I lo-o-ve estoril on a 4.8is, but I think you need to do some work on the price of a 100k mile E53. Best of luck with the sale.

Understandable. And that is why I stated after the price that it is Or Best Offer. I'm not expecting to get $19K for it. That's just a starting point. If someone is seriously interested I am sure they will make an offer.

I believe thats LeMans Blue unless its an Individual. Estoril was only on 02 and 03 4.6's

EDIT: I stand corrected I was advised that was not available after 03 on x5. Cool

Yes, Estoril Blue was a common color on the 2002-2003 X5's. The 4.6is to be exact. In 2004 a very limited number of facelifted 4.8is were produced in Estoril Blue.

Then the color was discontinued and changed to LeMans blue. That is why an Estoril Blue 4.8is is so rare.

If you know of anyone that might be interested please let them know. I am in the market for a new diesel and would prefer to sell the X5 sooner rather than later. Thanks guys.

Also if you guys have any tips on selling or know of other enthusiast forums where it would be appreciated, please let me know.

The best tip on selling is to start bidding with what your research shows as reasonable in the current market. The market for your vehicle at the price you are starting negotiations has spoken- with silence. If you want the market to respond with something other than silence, adjust your ask to be in line with demand.

For reference, my 2004 4.8is was only about $10k more than your starting/asking/negotiations price. That was with 11k total miles and was 2.5 years ago.

Again, this is offered as nothing but advice to your request for suggestions on selling. Not trying to rain on any parades.

Well it's not all that bad. You already have something very similar to my X5

I see where you are coming from. I don't think I'm out of line with the asking price though. This was just spur of the moment. I will be trading it in tomorrow if nothing gets done by then. I won't be taking much of a loss compared to my asking price so it's all good.

I wanted it to go to a member that would appreciate it. As difficult as this may be to believe I actually found a dealership that appreciates the rarity of the car along with the tasteful mods. This is the first time I can say that in all of my car shopping years.

I guess that might have come off a bit confusing since I put 19k obo. I already know that people never offer full price. I figured someone would offer me around 17.5k. I would honestly be willing to take 17k. Nothing less. If I were offered even a dollar less I would rather trade it in. The dealer is offering close to that number.
