Both of which were only considered a conditional value not for monitory value.

Strategically speaking if you're truly trying to sell this car then you need a better pricing strategy. Regardless of how much inherent value you may perceive in a new engine & trans, no financial institution will finance this car at around 38% over book value. In return no insurance company will insure the value either. Leaving about a $20K hit for someone to absorb. Put yourself in the buyer's shoes how much is the work worth, it it worth an entire cars value?

My advise is keep it and drive the daylights out of it. You now have sound of mind that this will go the distance... unlimited miles for 2 years!
PerfM3, your 100% right, but I just have to try to sell it. Also its no different if you were going to purchase a modded F10 m5 like the white m5 that is listed on here. At least your going to get a BMW warranty. If it doesn’t sell, I’m going to drive the hell out of it.
