A 2007 E63 P30 with 120k miles
So, how bad is my depreciation??
Maintained as those who know me here on the forum, but it is after all an E63 with 120k miles on it.
I have no intention of selling, but posts like these tend to get the conversation going.
No mods beyond what those engineers from Affalterbach might have done.

I imagine somewhere in the low $20k's
The good thing is that you have a rare car that is hard to find (like a wagon) and well maintained. Also, it is not too easy for potential buyers to find many other candidates available for sale.

Just from my personal research, the E63 W211s don't seem to get that much of a premium over the E55s for anything other than being a couple years newer (in the same respect that an 06 E55 would go for a little more than an 04). If everything is in excellent condition I would expect to see a car like you described in the low 20s like others have said. Also, although options don't add THAT much to the value, some of the big options like pano roof and dynamic seats will add a little for individual private buyers.

I'm in a similar boat. Sell now for low 20's or wait and sell for mid/high teens. More importantly. What do I replace it with? Going to test drive some C63s soon to see if they wet my appetite but until the biturbos get in the 50s I might as well wait a year or two.

2006 E55
I sold my previous 06 E55 and regretted it completely. A year goes by, I bought my current 06 and I said I'd never sell it for anything, I love the car too much.
I drove two C63s, both with MBH headers and a tune. Let me tell you, I forgot about the E55 in a heartbeat. The C63s are just awesome and the sound, oh the SOUND with headers!
Stock for stock, I'd say they're just as fast as an E55 and they respond just as well to headers and a tune..If I were to ever sell my E55, it would be for a C63...a C63 BS would be ideal
Having said that, I probably won't sell my E55 for years to come...

Sold - 05' E55
Only mods would be a down pipe, tune, and wheels.

With high depreciation, once you buy it the best way is stick with until 200K miles. You can always replace it with C63 but how much you need to put up? other $20K.... I would wait until the E63 TT around $40K in 3 years.

Thanks for the comments gents. Low 20s seems the consensus. That makes the depreciation about $80K from MSRP.
Given I live in CA, doing modifications is a pain. Yes the Weistec supercharger is CA certified, but to get the most from it you need to change to LT headers. And I would already have LT headers if not for being in CA.
The C63 suggestion would be good, if I fit. I don't.
I think the plan is a 2014 E63S in 2017. Let someone else take the hit in the early years.
The alternate would be to do an engine and tranny rebuild with the Weistec add on's when ultimately required and shoot for 500kmiles.

Need to give you credit for plan A in my previous post. This is most likely.
