    What if it goes for more than 100k? two cases of beer? A case of beer for every 5k over 100k? :D

      well, i highly doubt this car will be coming up for auction or even public sale for that matter.

      my point being that there are old bmw's of this caliber that sell for those prices. maybe not to you or me...

        I stand by my statement. Besides I think Jordan will have over 50k in this build including his time when he is done. That paint job alone was a huge dent in his wallet.

        I don't want to clutter up his build thread with needless nonsense. Lets agree to accept each others opinion and move on.

        Regardless, keep up the good work Jordan.

          He traded the restored s14 for the paint job. I think the s14 build was a lot cheaper for him than the paint job would’ve been without it.

              The car will eventually be for sale and there’s no doubt about that but I have no immediate plans to offer it up. When the time comes 50k certainly won’t buy it as I’m in it near that much right now. I have a bunch of invoices next to my computer I have yet to enter into my spreadsheet but last I checked I was no more than two grand away from 50k away including my labor which I track at an arbitrary $50/hr rate.

              If you were to have a restoration specialist attempt to re-create a car of this caliber it would cost you every bit of 80 to 100 grand to build it without a doubt. What something will cost privately commissioned versus on a open marketplace to a secondary buyer are definitely two different things but over time I believe the car will appreciate, the 91 318iS being the most highly sought after non-m E30 and the lowest production model.

              The S14 I rebuilt and restored for Shareif was no bargain, I assure you with my labor loosely accounted for there are two digits before the comma on what it cost to build that engine. The important thing is he is very happy with what he received as am I. I’m always happy to do a little horse trading with a fellow enthusiast particularly between two specialists that accel at their craft to a degree that money can’t readily purchase.

                  Restored E30 prices of all models are on the rise. It's one of the reasons I didn't have as much heartburn doing the work I did to mine.

                  I can see this car going upwards of 90k

                      I think the overall cost of each job (the paint vs s14) the s14 restore is cheaper. But in overall value, I think the s14 takes the cake. Perfect trade imo and it’s good to see you can still do trades even in a concours restoration.

                        Small update for this evening. This is the first E30 I have actually plumbed the windshield washer system back into, where as all else I ripped it out...

                        New nozzles and clear braided hose... and of course oetiker clamps.

                            really? the 318is is the most coveted non-M e30 with the lowest production amounts? That's gotta be conjecture.

                              totally not conjecture. Sure, m20 torque is cool but this is the rarest e30, and clean versions will probably be fetching near m3 prices (circa 2010) in a decade or so. Okay, that last statement about pricing is conjecture but theyre definitely the most coveted in stock/restored form. Obviously thats beside any alpina, hartge or any of the unicorn e30s

                                So I was curious about this and the production numbers that are listed on this website don't line up. The 318is is rare, but if i'm reading these numbers right, the 325ix was more rare by a like 10 thousand units. I'm sure the numbers are all wonky, cause I can never get a straight answer.

                                I'm using this as my reference. I'd love to know the proper numbers if these ones are wrong.
