Trade In Question Regarding Suspension

I’m trading in my M3 for an M2. I know I know maybe a dumb decision but I decided I want a coupe.

Anyways, the only mod I have that’s a pain to remove (will cost me a few hundred to remove) is my Eibach front springs.

Do you think it’s worth removing before trading in or just trade in the car as is with them… I’m guessing dealer won’t even know during the walk around and will only possibly find out during a deeper inspection (they will probably want to CPO the car given it only has 3K miles on it). Do you think that if I traded it in with the springs installed they would try to come back to me asking for money saying I didn’t disclose a mod?

Why don’t you ask your dealer? A few hundred dollars matter on a $70k+ purchase?

My guess is that they probably won’t even notice or care

Most dealers don't CPO M-cars, even with low miles. I wouldn't worry about it.
