Was over priced at $9k and someone thought they could turn a profit. Sadly the classified is no longer available.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Haha. I remember saying how this was a base model shitter a while back. Nothing about it is desirable at all. Color. Interior and Interior color. 318. Sunroof. PFL. Non Motorsport. Non collectible KM's. Terrible wheels/hubcaps. Cracked dash. Dodgy electronics. Wind up windows. No AC. Poverty Pack. Also failed it's last two warrants. Edited January 15, 2020 by Driftit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it amazing how many people want them now that they are going up in value. But they were worth nothing 10 years ago. I purchased that off Shelly for $5K. Chucked on some $400 BBS wheels nobody wanted. Cut some rust out. Rebuilt the diff and changed the oil. And thrashed the living sh*t out of it. Now for sale for $12K more.

I almost bought that 325i MTECH1 but then the E28 came along. I paid $16k for my MTECH1 in 2018. Was looked after for 14 years by the previous owner with full history with Bm workshop. NZ new as well. Will I make any money on it in the future? Who cares, to me they are the next best looking E30 after the M3.

It's still a good one. And could be a primo example with minimal work. Well looked after E30's have still had the sh*t thrashed out of them. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. They were designed to be thrashed. That is also why we love them. Edited January 16, 2020 by Driftit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GNJ 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 Hi everyone, my Dad is the original and only owner of a 1991 E30 320i factory auto in deep red (slightly darker than the tomato red). NZ new, all original, paint and interior are in excellent condition, has a valid WoF, low Kms (less than 150K). The only blemish is recent issues with the seal of the sunroof which may require replacement, or just repair. What is a car like that worth on the open market these days? He loves it, and it is securely stored and only taken out for a drive from time to time, but I suspect he is severely underestimating it's value. . It is essentially the car in the attached picture, but with the original mags. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 27, 2020 Original E30s in good condition are becoming much harder to find, lots of them have gone to the big breakers in the sky, or been messed around with by previous owners. So from that point of view your Dad's car is a fairly rare beast this days and also pretty desirable for an enthusiast. The drivetrain is not the most desirable, the 320i is neither one thing or the other in terms of performance v economy and the automatic is not the greatest and so manuals get a hefty premium in the prices. On the other hand, the NZ New part and one owner (hopefully with lots of service history and maintenance records) with a reasonably low mileage will all be points to attract better money. Very hard to put a dollar value on it, more photos would be a help, of interior and exterior, showing any options which can be desirable - wheels, seats, etc. Do you want a value for insurance, or is your Dad looking to sell it? If he is in no hurry to sell then that would help, as there are those out there that would pay good money for an original, good condition example but it may take a while to find them in the current market. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is essentially the car in the attached picture, but with the original mags. Thanks in advance I would estimate somewhere around 6k+ depending on condition. You'd really need to provide some photos to get a better idea. It's a 4 door auto 320i which are usually not high up in terms of desireability. Red isn't the most desireable paint code either but there will be someone out there who loves it. Is the interior cloth? Are they sport seats? Are there cracks on the dash? Full service history? Are all the electronics functioning correctly, these are the things that will make it worth more than 6k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
