whats a 318i tech 2ed worth with m3 interior that's not running?

Pauls car is worth £1.5K for the sheer mintness of the car, running gear notwithsatding

rot free, all the right bits, even a black rooflining.

sorry dude, the car really is that tidy, I realise you'll want low priced opinions as a rule, but I'd honestly pay 1.5 Bags for the car in question.

At a guess, more in bits than as a whole car.

Tech 2 kit is 300+

M3 interior is worth a fair bit..

But a non running 318i is worth pennies....

Two KitKats and a Mars bar.

I don't come on here much now, but this would be my car right?

Ant, am i selling the wrong car here? (seriously?) I didn't actually realise that the 318i was a nice as your saying, but yes it is totally rot free etc.

Munky a non running 318i is not worth pennies. If it was sitting on cut springs with a home spray job then maybe it would be about the right figure

The car is loaded and would break back to standard for over 2k, so im not letting it go for little as you know. If it doesn't sell I will put it back to totally standard and keep it for now locked up in the garage where it sits.

Paul

Paul you wont have problems shifting that car for £2k - as a base for a project it couldn't really be better. No bodywork needed, which is a rareity now.

i am loving your work paul!!

what else is on the car ??

if its got 15" bbs's and decent suspension ( not jamex or similar wank lowering) then i'd value it at no more than one bag depending on whats wrong with the engine.

there's a decent looking IS for sale for 2 grand on the for sale section

Says the man who sold his white one for almost twice that.

Kos's car was worth that.

IS's are about 2k to insure.

we are talking about a 318i which is non running but had a tech 2 kit and m3 interior are we not ?? thats hardly a comparison to my old IS

maxfeild, cheers for the back up on my is, aby way if you forget to mention the "s" when you insure in its not exactly a crime !!

What about when i stuff it, 'We're sorry Mr Maxfield we will not pay you because this is car isn't what we insured you for'

Then came the tears...

true but you wont stuff it will you! buy a 1.1 fiesta, use that and build your e30 and insure it when you are 18 or 19 and have no claims bonus.

you'll have nothing but aggro from the police, you look so young and you'll be stopped every 5 minutes and not to mention jelous vandals scratching your car

Was thinking, nice late touring for a couple of years, and have an E30 or Mk2 golf for the track and save up for an M3

Or get this E30 i want Drop it a little more and some decent wheels on it

Please refrain from posting these sort of comments, Kos's car was distinctly different from the car in question.

id say abut the 1.5k-2k mark as well due to the condition of the car

how can a non running 318i be worth thas sort of money ?? even if it may have a tech2 kit and m3 trim but still !!

some one, any one , can we have the spec of the car please !!

very good IS's go for that sort of money!

Max, dont worry about scratches etc, why on earth would that happen to this car and not others?

Kos, brief spec:

Tech 2 kit
M3 leather
Tech 2 wheel
Mtech knob and gaitor
M3 door cards
Black headlining
Map mirror
Pop out windows
Re-furbed 15" bbs and new tyres all round and spare
Lowered 40mm all round on quality springs
New shocks
New disks and pads
New steering parts (most of it)
New bushes (lots of)
Small things like eyebrows, clear repeaters and indicators
Sound system
And a very good nick car that has had all the work done properly on it.

Engine has a top end problem, was a tappy one, now a tappet or rocker has broken, dont know.

How is it not comparable to your IS, engine is different (yes and broken), simply makes this easyier to insure for a 17 year old.

HTH

BEEF BEEF LOOOOL

GO KOS LOL

Good Working IS in good condition is worth lets say £2500

And then we have A non runner I with the Bits and bobs on how the f0o0ok will it fetch £2000 is say you break for bits and sell the rest as a project,
Mtech kit £300
M3 interior £ dunno??


Or u get another engine and enjoy the ride


STOP THE ARGUMENTS

He has a 325i sport, so it needs to go hopefully to me

There's definately two ways of looking at this.

1. The car is a non runner and has to be sold as such. This will detract from the price. I'd not like to guess where an ebay auction would end up for a non running car, morsels or no morsels.

2. The enthusiasts view. Some great strenthgs, a 2 door body in fantastic condition, some great modifications and oem extra style upgrades to the car. An enthusiasts will see it for it's potential. I reckon for relatively small money this would be a lovely 325i.

I'd say it's worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. If someone tried to sell me a 20 year old non running car for more than a grand, I'd be laughing hard and saying fook off!!

If I had 3k to spend on a e30, I'd be happy to have this for top dollar and use the spare k to source a better power train.

Im certainly not arguing!

Mtech kits with good paint work and all clips and mtech vents - 500
Been offered 600 for the seats and door cards alone.(by 2 zoners)


Im not trying to make the car out to be worth a lot of money or anything, at the end of the day max if you like it you can buy it. Otherwise im perfectly happy to keep it also, tbh im not short on the money side of it, so im in no hurry. Would just like to see it go to a good home.

Thanks,

Paul

thats a good spec, no arguments there. IF the the body is in good condition then depending on how you look at it, who's after it and what their intentions are its worth £1000 with no arguments if their intentions are to get in running. to get another lump ( a good one ) in there with a full service and belt change will cost about £500

Had a quote for half that

maxfield wrote:Had a quote for half that

well that was a top whak price , so what you getting for that £250 ??

Fit the engine with all parts needed, it included new cambelt, oil and coolant.

It would be more if a new clutch is needed.

seems strange to be why the owner doesnt just drop another engin in so its a good runner and then sell it for good money/

each to their own though

£175 Classic Insurance 318 iS.............Old Twat ducks for Cover

£800 for a 318i

is that on a full liscense maxfield?

Yes. Fully comp under my mums name. Well that's what I've had a quote for who knows what it will be like.

Guessing it will be more when i get my provisional

I almost did, but I bought a 325i sport and lost interest in this to be honest.

Maxfield has a good M40 to put in it anyway, and its miles from where I live, hence why he is after it, and there is no need for me to sell it with an engine.

Thanks.
