Whats my Beautiful stock 325i worth?

[inka2002tii]

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I thought I would ask how much do you think my two owner low miles (under 100k) all stock 1989 BMW 325i is worth?

It is 4 door and automatic. No tears or stains in the interior. Looks new inside and out. Minor dings and scratches but thats it. Always a TX car and so no rust.

Dash has no cracks. A/C cools, heater heats. Sunroof manual crank. Starts runs like new. Tons of money spent recently. Have receipts for all. New Bilstein shocks all around, new radiator, new gaskets, new belts and hoses, new suspension bushings, new throttle position sensors, new new new bunch of stuff.

Anyway, just wondering what the car is worth. Have original books with radio code etc. I love the car.

I would say $3-5,000, but that is just my opinion. I'm sure you want to hear it is worth $12,000 though, right?

[AndrewBird]

I can see it going as high as $9000 to the right person, as many other similar ones have, but I think $3-5000 is very reasonable.

Wow, its the rare vinyl beige/auto tranny combo.

$3-5K because it has an auto...

Wow, its the rare vinyl beige/auto tranny combo.

With comfort seats!

Thanks for the input guys. I know it's an automatic and I know it doesn't have the sport seats but I own two BMW 2002s from the 70s and I tell you in 15 years that I have owned 2002s and thousands of 2002s I saw at different shows, gathering etc. I only saw two 2002 that were not altered or restored in this condition. Unrestored. I think e30s are becoming more and more like 2002s as far as getting butchered, dogged out or restored.
So, yes it is rare I think to find one in this condition and I have many more pictures. Actually, everywhere you open this car from glove compartment to trunk it all looks very very nice. Not like most worn out e30s that are everywhere all painted over and junk yard parts slapped etc.
That being said, I don't think the car is worth $12k but I don't think it's worth $5k either. Simply because I appreciate these more and more everyday. Right now I would love to buy me a unrestored 2002 in this condition but it will be a wishful thinking and so I think this car is rare. Not because it has beige interior or because it is an autmagic or it has non sport seats. If you are looking for those, go buy a e46! Not a classic.

It's a four door, four doors are always less desirable than their two door counterparts. If it were a two door 325i in the exact same condition, I could see it going for $6,500-8000, but a four door...

I personally like 4 doors. You can fit way more whores. But this is a cold hard fact.

Thats a beautiful unmolested car. But its also one youd have to find the exact right buyer to get big dollars for it. If it were me Id molest it with a 5 speed swap and enjoy it

:roll:

In all reality, not what you think it's worth. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty and in good knick. But, nothing there that's worth anything major really. Just a bog standard auto comfort 4 door that isn't nearly as rare in the condition as you think it is.. FWIW, it IS a good example of an E30, just not much going for it really.

I'd give 3k, and I don't offer 3k for E30's.

Also, replace the kidney.

That is clean but it is awfully plain as in it's a 4 door 'i' auto with beige comfort interior. I could see up to $5k to the right person. Hell I'd love an E30 like that for a daily driver.

You could get a buyer at $5-6000. Patience is your friend. $3000 quick sale.
