Random question guys. I'm not selling just now but I need to prove it's worth the money I throw at it to family and I know this forum is 100% scientifically accurate.

Got a '92 320 cabby with SE trim converted to an m60b40 v8. Works brill. With 6 speed.
Xenons, electric headlight adjust, heated seats, LSD, z3 quick rack and quick shifter, grey leather, momo quick release with classic OEM looking wheel, OBD 13 button, and new bilstein suspension. Roof is electric and general condition is pretty good with no rust. Runs on 15 standards.

What do you guys think it's worth?

Assuming you have done the conversion. Like most modified cars, It will be worth less than it owes you.
On a positive note , it will be worth more than a standard 320 ,which would not be hard !

worth less than it owes you but a pleasure to own so who flippin' cares

just tell the family to get over it

it's better than spend the same money at the bookies/drug dealers/wine shop/modern car depreciation/new kitchen/handbags

Exactly what this man says.

I've been looking at the market like a hawk for the past month or so, but I've not seen a V8 listed cab. Admittedly, I haven't been looking for a cab mind.

There is a v8 track car for sale going for £8k at the moment, so no less than that.

Asking and getting 8k are two VERY different things.....

Oh true enough. From what I can tell anything 4k+ is hanging around for quite a while at the moment.

What's wrong with a new kitchen? It adds more value to a house than putting a V8 in anE 30 that's for sure

I've seen a 12k v8 coupe go once, and also a 13k coupe.

Are coupes valued more than cabbys?

But yes, better than spending the dollar on handbags.

That v8 on ebay I'm sure has been sold before though. I recognise it.
