Time to update my Hagerty policy and I'm trying to determine an accurate replacement value. I'm sure it is under insured at the moment, so I'm looking for opinions from the community. I'd hate to think of trying to replace this thing...it's not perfect but it is pretty nice.
1984 323i, owned for 20+ years
103k miles
Originally ordered by a gentlemen in PDX and has been here since it made the trip over and was federalized
Saphire blue metallic repainted in 2000
Blue cloth interior
New factory euro bumpers in 2000
MTech1 kit
Ground Control coilovers and bilstein HD with camber plates
Reinforced front and rear subframes, camber adjustable rear sub-frame
S50 swap with ZF 5 speed
3.25 LSD
944 brake booster
Magnaflow center section with cat
Stromung muffler
Staggered Borbet Type B 16x7, 16x9
Small recovered MTech1 wheel
3 gauge cluster in center console, Oil pressure, oil temp and volts
Mtech dead pedal
Decent stereo with sub and GAS/Luke box
Probably a few other details but that should give you an idea.
I have an incomplete build thread located here: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...th#post6664230
Here is a similar car that sold on BAT in early '18 for $25k: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-bmw-325is-18/
Here's a PDX 323/M50 swap that sold for $18.5k in May. I've seen this car in person and it was pretty nice, definitively rougher than mine though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-bmw-323i-4/
And a couple current pictures:
So let me know what you think it would take to replace it. I'm thinking 35-40 but maybe I'm way off base...maybe the 323 that it started as would hold down the value, maybe the color is a strike against it or the cloth interior.
Thanks R3v.
