Sounds easy enough a standard spring should be about £5 and only take about 20 minutes to fit.. With an MOT It'll be a whole lot easier to sell and ultimately more valuable I guess. Then you have the choice..

No offence to op but if it fetches 500 notes with 12 months mot i'd be surprised, can pick up a decent enough 320 (4 door) for that money. Only my opinion like.

This may be true, but a 320 gives shocking mpg for the performance.. and the weight at the front (sorry I'm just not a 320 fan

Sorry, as a 4 door 316i with issues/ rust and no mot it is scrap, will weigh in to about £70 .
It may be worth a try on ebay but i cannot see much happening there either

put the spring on and sell it straight away with the full ticket on it...
any car with the full 12 months is worth a few hundred immediately...

cheers guys, i know its hardly a desirable model but it seems a shame to scrap it so if i mot it it will owe me about £300 and as said any motor with a yrs ticket has got to be worth atleast that. Then all i need to do is find a 2 door 325 for the same money, lol.

At least I got the bit about being a rusty 4 door turd with issues and no mot right !
And that is what dictates the value or lack of !

they are about but will need work for that budget and if you are ok with a 4 door then you will have a better chance...
