Value my E30

[RBWill]

I have someone interested in buying my E30 and would like an idea of the value of it. Spec as follows.

G reg
E30 325is Mtech 2
Dolphin Grey
127,000miles.
Cloth interior
All original parts + Braided brake lines and a new headunit.
Very little rust (under the bumper/boot floor corners at the rear has been cut out and replaced)

Bad stuff
electric mirrors left side only goes up/ down not left right.
Drivers seat is well worn, torn.
Few dings in the bodywork and paint chips on the front end and the laquer on the rear spoiler is coming off (See 2nd pic).
Last MOT suggested I replace the fuel lines and rear suspension bushes soon.


So what is she worth?
Thanks


I will add an interior shot when I get home but its all ok except for the drivers seat being ripped in the middle and worn on the right hand side.
(Edited to add pics)

Without photos it's impossible to price. Condition is everything with these.

[snakebrain]

1800-2500ish? Depending on exact condition, and assuming the bushes/fuel lines is going to be a bit of a bugger of a job!

I'm just speculating based on what I see these advertised for..

[mick_318is]

2 Door or 4 Door will be different also. Pics would be best.

[RBWill]

pics now up

[spp320i]

probably about 2000 - although is it a 325IS - imported?

I'll have it for a tenner...

[pac1982]

i would say about 2k if it looks as good in real life as it does in the pics, if not then around £1500

[dazleeds]

is this a proper is? if it is then i think 2k is a bit too low

[RBWill]

it is a proper "i s"

[spp320i]

imported? Are you in the uk?

[Fal_325i]

the 'is' version of the 325i is a south africa ony model, with aluminium panels and 5 stud set up.

[RBWill]

Ah thats me confusing things then sorry. I believe it's a UK model 325i Sport (that is what it says on the V5). Is that right? Is there a definitive way to tell if it is a genuine sport ? anyway here are a couple of interior pics to show condition of the drivers seat.





and one when she got hungry

I paid much more for my sport in the summer in roughly the same condition. Stupid? Maybe! Demand will always drive the price up for a good sport. Whats with the small bird hiding in the front splittter!!!!!!

[spp320i]

what colour is the headlining? A good way to tell a genuine sport I believe!!

ive fitted a few sport headlining's into standard 325's so not a good way of telling. best way is to get the last 7 digits of the vin number and ask a bmw dealer

[RBWill]

headlining is black or dark grey. I have a couple of friends at the local BMW dealer I will get them to check it out.

If you dont mind me asking, how much?
I caught the bird while going down the start finish straight at Castle Combe at around 90mph.

Nice looking car there, I'd have thought a special with ally panels and 5stud would fetch strong money. I got a blackbird wedged right down my left brake duct, and I once saw a ford PUMA with a robin wedged in the grill. Thought the name was very apt.

If it hasn't actually been to the Ring then that faker sticker could seriously devalue it, and vice versa

I'm no faker, the car has been a few times.

A 325iS was sold in Australia (essentially what you call a Sport) - they fetch good money these days. I doubt someone would import an E30 from here to UK though

[magpie]

wheres pete!



no obc,it needs one.

[wullie325i]

i wouldnt pay 2k for it especially as its needing a bit of work.

sports are over priced imo especially as most need work.

[RBWill]

what is an obc?

[Pepper]

On board computer

[RBWill]

the thing that tells you which bulbs have blown etc by showing a lil red light? It has one of those its at the top of the windscreen out of shot.

[Kedge]

No it sits where the clock is, they were an optional extra but a lot of people seem to think Sports had them as standard for some reason.

Did you get my PM?

[Driftben]

mine is in the same place above the windscreen.. probably all didn't go in the same place

[Kedge]

The one above the windscreen is the check control panel, think all 325i's had them, if not all 6pots.
