So it'll be the non vanos version of the M50, what's the interior like? Any extra bits like OBC etc ? Condition of bodywork?

Anyway, with the info you've provided I'd say £150 ?

BTW - I've just sold my J reg 325 yesterday to a guy in Leicester! Wasn't you was it ? :roll:

probably worth somewhere around scrap value (£100 or so) he'd be better off ebaying the pikey crap (alloys, lexus lights) and any other half decent or desirable bits and weigh in what's left rather than trying to sell as a whole for what is unlikely to be more than 2-300 on a good day.

you can pick up tidy, nicely running, t&td ones for £500 so not many people are going to want a slightly cheaper chavved up one they've got to spend time and money sorting straight away.
cheers,

Not a chance, once a chav has had his cheap hands all over it you will always be cleaning up after his mess, so you must to take that into consideration. Without pics and what you have said i'd be hard pushed to part with a couple of hundred quid tbh. Put pics up, it probably could be worth more.

in fact with a fooked engine its worth little more than scrap value so a ton would be fair id say.

Agreed, about a ton at best. My uncle scrapped an e36 4dr 320i in the summer - that was in better nick than this one sounds, but scrap was worth more then.

It's worth NOTHING.

Engine is worth nothing, panels, trim, lights, bumpers, gearbox, diff all worth nothing. I would consider paying £20 if it was landed here. Probably a couple of bits of junk like the Lexarse rear lights but even those aren't worth a toss.

Twenty pounds, no more. Not metallic green is it?

I have a tatty one and if someone wants to take it away it's free, ok maybe I can sell the clear indicator light clusters and m3 rep alloys but ultimately I don't think it's worth anything useful. So It will end up just being a donor steering rack I suspect.

I terms of something other than conjecture, this is my e36 320i and it wouldn't sell at £200.

You're welcome to it but it seems pointless if I'm going to steal the rack from it and I'm going to sell the indicators and wheels.
