The alpinweiß is a tough one. White paint lasts forever, cardinal interior is very desireable. I think it’s a $5k car, too many miles and not put together enough for $7.
Dash is a big deduct, glove box is another, wheels need refreshing, front air lip is gone and pricey to get a new one paint matched.My son has the 1987 325e, 2 door, 5speed
I daily the 1989 325i, 4 door, 5speed

I'd shoot for the Alpine/Cardinal one, much more desirable color combo, but I'd try to get him down into the $5.5-6k range. Looks like he's done timing belt, alternator, brakes, some other maintenance type stuff leaving you with a good starting point. Dash and glovebox can be replaced in one weekend (or an afternoon if you've done it before), you'd probably upgrade the wheels regardless, and a new front lip painted up is only a few hundred bucks.
Personally, I like cars that are as unmodified as possible so that you can make it whatever you want rather than being stuck with the decisions (often poor ones) of the previous owner.
