Estoril/Dove E36 - pricing?

[Bent_remy]

They are a few E36's down her in Texas with around 60k for about $19-$20k. I think thats probably where the prices will stay.

This post makes me wonder what my 95 Avus blue is worth?
It was special ordered by the original owner with no sunroof and manual vaders and it only has 105K miles. I replaced the RTAB's and added Ground Control RTAB shims, new radiator w/ Stewart water pump, Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs, Eibach front and rear sways, Supersprint exhaust, Rogue tranny mounts, 130a alternator, BMW x-brace, 17x8 BBS RK, TMS drilled and slotted rotors w/ Hawk HP+ pads, front and rear RD strut/shock braces, heavy duty rear shock mounts w/ reinforcement plates, JTD undertray, OEM BMW clear euro taillights, and a Turner chip . It was completely stock when I bought her and still have most of the original parts and all the service records from the original owner and receipts for most of the items I put on. I had the headliner redone w/ the OEM fabric about 5-6 yrs ago and have a few goodies I haven't put on yet too like the OEM M3 Lightweight oil filter housing and oil cooler, and ZKW euro headlights. There's other items I put in too but can't recall them right now. I've been going back and forth if I want to sell her but love the balance of power and handling the e36 has and its overall fun factor.

You'd probably do better returning it to stock (though that's an extremely solid mod list). As cars get more "classic", more stock is worth more.

How much.... depends on miles and condition. If it's a nice example, with 105,000 miles, I'd think you'd be looking at ~$15,000 in stock trim. Find the exact right buyer, maybe $16,000 with mods. For the average buyer, probably less with mods.

Personally, I'd rather have your car with mods, as that's an extremely competent setup! And I almost never want a pre modded car.

the rule of thumb used to be $10k for a decent e36 m3. if you spend less than that on an you will end up spending that much to get to that number and more. i would say the number has gone up slightly, but can't really say what it is now. $12k for sure. fwiw the $10k rule was always true when i was shopping. i ended up paying $14k for mine and never regretted it once. best of luck.

Why did you sell yours?
