Alright folks!

Heres the 2025 list

2025 List: 174 E30s sold (4 more than last year. Just a +3% increase)

Average of E30s, not including M3s $19,126 (-13% YoY)

Average price, by model:

M3 (24) = $74,154 (-4.5%)
318is (7) = $14,627 (-13.1%)
325is (22) = $23,648 (+15%)
325i (14) = $17,477 (+15.5%)
318/ 325e (27) = $11,837 (+7.5%)
Convertible (54) = $15,667 (+58%)
Touring (6) = $22,019 (-25%)
Swapped (9)= $33,000 (+12.5%)
iX (7) = $13,857 (-23.3%)
Other (2) = $20,000
Alpina/ Hartge (1) = $17,000

Biggest thing I noticed is that Convertibles, and Tourings seem to live in the same 15-20k zone ... M42 cars are dropping while the M20 cars are staying strong.

only 8 hours left and bidding is still under $4,000 - an absolute steal for the $30k I put into the car. Check it out and maybe help clear this dark cloud over Christmas

$30k could've been spent to make it as original as possible.

Dang, tough sale …. It’s tough to find someone who appreciates the work that goes into these and getting some kind of return on your work.

Ouch!

Not sure if this is the place to post, but my cabrio just went live on Cars & Bids last night:

Very sad to see it go - I spent so many years working on building the car exactly how I'd want it only to have to move out of the country and leave it behind as soon as it was "finished"
