Buyer beware, thats not a car you should be buying sight unseen. If it's the one I heard about, it truly was a terrible example. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrails 317 Report post Posted July 15, 2021 Interesting to see the prices of 318i autos in the UK market. Most are starting to go into the 10,000 sterling mark asking price. Maybe it’s the winter season but E30s seem to have gone into hibernation from trademe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 19, 2021 Wagon seems like decent value, but you would need to want all the extras. Wonder what needs finishing / interior. Could look good sitting on some Alpina wheels. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cammsport 390 Report post Posted July 20, 2021 Did anyone see what the 24v E30s sold for over the past 6 or so months? I lost track of them. Can anyone recommend a good valuer for insurance purposes? I have no clue as to what mine is worth. TM prices are all over the show and I dunno what's actually selling. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only 24v E30 I've seen in ages was the white one Ghost Chip bought but I think that was a little more of a project car? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I got it for close to asking price and although seems to be an honest car so far, it needs a bit of loving. @Cammsport let me know who you go with as need to insure mine as well.

I went with Star Insurance who gave no grief about the agreed value: AMI wanted formal valuation and AA weren’t keen without the same. No idea if Star are okay on claims front but was a piece of cake online to sign up after getting a quote. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haggisman 35 Report post Posted July 21, 2021 I went with Star with an agreed value policy and found them great to deal with. As I have a few mods on my car and an expensive set of apex wheels my valuation exceeded their valuation initially but I sent photos and a description to Star’s approved valuer in Christchurch who came back with a satisfactory valuation and job done. Star’s premiums are competitive and service great so far. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 22, 2021 Happy with Classic cover, agreed value of $15k on my non-classic E46, $250 excess, lowish premium and they asked for high resolution photos of the car which is encouraging. All modifications listed and no issue. Also paid out no questions asked on a brand new Msport bumper after a minor tussle with a curb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO yours must be $25k and up, it's very well-sorted (whereas most of the other M5x conversions been up for sale recently are 'half finished'.). If yours is certed, and as tidy (as it surely is), why wouldn't you be looking for more than 325i manual pricing? You'd barely be able to build it for $20K. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently insured for $14k, which last year felt absurd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Not so sure about the recent trend of people asking $15-17K for their 320i sedans 🤣 Edited July 24, 2021 by Sammo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently redid my insurance on my 24V touring up to 25k, given there have been a number of decent looking cars around the 18k mark. And as above, a look of people wanting 10-15k for their 320i sedans, or 15-20k for 325i's autos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gofaster 99 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 I also went with Classic Cover for both my GTi-R and the N54 converted 130i ( all declared). Happy with agreed value, premiums and excess. Upfront premium is only thing to consider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
