thinking of selling my pre facelift E30

its a 316 ( M10 engine)
white
bodywork not awfull but few rusty bits and a few smallish dents.

Interior isnt great.

exhaust manifold blowing a bit.

I have a webber carb and manifold to replace the existing piercrap carb.

bottle top alloys with good tyres fitted+spare set of standard steelies.

needs a drivers door lock.

120 something thousand miles on the clock and starts first time :)

tax until the end of april and MOT until September.

solid floorpan and chassis.

whats it worth guys, have looked on flebay but nothing similar.

oh and the reg number is ' D316 *** '

which is nice.

I guessed it'd be about that to be honest, if no one else posts thats what I'll go for.

reason for sale is I've just been give a car and afterFebruary i dont use my car much anyway, always on the bike:)

Looks like £250-£300 at best. M10 carb engine is slow, thirsty and tempermental. Some one might buy it as a stopgap but it's on borrowed time. As for the plate it is worth zilch,owning a 316 is hardly something you would want to boast about ! :eek:

Don't want to sound too harsh but its an undesirable model in an undesirable colour with a few issues. On the plus side the mileage is reasonable and its got a lengthy MOT. I'd say £200 tops.

Agree with Pete regarding the plate - people debadged 316's for a reason so I doubt they want a numberplate displaying its pedigree!
