Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

I am getting indications of anywhere between £5000 and £7000. It obviously depends on who wants it and how much they want it, for example if it went to auction. More pictures are going to be uploaded to Google Drive showing areas which commonly rust but which are not on this vehicle, plus the identi...

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

I would just add that I don't spend time on forums unless there is a need to, so I am not in tune with the trends. Yes, the vehicle can be for sale with all the bits but, from the response here and on other locations, plus one person who has come from West Yorkshire to see the car, I am wondering if...

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

bryski, I feel you are taking an extreme and very black or white point of view. The point of this thread was made quite clear at the beginning. It is to inform that the car will be coming up for sale, to gauge the level of interest and to get an idea of what the market value might be. What is wrong ...

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

Based on the responses from this and other locations I am trying to decide whether to offer the car as is and sell the extras separately or, or with the special extras, such as the heated wing mirrors and looms and also the heated windscreen washers with looms.

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

I am sorry but I don't see what the issue is, or should be. What is the harm, and why should it contravene any rules, to indicate that a vehicle will be coming up for sale so that one can get a feel of the level of interest and also what the going price might be? Why can one not just put it about ge...

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

Thank you for the suggestion. It is not officially up for sale , ideally that will be in the Spring, but I need to get a sense of what it might be worth and the extent of interest.

Re: Very original E30 325iT coming up for sale

Thanks, Mart. I don't quite understand why it would be, '..unfair on other guys..' . Given I am not really planning to sell the car until the Spring it nevertheless is obviously sensible to try and establish what the market value might be. This has to be a very rare vehicle now, particularly since i...

Re: E30 325iT 3:91 differential.

Many thanks, Mart. That was really helpful. Yes, the tester said exactly that. So I take it you are saying that the diff structure is sufficiently robust for this not to be a problem?

Re: E10 FUEL ISSUES?

(1) Looking in Bentley's it's not clear which are all the flexible hoses (sorry, bad English) - for example there may be one from the fuel tank - and (2) I presume you buy by length and cut to size.

E10 FUEL ISSUES?

I am reading press comments about the problems which can be caused by E10 including possible (or likely) condensation in the fuel tank. My 325iT is now used most often about once a week and for short journeys so the the fuel in the tank is normally kept quite low. The fuel lines are original. The qu...

Many thanks, Brian. Yes, so am I confused about the door spec in relation to the year. As before perhaps I will only know when I look at the guts of the driver's door but I have a different major project on at this moment so that will have to wait.
