What to do with my old E30

[Reidy79]

High guys,

Newbie here, was pointed here as the place for all things E30

I have an old (91/H) E30 325i SE

It has no MOT, the clutch has gone, but apart from that it is fine, has 148k runs well, however I have neither the money/time or inclination at the moment to get it fixed and MOT'd for sale

Is it worth advertising it, or would no one touch that with a barge pole? I am thinking of weighing it in, it seems a shame but I need it gone soon hence not stripping it for spares either

So should I advertise it and see if I get any interest, or would no one touch a car with no MOT and no clutch?

Someone will have it off you. As it's an SE there are bound to be some desirable items on it for someone with the time and space to frag it. Get some pictures up.

All depends on the condition of the rest of the car,

Where are you based?

[Jimbob]

I'm sure someone will be along who can offer you more for it than a scrappy, willing to either make it road-going again or to break for parts. Would help if you mentioned your location.

I've messaged you mate.

E30's are at an age where body work is probably the most important thing.

If it has good body work, then it is probably worth fixing.

If it has rust issues, then probably better to break.

The car is in Blackheath S/E London

Condition is good/fair I guess, the bonnet needs respraying I would imagine as it is more pink than red

I cannot see any rust, which I understand is odd

Not seeing rust is the problem, it's the areas you can't see that eventually seal the E30's fate

Pics? Spec?

Sounds like it would sell ok..

[Reidy79]

I have a photo, how would I post it?

[asmith88]

When you say "the clutch has gone", do you mean completely, or is it still driveable?

[alexdejonghe]

Sure its not the clutch hydraulics as opposed to the clutch plate itself?
