It’s similar money that absolutely lovely refurbished silver Tech2 M325i finally sold for.

Nice, so it did sell. I seen it was offered on trademe after the auction expired for 44 or 45k - I thought that was pretty reasonable.

Yeah $45k - hoping to meet up with the new owner for a Tech2 session soon :)

This looks to be a nice tidy car, with nice options (those sports seats..) in a genuine $1 reserve auction.

Where it ends up price wise should give a nice indication as to the state of the current E30 market (which I think has cooled off considerably over the last few months, like the rest of the car market).

Went for $14K. More than I thought given it's auto - strong late bidding.

I want to say it was originally advertised at double that 4-5 months ago too?

$14k seems reasonable for a tidy two door with mint sports interior.

Market has definately cooled off in general, although apparently that Malachite Green wagon actually sold for $48k 😲

From memory it was manual converted. No sports seats either. 48k will buy you an E61 M5

Another free listing day on TradeMe means more E30s for sale.

1986 coupe, no engine, no gearbox, dead rego - $3k

1987 318i manual coupe, $24.5k for quick sale (was ~$27k)

Plenty of others, some quite reasonably priced and some more optimistic.

If it's the same one earlier on this page, then it doesn't look like it.

I wonder why he is selling it so soon.  It's a lovely car.

Yep it’s my one! Needing to free up some funds and with the majority tied up in the E30 it might need to be moved on - albeit for the time it doesn’t sell I will keep enjoying it :)

$3k for a not quite rolling shell...

It is a 2-door coupe I suppose which adds to the value, but i'd be wary of that "surface" rust that can been seen in the photos.

Yup - nuts. I know the market has moved on, but I'm not sure we've gone from complete cars that need work for $1500 to a shell for $3k.
