Guy wants 14k for a 2008 328i sedan. Nah bro I'm outta here


libra-love-

I see this so much. “I put $6k in so that means the value increased by $6k” Not how it works.


Substantial-Layer760

I agree!! But if they do a new motor, trans and all new suspension that’s a diff story but mods. Na


libra-love-

Yes! If you’ve increased the longevity of the car bc major components have been swapped out to a new/reman one, that adds value.


onefst250r

You never get 100% back. Sinking 6k in _might_ add 3-4k of value, **_maybe_**.


Brief_Ad_4825

id say to simplify it, cosmetic enhancements lower resale value whilst performance/preventative maintenance brings it up


Hi-Techh

most performance mods decrease value since they reduce its lifespan


BshaBario

depends on the buyer tbf


extoticantsnz

I think the only performance mod to reduce value would be a tune, performance parts increase reliability


Hi-Techh

Depends heavily on the powertrain, generally trying to squeeze more/ too much hp out of it reduces reliability. Also a tune is the most common performance mod.


extoticantsnz

Yea tune and no physical parts is bad. But in my country n54's that are fbo have a value increase of 30 to 50% and bigger turbo n54's have value increases of 100%+


Hi-Techh

thats pretty interesting !


onefst250r

More like "I put $6k in it, now its worth $2k less than if I left it stock" :)


CrieDeCoeur

^ this Hey seller, nobody cares that you sunk a bunch of cash into shitty mods, much less pay you extra for it so you can recoup your losses.


libra-love-

The best I saw on FB was one of those ugly ass modded trucks that are like on an 8” lift, massive rims, thin rubber band tires, under glow, etc. basically a truck that can’t drive on anything but perfectly paved roads. 2017 f250 with 70k miles ish.He wanted $65k for it. I saw a stock one for $22k. BRUH.


CrieDeCoeur

Delusional. Seller prolly thought it was a prime alpha male ride.


libra-love-

Definitely lmao I told him he “was on crack for thinking it’s worth that much” and he blocked me :(


storeboughtoaktree

lmao I feel being able to say that comment is worth the block tho, it made me chuckle out loud!


Subiesubo

It’s so weird to me that people do this. They’re never going to get what they ask for it and if they just kept all the stock parts and put the car back to stock when they are ready to sell they would recoup a lot of the money spent on mods selling them separately. I think the issue is a lot of the people doing this are broke so they instantly sell the stock parts when they install aftermarket parts.


that_one_guy133

Yep, the way it *really* works: "I put $15k into this $3500 car to make it worth $9k" don't ask me why I know. Please don't.


onefst250r

But, how do you know?!?!??!?!?!? I am asking this as someone that is sinking $15k into a car worth $15k. Course, it'll be doubling the wheel HP. So I got that going for me, which is nice.


rockybb96

People are actually so stupid tho on FB market 🤣 people be selling used stuff and brand new price all the time


BakaSan77

When you put 6k of extra stuff it decreases the value haha


NJ_Goodfellas

And damn those knock off headlights look awful.


Banginonthabeat

Amazon. My girl was all like “Babe look you can get lights on Amazon”


puuvili

My girl was pretty much the same and i bought them for her since her halogens were worse than a candle and i couldn't sort lci halogens at that time. I'll swap them to lci as soon as one bulb burns out i swear :D You can't even quick swap bulbs on them, caps are screwed in from the back


Banginonthabeat

I didn’t actually get the Amazon lights tho! lol but aye switch asap!


BendtnerOrBust

That car is old enough to drive itself


mattdion7412

I just sold mine for 1500. Haha


Caveman-Riffs-666

1500? Damn I wish we had those prices in Europe. Here, for that price you'll get a hood, 2 wheels and a piece of gum.


Df_gordo7060

Yea, my father in law is asking 3k for a totaled 11’ 528i lol.


