help pricing a 540-6

[brodee]

I found a very nice one owner black on black '95 540i 6-speed. The car had the engine replaced under warranty at 30k miles and now has 92k on it. Full records on everything and I know the mechanic that has worked on it. Paint is perfect, interior is perfect, can't really find anything wrong with it.

What is a car like that worth in this market? I was thinking $12k. That sound about right?

Movin up in the world Brodee? I think 12k or less, sounds like a nice car though.

I've seen quite a few without the ducts, mine has them though.

about 10k if all maintenence is up to date and nothing is wrong with it. Looks nice!

Brake ducts came factory on the '94 540's but not '95's. I've seen a couple '95's with them but not sure if they were added or optioned.

Edmunds said $8300 private and $10,000 dealer retail. The engine may have been replaced at 30K miles... but may still be nikasil... which is still okay.

Blue book doesn't really apply on these cars, that's why I was asking about the market for them.

The engine was replaced with alusil, I saw the receipt from Beverly Hills BMW. What dealer would replace a nikasil engine with another one under warranty??
