well its like this, ive got two young kids and im finding it a little impractical using my e30 cab, you know the score, pushchairs, two doors etc. Ive managed to partly pull the wool over my wifes eyes and suggested that a four door M3 would be more pratical.

Question is how much would my car fetch, she was born in april 1993,red 325 cab, black leather manual, gen 82 on the clock,PBMWSH and she looks fantastic. The car is totaly genuine no add ons,excellent roof.

What do you reckon ?

sounds good but need more details and pictures

93 build date? very late. I thought M20's E30's weren't built after the catalyst laws came in hence only 6 pot's on K,L plates?!

Apparently they only made 2000 cabs worldwide in 93 and stopped producing in may

You mean 4 pots, Simon?

Re the car price - from your description I'd say £4k wasn't unreasonable.

A little under two years ago i paid 5k for her, it took me 7 mths to find her and belive me theirs alot of crap out there, the miles then was 69k, ive just finished reading the post about reminding you not to lose faith in your e30 and every entry is spot on!!

I've seen a couple of 2.5 cabs on K plates.

I've seen two L-plated cabs in total, both 4 pots so you may well be right about the cat Simon (that's the possibility of a 2.5 conversion for me out the window then!?).

IMO a standard late 2.5 cab with that mileage is worth well over £4k. What I noticed when looking for mine was that the "casual" E30 cab buyer (i.e. not an enthusiast) isn't a fan of chrome turds and the price of the facelift models reflected this.

Darb don't buy an E36! An E30 325i 4-door (or even better, touring) may fit the bill and it would be a little quicker than the cab as well?

Barb,

I have the exact same problem mate. 2 small kids and large bugaboo buggy dont work in a E30 cab.

4k sounds about the mark.

Cheers Gareth.
