Alpina, Mmmmm.... That's a sweet car. We patterned my son's car after those, but ours is about an inch lower. Alpina rep wheels. Still big bumpers but tucked in tight.
How are ya Simon? You haven't given up on Alfas have you?
Where can we find nice seat kits like Ninestitch used to do?

2024 List: 169 E30s sold (23 more than last year +15% increase)
Average of E30s, not including M3s $21,815 (-5% YoY)
Average price, by model:
M3 (26) = $77,607 (-2.5%)
318is (10) = $16,835 (-12.5%)
325is (18) = $20,566 (+5%)
325i (23) = $15,113 (-11%)
318/ 325e (13) = $11,006 (-8.5%)
Convertible (38) = $13,027 (-33%)
Touring (11) = $13,900 (-25%)
Swapped (18)= $29,314 (-13%)
iX (6) = $18,080 (+36%)
Alpina/ Hartge (4) = $52,883 (-47%)
My thoughts: While the overall number of sales increase, so did the RNM, just a result of their business model. What stands out to me is that the specialized models; M3, Alpina, Touring, etc those 'rare' cars all dropped back to 'reality' levels. While the bread & butter 325i & 325iS model seem to have to dropped overall, twice as many were sold so I think these numbers represent a more realistic number of what the market sees as their value. In short, dont be afraid to 'invest' in your E30s because the market will repay you if/when you decide to sell. The questionable/ neglected cars all suffered more
