Hello, first time poster here.
Mods, I've read the rules and searched, hopefully this posting is OK, if not please move or close as you see fit.
My mother (yes, a little old lady in her 70's), has a 1991 3 series MTechnic convertible that she has owned since 1994 (she is the 2nd owner, bought it with about 10k on the odo). The car is a silver 5 speed, has the special wheels, handling package, appearance package, (including all the badges, skirts, shift knob, special cloth, etc.). From what I've been able to find out the MTechnic had an extremely limited production to begin with, and this may be one of 18 silver cars with a 5 speed transmission.
Mom's finally gotten to the point where it's difficult to get in and out of it and is considering selling, but she has no idea what it's worth. Any help in that regard would be much appreciated.
It has been her daily driver since she has owned it, as such it has the wear and tear you would expect from a daily driven car. It has 137k on the ODO right now, has been maintained/serviced on a regular basis, everything works although she had the power top converted to manual operation after it died about 8 years ago and the repairs were going to be prohibitively expensive. Timing belt and cooling system were addressed 500 miles ago. She has had two fender benders, both repaired by BMW dealers. Cloth Interior is faded from driving with the top down and the bottom of the drivers seat fabric has split, she put some aftermarket seat covers on over them several years ago. It's got the minor nicks, scratches, scrapes, etc. from 137k miles of driving. Unfortunately at some point the battery leaked so the tray is pretty much toast. I believe the car was originally sold by RoadShow BMW near Memphis, she bought it from the original owner in Paris, TN. The car has been in Middle Tennessee since she's owned it, has not seen salt, etc. Overall in solid, decent condition. I would guess 6/7 out of 10 for it's mileage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hopefully this album link works.
