What are these worth? Full Black Aluminium Cube Trim Set For E46 Cube

[Harper 547]

I've had these for a little while and have gone back and forth a hundred times on whether I want to put them in my car or not. Starting to think I should just sell them since I think I prefer the look of the standard M3 titan colour trim. 

My understanding is they are pretty rare in coupe configuration, and these ones are in really good condition. There are pretty much no scratches on the aluminium parts and the undersides have some wear but are decent. 

This is a complete set, front and rear door handles, dash trim, and gear surround. I also have the elbow pads and the matte black blanking plate. 

 

I don't really know what they are worth. There is a set on ebay in similar condition to these but not including the lower sections or elbow pads for $930 NZD https://www.ebay.com/itm/275604628227?hash=item402b50e303:g:0RsAAOSwQAFjtUgr&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4ILR5Zugc8zSFN326gNF4Bim6NAfMx3hjWfP3GHNdNIKq68CYJBwHmALVMw6zn2ViNRKoClGgIOvowMaFh1bFAK4C0Q5iwDeR%2B%2B8%2B7Pck2gCoj0xYKaEYs%2F7C8srPHBcerR2R84BG5jPruWux5I8MxGOzfR1bf5pM3uxt%2FnT7EZuMklY2D7Nss8Jd0UvLcr0ouIAVT1MFatuBEaFnelBODSzckeGf%2FKZnRaQLflObusK1nvMkD%2Bx31q1bSIFiLnJ9gMtbTP1mNUApyz9uhzIA3lohVcKqbIoRjQTezepe%2B22|tkp%3ABk9SR7Cbt7G_YQ

Unlikely to be worth that much here but if anyone's interested make me an offer. If they aren't worth much I'll just hang onto them.

Assume subject should be E46 coupe not cube ? I could be tempted, in true kiwi Trademe style ... swop four wood 1's and kAsh yur way ?? haw haw haw

Hard to say what they're worth, at present I'm thinking in percentages of MFactory LSD's and $9xx is certainly a fair percentage of that.

I have them on trademe for 650.

Felt fair looking at other values and NZ being a smaller market for this kind of stuff and any less than that and it would have really hurt to let them go since part of me still wants them in my car.

Not super rare and came on a lot of Msport E46's. I would have thought $200 if its all in good nick but happy to be proven wrong! Hopefully someone pulls the trigger on your auction 🤞

Possibly, I could be wrong. At $200 I'd just keep it though 

It only came in msport cars, common in sedans but not many msport coupes with this trim, let alone many msport coupes being parted these days at all, the trims are unique to the coupe. 

Another price example, a very beat convertible set (different rear armrests) for 500nzd.

Another coupe set in average condition on a forum recently for 775nzd

Just to point out the obvious, but the ones for sale are because they havent sold.... The ones for 775nzd on the M3 forum for instance, have been listed for over a year.

Think I sold mine for $150, replaced with the rarer Piano black which I paid $300 for.

Mine were not as nice, but probably just keep them unless you get good money.

Yeah or course, which is why I priced mine lower despite being better condition 

Its an indication. I've had 4 people reach out to me in the 24 hrs I've had them listed so I think the price is close-ish, probably just a little high.

Open to offers of course, otherwise I'll just hang on to them 😁

Sent you a PM earlier @Harper just mentioning in case you've missed it. You know you want the bits to go to a good Auckland home where you can check on them from time to time 🤣 Will pickup also so no need to package, we all hate wrapping things.
