I've had my E30 convertible for nearly 5 years. I've got it how I want it and now want to move on to another project. I'll be selling it in the spring unless a decent offer comes up first, or an interesting swap. What do you think it's worth?

Spec (proper council according to Pete!):
Originally a 325i convertible
M52 2.8 24v engine, E36 box, M50 inlet manifold, Danthe engine & fan looms, lightened M20 flywheel, new sachs clutch, E36 M3 oil cooler
M-tech 2 genuine body kit
New cream leather interior with rear headrests a couple of years ago
Upgraded sound system - door pods, speakers, amps, sub etc.
Tech 2 steering wheel 370mm
Wilwood 4-pots calipers and Corrado discs up front
New rear discs & pads
Bilstein dampers all round
Lowered springs all round - rear -15mm, front unknown!
E36 steering rack
Loads of new bushes, ball joints, wishbones etc.
Alarm/immobiliser
Very good condition hood
Lenso Eagle 7.5x17" rims, Yokohama Parada 2 tyres all round

So love to you insult other people and their cars, p iss on peoples threads that are of no buisness to you.....

and

You pull out this Fully Counciled up, bright red piece of shit. You're and old gezzer man.

Brand new leather - is that from the dealers yeah? How much did that cost you? Any links?

17's - hahaha, it looks so shit i don't even need to say anything about them.

Door pods, amp and subs!! You're like 50 years old, are you trying to act 'cool'. Can imagine you, roof down down your local high st looking like a d ickhead.

Upgraded brakes/calipers?! What, for all that POWAAAAA.

Lowered spring - You done the conversion but don't know the brand? Why not just fess up that they are ebay specials.

IMO its worth about 2.5k and nothing more, obviously you'll disagree with that and expect loads more as will all your internet friends on here.

Haha 1timetwat. That's brilliant - you've obviously got an alert set for when I post anything....nice to be adored, but I'm straight.

You're such a cowardly little prick that you can't even post under your real username - you have to hide behind a fresh login as you're such a pitiful little loser.

Now fook off back to whichever gutter you crawled from and leave my already admitted council fest in peace! :)

I think you're right. Even though 1timespastic is hiding behind a different user name, he can't hide his love.

Do you think you're one of my 'internet friends' he speaks of, Pete?

Seriously.

You know how much you have spent attaching non-standard tat to your car,it's your property so you can fit what you like to it,but this does not add to it's market value.

Rust free,standard spec cars will always fetch good money,tarted up crap is worth as per my post.

Bit strong calling it tarted up crap.Wheels are not for me but looks ok otherwise.Its got the same mods as a lot on here.If it is rust free and engine conversion done well should fetch a decent price.You can soon fit different wheels and springs if you wanted. £3500 is my estimate. Good luck with the sale. :D

It's worth nothing on here! :D But sell it somewhere else and I reckon it's worth anything between £3500 - £4500 for the right person. :D

How you doing, Mark.
Can't see any images of your'e car atm, Internet is moody, but could be interested as
long as it's councilness isn't irreversible. :)
Any known rust issues?
Rob.

Any idea on your stalkers Id?

Hi Rob,
No known rust under the kit, in the arches or scuttle etc. of course they all say that, so it's welcome to any inspection. I'm sure all of the councilness can be removed - it's all a matter of personal taste and this is what I wanted to do with the car. I couldn't give a sh1t what anyone else thinks as if somebody likes it then it will sell.

No idea on who 1timetinypenis is - probably some puny little faggot who's looking for a sugar daddy to love him because he has no friends!

I've been looking at e30s for sale pretty much all year on the bay and piston heads etc, anything in real nice condition with an m52 and all the right bits normally makes very good money. I'm not a cab fan but plenty are so I would say £4000 ish if it looks as good as pics, I really can't get my head round why lots on this forum always jump to under value e30's?? Every other forum I've ever been on tend to do the opposite!
There are still plenty of people (me included) that want a converted car, i know we're now getting into realms of people wanting standard cars to polish and panic about incorrect wiper rubbers, but I drove my "is" for a bit before it was converted and you can stick ya "baby m3's" up ya ar5e! :D (little unfair but there is no comparison to the m52)
