I'll throw it up and mods can delete if required.

1989 318iS in brilliantrot.
120k - good history with the car
sunroof
interior great apart from small hole on drivers bolster
Rust on O/S front wing (5p size) (+dent)
Rust on O/S rear arch (50p size)
1year MOT, 5months tax, recently serviced.

Thanks.

The wiki puts it at ~£2k. But what people would be willing to pay.

£250 ill collect today

I'd say £1250, as there's probably £750 of bodyshop bills to come to rid the panels of rot and paint the O/S.

I would paint the full car as its red if its the original paintwork you'll never get it to look right.
If you just paint the O/S it would stand out a mile. red is hard to get a match on.

Simple question is how much does it weigh! Pictures please

Pics of rust or car?

There is 2 small pieces of rust, its not massive!

Will dig up some shots.

The Wiki also states that without pictures the car is worth 200 quid.

Also, the only way a 318iS with rust gets over two grand on the Wiki is if it's got some extremely goo kit on it.

Start 200
Model +800
Body +200
Rust -300 (2x 150)
Equipment +300
Wheels +300 (BBS 15")
Suspension +100 (bushes)
Tax +120 (6 months)
Overall condition probably 5-10% extra

£1806. I did say circa £2k

Does the wiki guide allow for the 'galvanized' shell on the 'baby M3'?

without seeing it and how many owners has it had its hard to tell, so bewteen £200.00 and £500.00 at the min

The 15" BBS are the benchmark wheel; they don't add 300 to the value, although I understand the Wiki isn't really clear on that so I'll clear it up. And if the car's got two rust points and a dent then it's not going to be worth 5-10% more than the Final Price; it's really 5-10% less.

All in, the Wiki estimates your car a lot closer to Topblag's original guesstimate of 1250.
