Questions

What is a BMW E30 325e worth?

The median 1984–1988 BMW 325e (E30) sold for $12,607 over the last 24 months, across 19 recorded auction sales. The middle half sold between $6,700 and $16,500, and the full range ran from $4,000 to $27,000. Mileage moves the price most: cars with 50,000 to 75,000 miles sold for a median of $21,750, and cars with 250,000 to 275,000 miles for $12,607.

Are E30 325e prices going up or down?

Over the last 12 months the median sale was $15,827 across 11 sales, against $7,000 across 8 sales in the 12 months before: a change of +126.1%. That compares every sale in each period, so a change in the mileage or condition of the cars offered moves it as well as the market does.

Where do these E30 325e prices come from?

From 57 completed auction sales of the E30 325e on Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, each a public record with photographs, mileage and a final price. Asking prices are not used. Special variants, race and project cars, branded titles, parts and museum-mileage examples are left out so they cannot skew a median.

My E30 325e was totaled. How do I show the insurer what it was worth?

Look up your car in the valuation tool with its year and mileage, then start the Total Loss Market Valuation Report from there. It lists the comparable sales with links, itemizes every adjustment in dollars, states what your color, gearbox and trim are worth, and opens with a letter to your adjuster. The preview is free and the report is $199.
