Comments welcome.

She's a stunner, one of the best, if not the best, 318i I've ever seen

How much would you be looking for with the mods included?

And what can tempt you away from such a car? I don't understand....

your car look nice, an is lip spolier and a black roof lining would look nice, good work mate keep it going on

Hi

Zayyan - thanks for the comments Obviously the car stands me in for quite a bit. However, as we all know it will sell for much less than the sum of all its parts (it is a 318i after all) which is what the poll is confirming to me. This is the price we pay as enthusiasts and none of us ever realistically hope to recoup our vast financial oulays in pursuit of our love for our E30s - it's not generally about the cash.

In terms of price I am open to offers with the looking as it does now. I know I can get something reasonable on Ebay for it.

If I do sell the wheels, leathers, s/wheel etc. all individually the value of the car will drop a bit but I can bank on a few hundred quid for at least 20 parts that I can sell on Ebay with no worries.

What do you think it's be worth as a bog standard, clean 318i with bottletops? The alarm will of course stay in and that alone was 300 quid.

The reason I want to sell is because I wish to buy a 325i Sport. For me, it's time to move up a gear I think and to a smoother long distance motor. I am tempted by various other rice rockets and the odd 328i E36 wrongness! but I want a pukka E30 Sport for now. Still gonna be a Zoner, it's pretty addictive stuff.

jb81 - thanks also iS Lip is on order but I am not that hung up about black roof lining. Mine has a very clean, non-marked roof lining as it is a non-smoked in car.

That looks really nice. How much are you after for your Baby...?

I'm after selling my Sport as I'm trying to 'economise'. Maybe we could come to a deal...?

It's really nice, I can't see you having any problems selling it.
Would be a great car for you Geeman, It's like a mix of your two to look at, but obviously cheaper to keep.
First dibs on your "is" Spoiler please
