1999 E55 Black 94K miles Chicago $20K
Unfortunately it's time to part with my prize. I'm the second owner. The first was my buddy in Cali. Here are a few photos. All the major wear items have been replaced recently. It's listed on cars.com for all the details.

Yeah, I saw that one. My car has about $15k of recent warranty (complete front end rebuild, a/c comp, pwr str pump, maf,motor mounts,cd changer, cat, O2's, etc, etc) and tune up work. It also has and '06 five spokes. So I think it's worth a little more. If someone has looked at a few of these and was going choose between them, I think mine will stand out. Most people know what it costs to replace this kind of stuff and most of the cars out there are going to need it after 7 yerars. If it takes a little longer to sell, I sure don't mind driving it until I sell it 
! Cheers!

Man, all that work cost $15,000? 
I've done alot to mine too but not drivetrain or suspension items yet. Doing the swaybar bushings this week and then the inner tierod ends next. I like doing mine by myself with a friend who is a master tech by trade. I can use his tools, use his jack, and use his brain all for a case of beer. I buy the parts of course! I am lucky though. I dont drive much, maybe 7/8 thousand miles a year. So spreading my repairs and upgrades over time is much easyier to afford.
Good luck with your sale.

Jeff, keep in mind a lot of the work was dealer warranty work.
They can really rack up the labor on things such as control arm bushings etc. Or 2k to replace a Cat. Speaking of bushings, I was going to replace my sway bar bushings myself and bought a set but then had done under warranty with the rest of the front end. So, I have a set sitting around if you are interested 30 bucks for the pair. Let me know if you are interested.
