I bought my BMW used last spring. While shopping I looked at 2 M5's in person, one had PPF, the other didn't. They had similar miles. I'm quite particular and had a very specific list so most cars didn't even make the cut to get looked at. the 2 M5's met the list of expectations, but one was out of contention immediately once I saw it in person; the one without the PPF. The rock chips were just a disaster on that front end given the low miles. It needed to be repaired at that price point. I didn't even ask to drive it.
I did look for that feature in listings, and few had it. I'd not assign a lot of financial value to it, but it will make a huge difference in how it presents to a buyer. That may or may not translate into actual value returned to the seller. My opinion, it will make the car show much better, but may only return ~25% of cost.
