How Selling A Modified BMW M3 Can Cost You, With Hoonigan’s Vin Anatra | The Appraiser

[@AMAMBT]

the lesson to learn here is , modifying a car is for yourself not for gaining from what you did .

[@jareknowak8712]

I would pay extra for a car with nice rims, good tires and brakes.

[@fredd3.14]

and dont use the plate HOONIGAN if you wanna sell it lmao

[@rspectx]

Always lol

[@El_JayBubby]

Exactly, it's all about a vision you have for a car. None of those parts, Recaros, Volks, brakes will not be on the car when sold, and it will be haha. I would def sell the carbon intake and maybe even exhaust separately then keep what you want. Swapping and selling parts is part of the game and if you aren't you are losing money.

[@gavinr9107]

@@jareknowak8712 Same here Jarek. The mods compliment the M3 and improve it's overall aesthetic and performance. The majority of enthusiasts will pay extra, hence why you see ads where they advertise a lower price minus wheels etc.

[@Automobili3XF]

[@blue_lancer_es]

Stop tech trophy bbk is at 4400. For the rears!

[@grad0n]

I’ve always preferred the e90 sedan m3s vs the e92 coupes-the side lines and tail look much better. It is the true heir of the e39 m5. My dream spec is an interlagos blau 6mt slicktop with the comp package and w/o the nav. Of your mods, I’d have the eventuri intake, a comparable exhaust, comparable coil-overs for track, cheaper apex wheels that can fit 285s, and a cheaper brake kit. I know guys that would appreciate and use your spec at a track.

[@EinKerl3554]

You hit on the thing that always bothered me about the e90 m3s. They feel much more like an m5 than an m3 {not that there is anything wrong with m5s}.

[@aimDiego]

Vinnie is the most relaxed guy I've ever seen on camera, he's always like "I did it because I wanted to" and has the coolest "yeah whatever is cool with you" personality I've ever seen,for example, I don't think I could've sold the NSX, and he was like "yeah I had it but I'm done with it"

[@DC5Brandon]

Modding value comes from the satisfaction that the owner has something unique, or you've improved the car from the factory. I'm almost $20K on mods for my 12 Cayman S, but compared to a 981 GT4, I spent $30K less overall and driving a car which has slightly less power and is just as fun. I call it a win, win.

[@michaelmoul2252]

Went down the same path with my e92 M3. I thought about a new 718 GTS, with its last of a dying breed NA engine. But then I realized I already have a great car with a last of a dying breed NA engine. With only 27k miles on it. Paid for. Upgraded brakes, suspension, and a few engine mods and saved $50k in the process.

[@nitrobiz]

I have this exact same car except it is a '11 and Competition trim. As these cars become more and more rare, the value will go up. I've tried to keep the mods to a minimum while trying enhance the experience.

[@BoHorror]

Are you trying to sell it in the future? If it’s just for personal use, why not just keep the stock parts around and mod to your hearts content

[@nitrobiz]

@@BoHorror I'm not sure if I am going to keep it, it's just for personal use on day trips

[@tractioncontroldelete]

Great seeing the E90 getting some love 💪

[@Aspireonthego]

To put things into perspective, a remanufactured short block from BMW is close to $20k usd excluding labour, getting the rod bearings done is definitely a cheap insurance.

[@obsidian....]

Did you see his ultimate flip/upgrade with his Porsches? He finally made it to a GT3 RS. It was like 4 GT cars in a couple months. Just kept getting better years and finally an RS.

[@ruleslawyer]

Plenty of people who want a car modified like that. Not many people who are willing to write a check for it. Part of the issue is you almost have to find a cash buyer as a bank is probably only going to loan on the stock value of the car. Also its not an inexpensive car either so finding someone with that much cash will be a challenge. Most modified cars aren't worth selling modified. Luckily the connection to Vin and Hoonigan might generate some interest.

[@Lou-f]

Vin’s car are always so choice 👌🏻

[@MrTrollin86]

Le Mans blue is a great color. Nice mods. If it it was a single hump (not a Navigation dashboard) with a manual I'm curious the price difference in valuation it would bring.

[@joconnell3473]

On BaT the high dollar cars are always 6MT with single hump dash, Comp package and cloth seats. Opposite of how it was when they were new.

[@artk9360]

Hmm might be an interlagos blue

[@rsjet]

Why is the non-nav version more desirable?

[@Daniel-dg3np]

He's done all the right things to this E90 M3. You wouldn't sell this. Looking to the same thing but with ST coilovers, AP racing brakes, eventuri intake, ethanol sensor and tune, primary cat delete, lithium battery and Recaro SPG seats.

[@FreshlySnipes]

The older I get, the more I enjoy stock(ish) cars. I just bought a ‘22 G80 M3 (MT) and outside of an exhaust im not doing much.

[@SH-sc9or]

I've been owning BMWs for over 25 years and M3s for 20 years, including the E90 and to be honest it becomes a little bit annoying hearing people talk about "O, the rod bearings!" It's all about having patience and wait pushing the pedal to the metal until you've reached sufficient operating temperatures. Cool car btw, of which prices will go up. Although, I wouldn't sell it.

[@obsidian....]

[@wtfchazpwnt]

[@Broyale26]

How many miles before the rod bearing may need replacing?

[@MIKEZGAMER-g8b]

Nice bmw, clean mods, fair apprassial

[@lp9280]

Surprised no-one really, modifications and options makes car more desirable and easier to sell, but they do not increase the value of the car. So in quick sale situation it probably helps the price little bit as it can be listed and sold quickly at standard price without discount, where car without mods or modded badly would require to be discounted to be sold. Very rarely mods actually adds value, sometimes there are some mods where they automatically get their moneys worth, I guess bearings is one, sometimes wheels are as well, for certain cars there are certain desirable wheels and everyone knows that is extra cost. But things like brakes and exhaust - that adds very little value when selling. In short it helps bottom line, not the top line. It has always been like that I will always be like it.
