It's sterling silver 2 door with very little rust, the reason I ask is it uses oil, not lots but still needs topping up, it's done 203k but a previous owner had it serviced up until about 5 years ago at our bmw main dealer !! It has foglights and full tool kits and 14" BBS alloys and the interior is ok, but would it be worth selling cheap or breaking ? It has tax till december and MOT till june 07 but of no use to me I just had to buy it like a nugget cos it was cheap ! Any opinions please, thank you.

Would it be worth posting up in the for sale section for any amount ? I might put a 12 month MOT on to help it, any opinions appreciated !

It's a little tappety, but its ok I've used it to come to work today in Liverpool from Lemmy spa and obviously i've got to go home in it later, it's ok it drives good but when I got here I had to put about 2 pints of oil in it that's all. Round Leamington it hasnt used more than a normal top up of oil, sort of a mug full if I was to name an amount for a month. If it was in the for sale section what price, hard without pics I know but any help appreciated as I havent sold much on the zone so as a newbie in that department I dont want to go down in flames !

Where it goes rusty under the windscreen has been repaired in the past and there must of been a ding under the rear qurter window because thats had a repair too and painted but it's all ok besides that, getting good mpg from an E30 was a novelty to me at first but now I've got 6 cars some have to make way or me house will start looking like mickey carroll's house with all the bangers !

Breaking it is a total waste of time - it's worth nothing in bits. But stick it on Ebay with some nice pics - you'll get 300 quid for that.

Yes ebay is next after I offer i to the zone ! I had plans of world domination turbo charging V8's but with 6 cars (aka old heaps) I'd just be a tit
