What can I expect to pay?

[dpmcdonald]

For a stock, nicely maintained 1989-91 318is or 325is? I have been noticing these cars on the roads for years and I think it is time I own one!

Probably 3-6k maybe more

About $3k more than they are worth. ;)

Just look in the "cars for sale section". It's all about specific examples, conditions and modifications.

[dirtydirty]

depends on condition.

[dpmcdonald]

Awesome. I appreciate the responses. I have been looking on craigslist and prices really seem to vary, obviously by condition and mods, but also by region. Does it seem that the PNW seems to demand a premium for these cars?

Spend as much as you can in the best sorted vehicle you can find. You will not regret it...

Min 5k. All of you who think these are still 2k cars are misguided.

Funny I just bought my '90 325i for $1800 few months back. 7/10 exterior an interior. 196k on the clock with leaking water pump. With little bit of patience and luck you should be able to find decent one for 2-3k.

and all you who think an e30 is a 8-10k car are smoking crack. Its starting to get as bad the 240sx crowd.

[eurotrash]

The harder it is to find one in decent condition the higher the price goes for decent examples. 240 crowd is the same deal. They've all been smashed and beat. Hard to find clean unmolested examples. The pnw prob has the highest numbers ( other then cali) of clean examples because we don't salt the roads and they last longer here.

I paid $3000 for a rolling E30 shell with a fresh professional respray.

I imagine if you found someone selling a car, and they didn't know what they had, depending on condition, options, etc, you could probably buy it for $2000-$4000. IMHO.

[nickmcc92]

Depends on location. $2000 and less with or without maintenance.

I can attest to this statement. I bought my iX for $2500, I put proabably another $2500 just to get all the little things fixed just to make it acceptable. If you have the extra coin just buy something that's already sorted, less headache more fun.

My $2k-$4k price doesn't include the $2k usual minimum to fix all the little shit. I was well over that just getting my red car reliable enough for daily duty.
