If you can get $5000 without any work take it!

Car looks nice, for you to get a lot more money you are going to put a lot more in it, and barely get back what you put in.

BBS wheels are nice, but you wont get back what you pay to actually buy them unless you are talking a cheap pair of OE BMW BBS wheels, maybe some 15" basketweaves.

I am assuming you are talking an Mtech body kit, which will be worth something if you get an actual original one, but again that will cost you a fortune to buy and paint and you may just break even on it.

Good luck whatever you do, but as others said do nothing to it and take the money. Or keep it and actually enjoy it!

haha its so cool to see so many people respond so quick! I shoulda have joined these forums years ago!
Its an 89 325E with 100k miles and near perfect leather interior. I already had it up on craigslist as is and was getting offered 5k for it when I realized I could probably make more than that with just a small amount put in... Any thoughts?
Thanks,

89 eta eh? wow, that's about as rare as that dude with the 1991 325is
;D

Nowadays, an original car in good condition is always worth more than a modified car. People pay premiums for good original cars because they want that time machine effect. Bolting parts onto it, especially any god-awful body kit, adds no value whatsoever.

Hey R3Vers!
I bought a 86 E30 for 1k from a neighbor and want to turn it into something worth some money.. Does anyone know if they even CAN be worth much? (besides the obvious value of the car to the automotive culture, they are amazing vehicles) I'm hoping to put a few thousand into it and maybe sell it to get another E30 (maybe the M3?). I figured here was the best place to go to get advise! Anything helps out, if anyone is interested I'll go more into detail about my plans so far.
Enjoy,

No, there is only one E30 sedan that will ever be worth a lot, and that's the 320is.

Enjoy your car as is/modify it to your taste for yourself and enjoy, or just sell it now if it's only money to you. Value alone at this price point is often not enough to hold your interest through the trials of PCH.

I think you should definitely put an m3 body kit on it. look at the products at eurostop. they are the...."best" in the industry....man.

I'll give you 1500 seeing as that guy with 5k is probably long gone. Recent timing belt?

I saw it first.

$1650 but it has to be delivered right side up.

[MrBurgundy]

sedans are only worth 3

[cheffy30]

you'd get a lot more advice if you posted more pics of the car and of course a few of your girlfriend. show some respect.

Find anyone with an E30 M3 and ask for straight trade.

Then post their replies here.

Started reading this thread to see what was up, continued reading in hopes of massive flames. I was disappointed. Come on R3v, what happened? We used to be so cool.
