Curious if getting bmw performance parts over say dinan, bm3, etc would look better when it comes time to re sell my car

[Smonkbmw]

To a private. Like minded seller possibly. And even then how do you agree on value of a used car and it's used Performance parts?

To a dealer, definitely not.

[Gen13 F36]

Nope. When I buy car I'm looking for something as close to stock as possible.

BMW m performance will increase resale value over aftermarket

That!
Including of course MPPSK and similar OEM upgrades, which I consider "stock", meaning OEM.

I for one would never buy a car with 3rd party tunes and parts. If someone should do experiments with the car, it shall be me and me only. Not buying someone's wreck.

If your selling OP... you better revert to stock. I mean, I won't name names here even people who sell stock car lies if it was tune before. Its called used car. Stock clearly wins in value when reselling.

Sounds like you are already counting down to selling. You are going to limit the number of potential buyers, and so the potential price you might receive for your car, if you attempt to sell with anything except M Performance parts on it. So if that is your concern then don't install anything that you cannot easily swap back off

[les anderson]

If you are trading in or selling to a dealership you will need to sign a form stating wether or not the vehicle is modified. Personally, I would never buy a used car that has been modded. I am looking for the car that was driven to church on Sundays.

Brutally Honest Truth: Whatever you do to your car, home, whatever, do it for you. NOBODY will pay a dime for the extras you have added, and will argue that a similar 4 tire car or 4 wall house (without the mods) is cheaper and will offer you that.

You will just get the market value of a STOCK car when it comes time to sell, unless you find that 1 in a million buyer that appreciates the customization, unfortunately.

Soooo... that being said, aftermarket exhaust + BM3 will give you better performance for less money, and the same amount of "loss" when you sell it.

Mods on this car hurt the resell value.

Mine is adult driven, no pets, no kids, no smoking, never raced and never modified car.

Partially true. MPPSK cars are more and more wanted in Europe, as MPPSK is becoming obsolete / unavailable in more and more countries due to new noise regulations. In addition, European 340i/440i produced in 2018 or later have OPF and are not compatible with MPPSK.

A 340i/440i with MPPSK is currently worth significantly more than an identical 340i/440i without MPPSK + the price of MPPSK 😉

Throw in a 3rd party tune or mod and good luck….. The price drops dramatically. I wouldn’t be the one buying it, for sure.

And of course people lie about it occasionally… but at least in most of Europe, there is a legal responsibility that comes with it… for an year or so after the sell.

Hey, actually dont plan on selling for like 5 years. Just got the car 6 months ago, and wanted to be real careful before I do any performance mods on the car (if any at all)

[whatevs]

I would only buy a car thats stock or Only if OEM parts are used.

So If I went the MPPSK route, you think it would actually increase the value upon resale?

I was also thinking of adding the dinan shockware software (for adaptive suspension, it adjusts your dampening rates). It's not an engine tune etc. do you think that one will hurt resale value given its fairly benign to the car?

I'm looking to keep the car as OEM/ m performance as possible

Got it, so mppsk would be fine for you

A car is not an investment. Do what you want to your car and enjoy it. It has likely depreciated in value from the time you started the thread, till this comment. It's what most cars do. I enjoy the car I have and when I'm done, I sell it for what I can get back. Not once, has it ever been more. Even on completely stock vehicles. I've only had 2 bmw's though.

For personal experience I bought a CPO car with the MPPSK installed at the port. From a price perspective it did nothing for the value of the car which was priced like other 435 M Sports, but it was a factor that lead me to choose it over other cars without the option.

I saw many with tunes or aftermarket exhausts. I wouldn't touch them.

I'm looking for a 440i GC xdrive with mppsk CPO would be a nice bonus to get so I don't have to buy the mppsk.

In the US- doubtful. If its not a check box on NADA/KBB dont expect it to increase value.

Are there existing tools for regular consumers shopping in the used to find out if a car's ECU has been previously tuned/flashed?

I personally buy all my cars, & have never tuned the DME, but if I was to lease something like an F30 or a G20, my first (and maybe only) mod would be an ECU performance flash!

Most mods are sunk costs.... unless you plan on parting out, my experience with this is that you can recuperate a fair amount of your initial cost if; 1) its a quality piece 2) high demand in the used market

On a tangent, similarly; new car options/features, (eg. sport packages, sunroof, adaptive lighting... etc) endure the same fate. - When shopping for new on the dealer lot, some of these add-ons can go for thousands of dollars more over a base model. - Fast forward a few years and compare the same 2 cars on a used lot (granted approximately same mileage) the price differential will not be as wide as it was when new.

Conclusion; Mod your car to your taste, buy quality parts, save money in the long game. (if you part-out)

Y'all are telling me if you're getting a 335 or 435; you wouldn't want yours to come with an aftermarket charge pipe? The stock ones suck and are known to blow. If I'm buying a used car and see one that has one that's a win for me. Bonus if it's an upgraded intercooler too.

Every N55 I've owned I instantly change out the charge pipe for aluminum. It's more of preventative than performance if anything.
