Some decent parts to sell there.

Wheels
De chrome
Boot lid and spoiler
Leather (if it's good)
Doors look tidy
Engine?

Could fetch you quite a few quid on here or ebay.

As for the insurance valuation, who knows?
I'm not completely perfect.......there are some bits missing or broken.
But the weather here helps!!!

I think its worth just over a grand as its the SE spec. Would be worth more to a potential buyer with 15" bbs and a normal aireal. If the history is good then maybe approaching Ԛ£1500 on a good day. I would think your insurance would offer you about Ԛ£700 to be honest. They'll see it as an old bmw.

Start the frag fest after they have viewed it.

Hey man recently put my mint E30 in a ditch and insurance wrote it off and offered me shit all so i bought it back. I bought front valence two wings and all the lights and grills from a local breaker for really cheap and got it back on the road only thing is the new parts are dark red and the car is blue but who cares i got my baby back on the road. my advice do the same you will kick yourself if you dont. good luck
