Need your input on price of this E30 325i... I found this E30 325i for sale and would like to know how much would you pay for the car.

Paint is relatively in good condition with some light scratches but some 2" rusting on the rear end below the bumper near the tow hook.

Interior is clean. Drives good.

Here are some pics of the 1990 BMW 325i with 136K miles.

Uh, try in the E30 forum...

But I'd say $2,000-$2,300 max. It's a non-sport model.

A case of supply and demand... Yeah, obviously an oil leak... Will see more when I have it PPI'd.

$2.5k is on the low side. car looks in good shape, had relatively low mileage. the fact that it is not a sport model ("s") is pretty irrelevant. heck, it even still has fog lights and the lip spoiler. the sport model was basically stiffer shocks and springs (and a trunk lip spoiler). shocks and springs should be replaced by now anyway.

i would say $3k plus would be the range if i were selling it.

No, the fact that it isn't a sport model IS relevant.

The sport model not only had the iS front lip spoiler, trunk lid spoiler, etc., but it had the leather sport seats, 13-button OBC, LSD (big one), rear pop-out windows (for certain years), basketweaves, and a few other touches.

It looks like the car has aged nicely, I would pay 2500-3500 and still believe it's good deal.

It makes no difference if it's a sport model or not.

c'mon biggins... sure it does.. I mean wait. Mine is a sport model, but the only OEM 'sport' part left on it is the mtech1 wheel. hmmmm.. something to ponder.

depending on what you want to do with the car I would say its worth about 2000-2200. My roomate got his 89is with new paint, basketweaves, recent head replacement, cooling system replacement, timing belt, lowered with springs and bilstiens, 130k miles for 2800.

oh yea, cam seal is leaking pretty good there. common e30 issue. It is possible to replace it without pulling the head, but it requires removal of the timing belt and cam gear.

Exactly diffs are cheap, sways are free almost. Late model car low mile stick are in high demand. 2.5K in need of a valve cover gasket big deal. Timing belt been done and other maintance?

While I wouldn't want to pay that much it's worth that if it's in good shape. Seats thou are miserable. hate non sports.
