if the body's good, the interior's good, its been maintained and with the lowering you changed the shocks etc, and the its a genuine m-tech... i could see you getting anywhere between 2500 to 4k for it.

To get top dollar out of it you need to be 100% original to spec etc.

I'd agree with £1500, what's the spec on the replacement?

With a fair bit of MOT/Tax on it, i would say close to around 2k
More pic's and info would be needed though

Would you all value it higher if it was a 325 ?

One thing that stands out to me as a potential "bad point" the front and rear look like Tech 2 or late E30 and the side looks early E30 and it doesn't all quite go together smoothly
I may be wrong as not seen in the flesh but that would make me look at it twice.
It still has alot of good points though dude so don't get disheartened its not a 325

Agree on the sides not looking balanced with the front and back. If it had side skirts to match the front or had the front and rear standardised along with removal of the eye brows and BKs.
Nearer 2k if the above was done.
I'm not sure if it really makes that much of a difference being a 320 over a 325. A decent cabby 6 pot is nice regardless of 320 or 325 - IMO obviously.

BBS alloys, either a full kit or no kit, and you'd be looking at 1500-2500 depending on exact condition imho.

BBS alloys, either a full kit or no kit, loose the black kidneys, chromed instrument surounds and eyebrows and it would be £1500 all day. closer to summer - on a sunny day - you could go for £2000 +

As above, get some tech-2 skirts (and bumpers) & remove some of the non-OEM stuff if you want to get the best ££££ for it...

As it stands? £1500 tops.
I'd recommend to get it as close to standard as you can and you may pull somewhere near what you're looking for.
Then ebay all the tat and you'll make a grand total of £15 grand from all the council types "surfin da bay innit"

If the E30 isn't for sale why are you asking about it mate? Also, zoners would all take your cabby (if you were looking to sell) as original as possible, you'd be better selling on Piston heads or car and classic to get nearer to what your after
IMO

Nice looking car mate - also as above, why would you ask how much if it's not for sale.