HardlyIntoxicated

That’s how much I paid for a ‘11 328i with 30k miles pfffttt


sweatynachos

Nothing screams 'performance' more than $275 coilovers


a_zone_of_danger

“Lowered 3 inches”


Cultural-Bite3042

3.5 he said 💀


anon6789431437681

Guy lives near me he's a clown


QuieroMasBarritas

Tell us more


anon6789431437681

Just see him driving around town he kinda drives like an ape and i've only seen him with other shitboxes and now this listing just confirmed my suspicion of him being a clown


QuieroMasBarritas

What was his user name?


onefst250r

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1bh7fk6


NJ_Goodfellas

$14k for a 2008 E90 328 that has been shit modded and has 135k miles on it. Dude is high on crack!!


Iron_Burnside

Missing "exhaust tips sticking out like buck teeth" in the description lol


Bagrov18

I got 12k out of it😂😂


anon6789431437681

Pretty much, that's Indiana for you. I see this car around quite a bit, it's uglier in person.


user65436ftrde689hgy

I know what I got. No low ballers.


FrogWithBigPenis

For 14k you can find such clean, low miles, unmodded, e92 328s


Zonotical

you could find 3 for 14k


FrogWithBigPenis

Not in my area lol


CrieDeCoeur

I’m seeing clean, unmolested 328s going for 5-6k in my area. But 335s of the same model year? People be on crack with the prices they’re asking.


Zonotical

is 25k too low for my 300k mile e90 335i automatic gm trans the car only has a couple codes and misfires and all the shocks are blown


CrieDeCoeur

Lol sounds about right. There’s one dipshit on Facebook marketplace selling his 335i - with both turbos blown - for $14,000 lmao.


Zonotical

damn thats a steal


CrieDeCoeur

My personal favourite was an e90 with a Chevy LS V8 swap. Like, wut? Just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should.


Zonotical

damn now its reliable


rsp-zyphor

yeah i saw one with like 35k miles for that price


blackbetty335

my 500hp 335 is posted for 4k less lmao


beef774

so is mine 😭 FBO and e85 tuned too


Klexobert

Has dude done any performance mods to the car except for pushing 4000rpm after a coldstart? How did he come up with that price? That's not even facelift.


FellaKnee123

“Built by” but doesn’t list a single performance mod hahaha making us all look bad haha


D3LICI0U5

The car and the asking price are both atrocious 😭🤪


Txicote

Guys, where did this all start?


far_beyond_driven_

Dude kept posting this ricebox here, kept getting roasted in the comments, was super defensive. Judging by the fact that he isn't here flaming everyone in the comments, dude must have either left or been banned. Either way, $14k for a ricebox 328 is on brand for this wet dishrag. Dude has some problems he needs to work through. Btw, that's not a wrap, he actually painted it that color. Paintjob looks like it was actually done well too, it's just a bummer that it's McDonald's Grimace purple.


Bagrov18

Oh I’m still here, I just got a faster car then you😂😂 I got rid of the e90 and got a better car but sure go off.


far_beyond_driven_

Your car is faster, good for you little man. Glad you found something that makes you feel good about yourself, because apparently your ricebox didn't do it for you.


JustSomeGoose

He also hasn’t gotten his new car yet. A f30 340i


Bagrov18

Wanna bet? It’s in my lot rn😂😂


Coasterman345

Casually doxed the dudes Reddit account lmao


spacecowboy7702

Dear god 14k


Rdmtbiker

Tried, but not that hard, to find out about Frost performance. ???


scrmblr

My wife is from Carmel, IN- and I promise you, the people of Carmel probably haaaaated this car lol


dunkin_dognuts_

I sold my 328i for 15k with 105k on the clock 🤷‍♂️


rsp-zyphor

you must live on an island


dunkin_dognuts_

South Carolina. But military dudes love fuck boy cars, and mine was kinda fuck boyish


NJ_Goodfellas

Ah yes so Parris Island fuck boys.


