Overlap in NADA Packages 2015 RT

I’ve been looking at 2015 RT (and a 2013) and the NADA values tool isn’t working for add-ons.

When you buy packages, do some of them exclude others or are they really a la carte? I k ow they aren’t all separate as my 2020 GSA I recall getting a few packages.

Example would be, Premium, Touring, Dynamic, and Comfort packages… would you need to order each one or is there overlap in features?

The 2015 I’m considering is $13K with 10K miles and “all of the available packages” according to the seller. The 2013 is $9500 with 14K miles.

Any input would be appreciated!

Packages are a means of bundling options. If i understand the BMW build system, each option can be configured separately or together in bundles. Even in bundles that were never advertised. For example, for my 2022 R1250RT the only sales option package available at the time of my order was the Premium package, but since the active cruise control and the radio were not being included at the time (due to parts shortages), my bike came configured with the Comfort, Style Sport and Select packages, and additionally the Audio System Prep option. The difference between this configuration and the Premium package was the subtraction of a radio and active cruise control. The MSRP was $1875 less for my bike than one with a Premium package. I got the radio installed for $500 meaning the MSRP difference was $1375. For the aggravation, my dealer installed a set of MotoX cylinder head protectors for free.

As you can see from my example, trying to price out bike values based on option packages would be very challenging. A dealer can tell you want options were installed at the factory by its VIN.
 
NADA is crude at best and is unlikely to try to value each of the dozen or so options or option packages BMW provides. I think the best you can do is look at the base NADA price and then add or subtract for what you think each bike has or doesn't have.

Also be advised that the two primary uses of NADA are to value trade-ins for dealers and "total loss" values by insurance adjusters so NADA is notoriously low-ball in my opinion.

When I’m selling or buying a used bike I go to CycleTrader.com and look for what people are asking for similar bikes. That gives you a better idea of what the current market is. Then apply factors that pertain to your situation. For instance, where I live anyone that buys what I am selling is probably going to have to ship the bike.
