question on resale value
if i replaced parts with other bmw original accessories/parts, how will that affect resale value, both private sale and trade-in.
i want to replace 17" stock rims with other 18" bmw rims. would this decrease or increase resale value?

It depends upon who you sell it to. If it's another BMW enthusiast, it would probably increase resale. If it's Joe Public who only sees a bunch of enthusiast accessories, he might be scared the car was driven hard and it will decrease resale.
Are you planning on trading the car in to a dealer or do you plan to sell it yourself? I'm not sure what a dealer would do, but they rip you off on trade ins regardless of the condition of your car.

OEM will not hurt you as much in a dealer trade. Non-OEM will cause them to stick it to you harder then normal:banghead:
The other Phil is right on target as far as private sales:thumbup:

when you say OEM, do you mean the parts/accessories that come with the car, or including other original bmw parts/accessories that are not standard?
