I am moving overseas and still have a 91 E30 325i SE auto 2 door-its sterling silver, 121k miles - full history (with all bills from new) and no mods whatsoever (not even rear speakers!), totally mint interior and very strong and smooth engine and box. Only issue is its had the front wings replaced at some stage with non OE items and dont fit well, so I have sourced two OE wings.

Been quoted £1000 for wing fitting, dealing with a tiny bit of surface rust on one rear wheel arch and then a full glass out respray- the job will be spot on as the bodyshop do lots of work for me. The wheels also need a refurb (15" BBS) which they will do- so do I sell as is for £1k or do I get it all done and sell for more-Question is how much?

I've always wanted to see the car totally minted up but time is short..

I know that mint manual 325i Sports fetch some serious money, as this example illustrates, but whether you'd do as well with an auto 325i SE I'm not sure. It may be worth giving the WLN guys a call to establish what your car would be worth in 'perfect' condition and then working out if it's worth the cost.

See what you mean..its just so nice and useable as is and I'd hate to see it go to rack and ruin- I am going to enquire about storage for it
