Nice pickup OP. Great price for it too especially with the goodies on it. Happy modding, lots of options for audio upgrades in today's market.

I'm not a fan of that unit as it sticks out of the dash like a grafted on tablet. Though I'm sure visibility on it is better than the one I run which suffers severely from sun glare.

As for appreciation, as with all enthusiast BMWs, the 4.6 and 4.8 will go up. Has already started. Don't think they will ever be truly a collectible high dollar vehicle excepting collection quality and mileage examples.

With enthusiasts, tasteful mods won't devalue the vehicle either. Which is nice. Seems we all tolerate "resto mod" vehicles very well when shopping, much like the classic muscle guys do now.