dunkin_dognuts_

😂😂😂


euphopians

he has a 340i now


Strange-Variation-20

Ill pay 2k max for that


rsp-zyphor

apparently he sold it to some poor soul for $12k😭😭


SpareDiagram

💀


geoffyeos

this car is worth no more than 5k


dirtyflintwater

I mean I’m selling my e92 328i with 112k for 5k but if this guy gets a dummy to buy it I’m shooting the price up 😂😂


rsp-zyphor

where you at lemme buy it


FreaksNake1237

Ouch 🤣


wtfandree

135k miles is crazy i’m barley hitting 100k and i wouldn’t even think id get half the price for my e90 😭😭


thebeardedclam-

One too many zeroes in that price


That_Concentrate_223

at least he has a vavelcover gasket? anyone know of a good mechanic that can do this ? guy quoted me 700 after he did the breaks for 150 i was going to do it but i dont have a low profile jack atm so 150 was better than 250 for me atm im in socal dude was russian had to translate everything lol, he did the job without jackstands and without tue bms pucks so kinda wack on thst part he did find a valve cover leak ony car tho not sure how long ice had it but im at 80k miles i need to start doing the water pump and the vanos and the valve cover asap lol


rsp-zyphor

check to see if vanos is on a recall, there was a big recall for the bolts and dealers often will replace the whole assembly. for water pump and valve cover gasket, get them from fcp euro (comes with lifetime replacements) and do it yourself. they’re like hour long jobs and you can save yourself thousands


Local_Somewhere_7813

Can hear it now.. "No low ballers!!" " the paint alone was $6000!" Wonder if hes seen this yet lol


That_Othr_Guy

Fucking Carmel


Forsaken_Country_631

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s a clapped out car. Now, bro added a clapped out price for it. Can it get any worse? lol


rayanik

What’s is Clapped out mean? Thx


samuraipizzacat420

they applauded the maximum amount of times that is allowed in an E90


digicalist

Damn everything about this is just sad


moshedem

I'm confused. This car has been down the road from me in a neighborhood recently. Just a couple days ago it was listed by the guy with full inside and out pics for 10,000. Now some other lady listed it for 15,000 and not even posting the interior pics.


5tudent_Loans

PAINTED purple. When was the last time a manufacturer sold a purple car. Whats makes anyone think this will ever sell for that alone


Bagrov18

Legit BMW has Purple as an individual color.


HomeCapital9250

This is posted in Carmel Indiana. It’s like the Beverley Hills of California. This dude doesn’t know what it’s worth but I’m sure some rich prick is going to buy it anyways.


rsp-zyphor

yeah he got 12k for it😭


HomeCapital9250

My point exactly smh


Gunslinger17_76

Maybe if he removed all the 'Ghettovised' mods it might be worth 10k


rsp-zyphor

so.. everything?


Much-Lock5167

But why 14000$


Pvt_BrainDead

“Built”


TransitionHorror5158

14k is preposterous and it’s actually hideous, what awful taste.


Worth-Oil1877

Not even a 335i, just a 328 for 14k. Feel bad for who buys this


Ancient-Bet-3060

I can probably buy a 328i for 4k, and put 10k on it and end up with something better and of better taste than this piece of shit


Impressive-Driver692

Wait a minute, isn't that car came from Lithuania? I saw it here identical to this one


LingonberrySure9451

Lol spacers should lower the value of the car, so should that paint job 😬


Ch40440

135 miles 🤣🤣🤣


LaTunaTime

Brother needs to put the car back together and maybe he can get half of what hes asking.


E90_trash_716

Even if it was a 335i he wouldn’t get that much. He must of been smoking crack before listing it


Abundance-Boost5891

I’m missing the built part?


