Nice but it needs to lose those rep alloys and budget tyres for a set of mint 15" BBS and decent brand tyres to pull that kind of money.

yea i no those wheels are gash but i no they have the originals as well so you could still have an original car

but its all right advertising these cars for big money but it all comes down to what they actually

I don't think WLN would ask 2k more for this white 320i convertible auto than Martin Daly is asking, for example on the wln website is a 325i motorsport convertible with extended leather, metalic silver which suits a e30 far more than white, and air con ( a nice extra) for 6.5k. He goes on to say that the car was in such great condition they even had it on show at the local BMW dealer.

WLN may ask good money but he normally gets nice models in, old colenal or what ever his name is doesn't stick to unique models, he just gets what ever is in good nick with a low millage, so he has expensive 318i and 320i based on the condition and low milage.

a lot of dealers are jumping on the bandwagaon with E30's so expect repeats of silly asking prices for standard models.

+1, and at the moment theres not a lot of cash floating around for any car imo. even scouring ebay for a random, the amount of large engined cars that should be fetching a lot more are going for peanuts atm :?
