What's my SLS worth?

I finally found a nice E34 M5 and purchased it last week. The only thing that I don't like about it is the fact that the stock SLS went bad, and the owner replaced it with a new setup. I'd much prefer to just have bilsteins or konis.

So how much is the used SLS setup worth is there any interest in it at all? Apparently it's only a few years old.

the shocks are the main bit that is worth anything, but most people tend to ditch SLS as it is no where near as good a suspension set-up as the 3.8's EDC/SLS.

I ditched mine for H&R springs all round, and Koni adjustables all round, which was less than two SLS rear shocks.

So I guess its all about finding a buyer - i think the shocks are £350 each new from BMW over here but not definite on this....

If you are interested in selling I could be in the market for them.
How old are they and what condition are they in?

Yeah, I think I would be interested in selling them.

I'll have to look at the records, but I think that they are about 3-4 years old. I know that the right rear seeps, and the left rear doesn't seep at all.

Both seem to work well, but this is the only SLS car I've driven.

Let me know if you are still interested.
