$3500-$4k. What's the seller asking? 4500.00?

Depends on where it's located and time of year. 5-6 in about two months but it's truely only worth what a person will offer.

If the buyer offers lower and seller won't accept then oh well counter offer. Sounds like it has a good amount of spare parts.

If it's as nice as it sounds, 5 to 6k would be a reasonable price. Pristine stock E30s are not easy to find.

FYI, sold for 3500.00 CA e30 http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=679614

I missed a 90 325is in even better condition with 120k miles last month for 3900.00. I wouldn't pay more than $4k unless it's super super clean and it has to be an IS too.

The glass "moonroof" is rare on US E30s - most had steel sunroofs. Also, blue on blue is a rarer color combo - like modern BMWs most surviving e30s seem to be red, black, or white.

I have a very clean 1992 E30 318i cabrio I may sell this spring - alpenweiss over indigo cloth.

Six months ago, I bought a one owner 91 E30 318i sedan 5 speed with M42 motor, 118K on it for $1.2K The car is in great shape but the car kept on stalling on the driver. The PO spent a fortune trying to figure out the stalling issue. The problem would never duplicate while in the shop. After I had it a week, it started stalling on me. I bought another 91 318i parts car for $450 with only 94K that had been hit hard on the side (and drove it home). Swapped out the ECU and my problems were solved. I now have a great parts car. I love E30's with M42 motors.

For a good listing of E30 pricing, go to the classifieds on any of the E30 forums. M42club.com or BayE30.net are two that I frequent.

About the same time, I bought a 86 325 2 door 5 speed for my teeenage daugher from Rob Torres of 2002Haus for $2.2K. It had a lot of miles (260K) but Rob is fanatical about the way he maintained that car and that is piece of mind when my daughter drives it.
