wheels and hardtop, so £4k all up. I don’t think the body kit is worth a premium on the car.

Just my guess, good luck if you decide to sell.
 
Thanks for the suggestions i had 4500 in mind with a new MOT as that is due in Feb
I would probably get more for its in bits ie wheels hardtop and body kits etc but its too nice to break would rather it went to a new home intact ,im quite attached to this car but with loosing the garage it not practical to keep

Thing is, if you sell it as a whole, there's a very good chance the roof, body kit and wheels will be stripped and sold on, then the car returned to standard using the profits (and probably sold on again). So maybe it would be wiser to do that yourself?
Take a month or two over the winter to sell the desirable parts then sell the car as standard come the spring.
 
The wheels, if crack free, without weld repairs and without any buckles of flat spots are worth good money, but then you need to replace them.

The body kit is tricky as I’d imagine you’re going to suffer paint damage removing it, which is then going to cost money to repair… might be wrong, but I’d be surprised if it all comes off cleanly. You've then got to find someone with a damaged alpina that needs repair, or someone who wants to make a non-alpina look like one :cry:

Personally, I’d try and sell the hardtop now (winter is generally when people want them) and then have a think on the car itself until spring.
