Is it me or what! I have noticed that there have been a few 325 (admittedly quite high spec - ie SE with leather) that have been going for quite big money.
I have seen 2 that have sold for more than Ԛ£1500. I know sports have always been worth the big money - but these are 'standard' e30's with more than 120000 miles on the clock.
Late last year you'd be lucky to see a non sport go for above Ԛ£1k
not that I complaining!

probably coz boys and girls like us are restoring them to better than original spec. and price reflects effort.
and the rest are fackin them up so bad the only ones left r ours...
which is nice.

People tend to buy based on condition and the spec of the car, if you have something like a mint SE with sport leather OBC mint cross spokes etc then it's gunna be worth not far off a sport.

Good SE's seem to be worth more than E36 325i's now! The sports arent far off 328i Sport money now.
Alot of cars on this site are worth good money due to their indivuality. Example being Demlotcrew's 318iS 4 door.....unique. 2.7 SE's and sports are worth alot aswell due to the fact that most of them have been kept well and to build something like that would cost loads.
Its nice to see E30's being worth so much, maybe now some of the people can stop being ashamed of owning such an old car.
I think in a few years E30's are going to be worth alot of money.

totally agree with m5pilot.
a standered d 4dr e30 is not worth much at all. Ԛ£1 up
you will always get a minter that someone will pay to much for but
to them its worth it .

Im with Sal on the E30 325SE's being worth more than the e36s. Its funny really, as e36 owners look down on us sometimes as they think we have the inferior model... but its our cars that are holding the value.
This is another nod to "classic" status i think.

Decent SE's certainly hold their money well, top notch ones sell for almost Ԛ£3k which is sport money really.
