[smithy318i]

I have spent Ԛ£529.46
but i have recipts from new for Ԛ£4009.36 in parts and servicing

EDIT: Added the price of stuff i just bought/am about to buy.

[Wilson]

I have spemt approx Ԛ£500, inc buying it!!!!!!!

[Simon]

Since buying my M3 in January, I have spent about Ԛ£2500, mostly improving the car, about Ԛ£500 on suspension, Ԛ£250 for a service, Ԛ£600 on bodywork (still in being done ), Ԛ£700 on wheels, Ԛ£300 on tyres, Ԛ£200 on smoked rear lights, Ԛ£200 on smoked hellas, Ԛ£160 CF gurney flap...I'd better stop now....it's more than 2500...

Then the touring....I haven't really taken note of how much I've spent on it, but I've put on it since having it, 16" Hartge's, cloth sport seats, OBC, Cruise, uprated suspension, and it still needs attention....

[glenn]

i'm into five numbers now
still lots more to get yet!
i try not to think of it

[eko]

Ive spent about Ԛ£400 inc buying car!

[billyboy193]

i bought it for Ԛ£1650 2 months ago and that time I,ve spent

Ԛ£350 on bodyshop with another Ԛ£200 for next week (not compulsary just want it to look good!)

Ԛ£265 on full exhaust system
Ԛ£25 on a air filter
Ԛ£110 on a service
Ԛ£200 on tyres

thats it for the mo!

[naylor04]

I bought my car 4 years ago for Ԛ£3,500 and in the 4 years ive spent approx Ԛ£4240 (receipts for) not inc the price of the car , and to be honest
most of the money was spent on asthaetics, leather,wheels,respray,new rear arches ect, s.s exhaust rear section(scorpion)
Mechanically the car is sound although i need 2 front tyres and a new exhaust at the moment so theres another couple hundred Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£.

Funny thing is tis failed the mot for the last 2 years and one of my workmates has a rust bucket of a Nova (and i mean rust bucket) yet it passes his mot all the bloody time.
I think garages see the money ive spent on my car and think "hey-up, we'll fail him so he can spend his money here"
Well i aint go no blinkin money, thats why my car has sat in my garage for the last couple of weeks cuz i cant afford to get it fixed you w@nkers
Rant over dude

So in answer to the question

Approx Ԛ£4240 (reciepts for)

[Karan]

im not even gonna think about it....

my student loan for the past 2 years.....LOL

[nav786]

Sh*t loads. too scared to count it all up. including all services its gonna be sky-high.

[JAMZ]

OH OH...

awaits Bootyman's reply

better grab yerself a chair...lol

Nav,i hear yer m8,guess you would be getting pretty close to his compared to most of us anyway.

Carl

[nav786]

i have run myself dry mate. including what i paid for the car, its definately into five figures . i love it though

[JAMZ]

And so you should bud..


Its a work of art and very pleasing to the eye..i must say..

[320Touring]

probably spent about 1400 on it inc 710 for ins, so not too bad actually

still got exhaust to do,tidy up the paint/wheels, 4 new tires,possibly a new diff (i want more economy )

BBTB and Zone Wild chip still to be done (now that the brakes are up to the standard I require)

[HotboxDeluxe]

Ԛ£36.99 including
purchase price
a jetwash
some leopardskin furry-dice air-fresheners that smell like old lady flowers

[Zayyan]

Ԛ£36.99 including purchase price

Ԛ£36.99 including the purchase price? You did well there!

I think I beat you at Ԛ£16.99 for a pair of Xenon headlight bulbs (well worth the extra money over normal bulbs )!

Though if you include insurance for the year.....

[6potWil6pot]

More than what it went on Ebay (including purchase price)
But it went for close enough not to feel bitter and the rest i'll swallow as "enjoyment of the car" and did i!

Zayyan: Xenon bulbs are great! I had some on my E30, not as bright as the real deal but good enough imo!

[Toby_Unna]

mine cost me Ԛ£90 as a runner with full mot and some tax

but then i got this daft idea to put a different engine in and spent over a grand on it and IT'S STILL NOT FINISHED!

cost breakdown here http://www.tobyunna.com/ for those interested!

I was fortunate enough to have a friend of a friend of a friend break down in it 20 yards away from my house, he needed a car sharpish so I swapped him a Rover 220 that cost me Ԛ£33 from a trade sale. He was happy, I was even happier to find out it was just the fuel pump (which I had a spare one of). The extra expenditure was a rare moment of pride

Cheapest E30 I ever bought was fifteen quid's worth of henna red 316 auto 4-door. Oh, the crapness

[Zayyan]

A grand is nothing for that beast

I guess the effort involved might be worth a little more though....

[6potWil6pot]

Conversions are still so cool and i sold mine
It was all there too, no headaches, like a factory car But i guess doing it yourself is half the enjoyment!

[Jhonno]

currently only bout Ԛ£800 or so... but that is soon to change

[Turbo-Brown]

Gotta be a good 4 1/2K, and counting.

[smithy318i]

About Ԛ£450 on my old one (including tax / insurance / mot / welding)
I got the car for FREE...

[Andy_magic]

So far my E30 owes me Ԛ£530 but that includes the buying the follwing cars for spare parts and a head gasket set, front pads, 2 tyres etc.

1989 320i Tourer
1989 320i 2 door saloon
1986 525e shed

And that includes the purchase price of the 1989 320iSE

[E30BeemerLad]

have receipts from last 5 years which exceed Ԛ£8K, I paid Ԛ£500 for the car 3 months ago and have so far spent about Ԛ£350 on it.

[e30-320i]

350 quid inc buying the car

[JoeP]

I bought mine for Ԛ£800 10 weeks ago, since then I've spent;
Ԛ£110 - replacing sump gasket
Ԛ£80 - 5 15" BBSs with nearly new Avon something or others, AZ1?
Ԛ£20 - 4.5l main stealer coolant
Ԛ£!?!?!?!?!- Petrol!
She'll also be getting new oil, plugs, leads, filters in the next week or two. I've also got my eye on an M-tech wheel and some sports seats at the local scrappy, should be about Ԛ£100 for the lot. I also fancy some uprated shorter springs, what are the best value for money?

[player6]
