I'm just trying to see what my e30 touring is worth as you guys see it
Befor I owned it, it was owned by a BMW master tech and all replacement parts were genuine - even the battery. He also did the conversion from 1.8 to 2.5
The car really does drive well and handle good, it's a head turner and I love it! But I have a lot of projects and cars and need to downsize!

Body

Alpine white touring
Rear windows black tint
Front fog lights
Manual sunroof
16inch staggered 7.5 and 9j Borbet A alloys
No rust that I can find - I have a coupe e30 so know where to look!
Deny on the lower drivers door and on the drivers rear arch - I may get these sorted before I sell

Engine

M20b25
6 branch manifold - not cheap eBay job
Serviced and cam belt before I bought it
Just had new PAS belt
Chipped ECU
Standard 325i exhaust

Drive train

325i gearbox
New clutch when engine was fitted
325i prop
325i sport LSD fitted - need to find out which from the numbers when I'm back under it

Brakes

Standard 325i brakes all round
Touring rear calipers
Recent disks and pads

Suspension

51mm struts with adjustable shocks and springs fitted
All ball joint sect seem to be good no knocks or clunks

Interior

Very clean 318 seats
Very clean carpet
Dash has a couple of small cracks
Underdash panel in good condition
Brand new black roof liner fitted by BMW tech owner
Very clean boot area including load cover in very good condition - no rips and retracts perfectly

Losing the wheels would make it a much more desirable proposition..

+1 this is true.

do you have the originl basket weaves to put on, plujs if you sell the borbets separately you will get more money overall, as if anything they will devalue the car.

I was thinking about getting some basket weaves for it
Price with and without the borbets?

yes i'd do that :)

Pick up a set of basket weave 15 inch wheels for around 200 with caps and sell the borbets for around 600. If the borbets don't add value to the car you may aswell get your money back for them or put on your next car.

Put it on ebay and put a 2000-2500 reserve on the car and see what happens.
