Ya, that's a $9,000 car.
The TD04 turbos, screams Ebay. And they are really hit or miss for quality, more miss than anything. If it where some reputable one, he'd mention it.
Hood and trunk go for about $2,000 combined.
The other upgraded parts, probably about $2,000 also.
So in that regard, and if that's the work you wanted to do, the price isn't that out of line. But it's assuming the work is done well and the parts are in good working order.
I would say the big thing to ask is if the injectors have been done; updated to "index 12"?
If he says they have, get proof. Work order from BMW, invoice for the injectors, anything that proves the claim. If they haven't, absolute walk away. They are very prone to cause problems on early N54's and there was a recall for the '07-'08's. Some later cars also got the recall but not all of them. You can look up the cost of injectors, but parts alone you're looking about $1,400.
Used differential from a slavage yard can be had pretty cheap. I'm an auto (different than manual) and I picked one up for $50 with 70,000'ish on it. Jump on carpart.com and search around you.