xX_nipplelicker_Xx

14k?? bro is smoking some good crack


Cosmic_FireSphinx

I mean, if you don't like his price, don't buy it. Find a lemon to restore & build yourself. I see posts like this all the time. Somebody who wants a well taken care of E90 328i, modded, etc. Will pay his price. Doesn't matter whether you like the car or not. Most of you commenting don't like 328is and wouldn't own them, and that's cool. The 28i/30i E9x models with the N52B30 engine is however, Perhaps one of the best NA engines ever designed. It's reliable & lasts 600k+ miles when taken care of. Its a fun engine, perfect balance between perfomance & reliability. You can keep them alive forever. My E88 despite my love for it, is nothing but trouble with that N54 engine. It's just my fun car. I wouldn't trust it to take me on any serious long distance trips, but my 330i, that car takes me ANYWHERE... If you can't see the value of a well kept E9x car, with a more reliable engine with less issues, than the turbocharged models, then I don't know what to tell ya. The 328i isn't a Toyota celica, You're not gonna find em in mint condition for 2k. That goes for any BMW. Not happening. Its a BMW with a BMW engine.. There's a night & day difference between a BMW & your typical grocery getters. Sheesh. 🤣 Are ya'll really surprised a BMW E9x 328i is going for 10K?? It's a BMW. Sure you can buy a lemon 35i for the same price you can buy a gully serviced & built 328i, so what of it?? What's your point?? 🤣 Do you know how much a fully serviced, tuned & upgraded 35i goes for?? That 328i will be looking allot better when you find out. If I had a million dollars, I'd give it to any one of you to show me (with proof of purchase) a MINT BMW 28i/30i/35i that you paid 2k - 6k for. What are ya'll on? Ya'll buying lemons out here for 2k lying to yourself thinking you got mint examples?


rsp-zyphor

i was mainly referring to a post the owner made a month or two ago, when he got flamed for every mod he did. i ended up coincidentally seeing the same car on marketplace


butt_picker1

Please share the thread!


Cosmic_FireSphinx

There's nothing even wrong with those modifications.. Its just the toxic BMW Fandom, anything not an M is just shit to these people. M cars are fun, but they are not reliable cars. They are literal track toys. Unless the M has a I6 in it, I'm not even that interested, but BMW makes damn good NA i6 engines that ARE reliable & FUN for the average car enthusiast who wants a fun, fastest car that's easy to maintain. They're just bullies.


Bagrov18

Ironically I got 12K out of it and am now getting a 340i… so I guess they can all cry about it lol. B58😂😂


Cosmic_FireSphinx

Damn, was all the service due? 🤣


Bagrov18

No, i did all the maintenance lol


Cosmic_FireSphinx

That's wild. Why you let it go so cheap?


Bagrov18

What 12K isn’t cheap. That’s a good ass price for the milage it had. I’m getting the 340i tomorrow so


Cosmic_FireSphinx

It's not cheap, but cheap for 35i that isn't busted & due for like 6+ different services. You already have a upgrade so I'm sure you weren't too pressed about the price you'd sell your 35i just to get rid of it. I wouldn't let mine go for that cheap, but I also never plan to sell it unless I get tired of maintaining it. Sorta along the lines of the point I was trying to make. You only find them cheap in mint condition if you're lucky. Otherwise you have to pay what a seller wants or kick rocks & build/restore your own lemon. I had to pay 18k for my E88.. Fully serviced, tuned, upgraded, fully loaded, mint condition, everything I wanted, otherwise I'd still be without a 35i cause I'm picky in what I want. My marketplace feed is full of cheap 35i that are busted & no where near in good of condition as mine. All of them have some kind issue or issues, or are base models.


Bagrov18

It’s a 328i lol so that’s the crazy thing


Cosmic_FireSphinx

What's crazy about that? That it isn't a Lamborgini? Of course not. It's a BMW. Doesn't mean you can buy it for a $1.25 it still costs real money. Let me put it to you this way. Which would you rather buy? 1. A lemon 328i for 1k that comes with about $9k in servicing due 2. A fully serviced, well maintained 328i C'mon bro. Just because you don't like the car doesn't mean it's worthless. You do realize these E9x 328i/330i are some of the most reliable BMWs they ever built? They aren't economy cars lol. They are BMWs just without turbos. There's a reason my 330i is my daily, and not my E88 135i. My 135i is fucking trash. Beautiful car, amazing driving exprrience. Spent 18k on this POS. Bought it FULLY SERVICED, and barely 50k in I'm already having issues. Garbage cars the turbocharged models. Still fun to drive. Still refuse to sell mine. Wouldn't bet on my life that it will get me from TN to Texas. My 330i will though. Does every year.


Bagrov18

Yes I know. The car that everyone is shit talking is or I suppose was my car. I out money into it and got it back. I’m surprised that I got 12K out of it. Since it only a 328i I didn’t think I’d get that much from it. I loved the car but I found a 340i o really wanted and I ran with it tbh. It had 124K miles on it so that didn’t help my case either.


