I'm pricing her at £2600 as a rough price as I'm unsure what they go for these days Mate, A mint 2 door may sell for that, but a rusty high mileage 4 door isn't worth anywhere near what you're asking.

180,000miles 15"tsw with brand new tyres 4dr bad points are surface rust on roof a few patches, some surface rust on boot lid edge, and some surface rust under drivers door wing mirror . previous owner took the cat off and took the inside out and put it back on so it sounds very tinny,ratterly on start up but sound fine could benifit from a new cat converter. a very rare bmw e30 4dr and hard to come by in such fantastic condition pics will be up soon but heres one for now. also I'm pricing her at £2600 as a rough price as I'm unsure what they go for these days you say "fantastic condition" but all those faults listed plus cheap aftermarket wheels don't say it to me tbh a tatty 4 dr with high miles - I wouldnt pay more than £500 sorry to be blunt (and I hope it hasnt offended you) but I'm only trying to help

Get the pics up ASAP fella as it'll make it much easier to see how good/bad it is.
Wouldn't pay too much attention to what people think on here,I've baulked at some of the prices people have asked for mk4 polo's that are rattle canned black and then been slated for pointing out that someone's asking double what I know their vehicles worth!!!
If it's priced right,it'll sell,simple as.
Good luck mate.

Yeah get the pics up. If it has all the SE toys and a years MOT - it's no £500 clunker. I've seen similar at around £1100 with no MOT.

sorry to be a p**k but honestly the roofs on the E30's rust from the inside out by the time it starts showing on the roof its f**ked its the sunroof tray that rots first then spreads to the roof skin.. trust me ive broke more than my fair share of E30's yeah yeah, what if the roof got a little scratch on somehow, that then started blebbing up? Then you would have a bit of surface rust on the outside of the roof. its hardly lottery-style odds that that could happen. You've not even seen a decent pic yet you have already decided the thing's got terminal structural rot. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

You mean "going quite well" as in having a fine time slating someone's car before two people butted in and actually made some valid and common sense points?
Yes, I didn't think it sounded great from the description either. But I didn't feel the urge to pull the car or the guy apart. A lack of response is usually a fine way for a seller to realise there's something amiss with what he's asking.

You mean "going quite well" as in having a fine time slating someone's car before two people butted in and actually made some valid and common sense points? Wrong! OP stated that he has no idea what his car is worth and suggested an unattainable price. Other members promptly provided useful advice. The OP took the advice and appreciated the friendly gestures. Then things turned pointless. All too often people on this forum take innocent statements to heart and make a needless issue out of them. This post is a classic example.

Well, whatever, I hope the guy sells his car.
TBH, I have the real opinion that when it comes to discussing the cost of a car on here it's up to someone who's genuinely interested in buying it to raise the issue.

okay I know as said the pic is worthless but cant get pictures up in a min any way the roof is about a 4cm long by 1cm wide and its surface rust because the person who had it before me has resprayed part off the roof but not very well resulting in water getting under the paint . so yes its surface rust and fixable.
interior is cloth but mint condition.lots off electric stuff ie sunroof,windows,mirrors ,computer etc pullup rear sun visor
yes I ask for advice but didnt expect to be slated for it because off my lack off knowlege. for the majority of you peeps who have helped I thank you.
I think for a resonable price would 1300 be correct ?? but seriously the car needs to be seem to be appreciated.
also I belive even tho I don't post here much I'm on the forum every day injoying all the tech info and common banter etc so this thread has gone a bit off the rails but I'm sure once a get pictures up it go right and I'm able to sell this lovely bmw and if the certain percentage off peeps who ant interested in the car please don't clutter up my for sale thread with your stressful day.
also could some-one let me know what comes with the se model so I can confirm

Are those old pics?
You say mileage is 180K but clocks say 166k?
Car does look nice. Those alloys, not so good.
