What is worth pulling off a 2008 BMW X3

Part of the 2006–2011 generation. A part that fits one year of this generation fits all of them, which is why prices here are measured per generation rather than per model year.

56 parts on this car have a live used market — 12 body, 17 electrical, 22 interior, 2 mechanical, 2 wheels, 1 glass — worth roughly $2,782 in total against what a self-service yard typically charges, and about 10 hours 49 minutes to take all of them. A further 11 parts we track have nobody selling one right now, so no value is claimed for them.

What is on a 2008 BMW X3

Alphabetical. The ranked order — which five are worth your hour, and what each one is worth — is what the sheet itself shows.

How these numbers are built

Each part's asking median is measured from live eBay listings for this generation. That is an ask, not a sale, and it is labelled as one. From it the sheet subtracts what a self-service yard typically charges — a figure to check against the board on the wall, not one pretending to be it — and divides by the measured or estimated time to get the part off the car.