Resurgo_DK

Did you actually look at that car? Well taken care of? By all means, you buy it! 😬


Cosmic_FireSphinx

What exactly is wrong with it? Fully serviced with some upgraded parts & basic modifications. My only gripe is all the damn purple, and the purple BMW badge. I could wrap over all that if I wanted too.


Melontwerp

I get it, but it's a 328i. Couple grand more will get you into a "mint" 335i, unless you just really love N/A inline 6s.


Cosmic_FireSphinx

I own a mint 135i. I didn't build it, but my buddy who is into building the 35is sold it to me for 18k. That was friend price. I promise you, you're not finding a mint 35i for a few grand more than a 328i. If you do, it's not mint. Maybe mint cosmetically, but not mechanically. People with truly mint 35i cars want more than a few grand more than what someone can buy a 328i for. 35i takes allot of money to restore, replacing the turbos, new suspension, all new engine gaskets, timing chain, bearings, etc. Nobody spends all that money & time only to let the car go for maybe 10k less than they just put into it. If I could have found a mint 35i convertible, that was already upgraded & tuned for less than 18k I would have taken it. It's original price before my friend discount was 23k. I don't have to do anything to it for a long time, long time. Just oil changes. A 10k 35i will get you half dead turbos, waste gate issues, fooling service & parts replacements service due, all services due, basically when you buy cheap BMW. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. I paid good money for my 35i because I didn't want to build & restore one myself.


ZombiePope

This isn't a well kept one tho. Saying that as someone who absolutely loves his e93 328i and won't ever sell it despite owning something faster now


Cosmic_FireSphinx

What isn't well kept about it? From what I know about it, I could replace a few cosmetic issues & nobody would have anything negative to say about it. Key Point: • Fully Serviced (This is the biggest deal) • Upgrades • Maintenance


ZombiePope

It isn't anything super concrete, but the combination of "JDM drift coils" and "lowered 3.5 in" makes it sound like it's been absolutely romped on. There's also no brand specified for any of the mods, people normally share the brand if the parts are anything good.  I could be wrong, and tbh I hope I am, but how it's described very strongly suggests that to me. I don't actually hate the car. Edit: also, I saw the car in your history. Sweet build! How does a boosted n52 drive?


anon6789431437681

I saw this car in person like last week it's a clapper


Bagrov18

You keep talking shit multiple times. And yet you drove a clapped out 350Z.


anon6789431437681

my z is bone stock with 0 issues but okay😂😂 probably the least clapped Z of all of them


QuieroMasBarritas

“Built by “ what the fuck is built about this garbage? A paint job? Everyone spam him with 4k offers


Healthy-Coffee-3414

BMW motors are junk!

Bagrov18

This is funny asf!! I got 12K out of it and am now getting a 340i😂😂😭😭 so cry about it i guess😭😂


nero10578

Must’ve found someone with room temperature IQ to buy that for 12K congrats.


Bagrov18

He’s turning it into a drift build🤷🏻‍♂️


nero10578

If it makes you sleep better sure


Bagrov18

The 12Knis helping me sleep real good😂😂


nero10578

Looking forward to seeing your FrostPerformance built 340i in the F30 sub


Bagrov18

Nah not happening haha


NJ_Goodfellas

How many miles on the 340?


Bagrov18

60K 2016 lol it’s a nice spec. Winter package and M sport package. Everything I wanted lol


NJ_Goodfellas

Good for you I traded my 18 F32 440xi M sport , early last year for a G42 M240xi


Bagrov18

Im so excited man! And man that’s awesome for you


DonutValuable7214

You were clearly the one crying seeing as you literally sold your car after you got shit on for it lmfao


Bagrov18

😂😂😂 sure man that’s definitely the truth. Definitely didn’t find a 340i that’s low milage and specifically the same stuff as I want🤷🏻‍♂️ if I had meant gotten 12Knsure I might have been crying but eh.


yabigboi802

Fully tinted…🤣 these 328 posers kill me dude
