[Robbie]

Hello Advisory Committee,

I have the good fortune to buy 4 USED M5 Trunk Kit Panels.

1. Trunk lid trim------new 75.00
2. Tool holder --------new 51.50
3. First Aid kit panel, in bad shape (being thrown in for free)----new 135.00
4. Battery Box -------NLA

all panels are original from 1988, used normal wear anf tear
what is a fair price to offer?

TIA

I think they bring $300-400.00 depending on finding one and what the owner thinks of it.

300 would be very good for a nice one, the trunk panel is NLA as far as I know The gray one listed is the stock e28 I believe. When I was looking for one years back, they were over 700 IIRC . Luckily the previous owner found it in storage for me

You can do better than $300-400 for the paneling; all of it.

In good shape, ALL the panels can probably be had for under $250. Granted, the paneling is rare (some NLA); but it's only carpet and card-board, come on now. Not to mention that it's really meant for being able to carpet the trunk if you have a battery back there; which isn't necessarily what most 535s have..
