Its that time again!...

2023 List: 146 E30s sold (75 less than last year +30% reduction)

Average of E30s, not including M3s $22,808 (-20% YoY)

Average price, by model:

M3 (17) = $79,647 (-4%)
318is (12) = $19,244 (+12%)
325is (9) = $19,428 (-2%)
325i (13) = $17,025 (+2%)
318/ 325e (5) = $12,050 (-15%)
Convertible (42) = $19,531 (+4%)
Touring (21) = $18,725 (+10%)
Swapped (16)= $33,692 (+23%)
iX (4) = $13,212 (-25%)
Alpina/ Harge (4) = $98,083 (+15%)


Generally every model that sold less, had a reduction in YoY numbers. Swapped cars are getting stronger money, but a pair of swapped M3s might represent the change there. Respectively the swapped M3s did not represent a huge premium over any other M3, especially if you factor in the cost of swapping and sorting those cars.

Lets see what happens with 2024

thanks for that. i'm super surprised the 325i essentially held value. i had expected a noticeable drop.

Is yours listed now on BaT?

Is yours listed now on BaT?

No, going to put in a new cooling system, blower, bearing, afm, OFHG, and a few other small items, and hopefully fix the driver seat to make it a bit more appealing first. Parts on order and its way too cold to work on it right now.
