So for that non-E30 inclined folks, what's this thing actually worth? Went from $12k to almost $17k pretty quick.
As with everything....whatever someone will pay for it. You could build the car for cheaper than its currently at, but finding a clean shell is the hard part. Way overpriced IMO.
and just went to 21k

$15,000 would be a fair deal for the buyer. anything less than 12,000 would be a steal.
north of $19,000 and you have to start demanding an S52, LS, turbo, impeccably clean chassis or other value adder, from what ive witnessed.
aaaaand its in the 20's

Thats what Im thinking. It is a very nice car, but it is still just a s50 swapped e30 with bolt ons.
$23,750... seller is probably jumping around right now.

My E30 isnt nearly as nice as that one, but even though the performance should be similar between my modded M52 and an S50, i'd probably only get $7000-$8000 for mine , add an S50 and it would probably pull $9500-$10,500 on account of 0.2L an MPower beauty cover and the letter S. Not belittling the S5x but from a driver's experience a modded M52 in a base model E30 will perform nearly identically to an S50 swapped E30 M3 but for about 1/4 of the price.

just gonna go out to my garage right now and admire my S65. Final sale price is laughably overpriced but that's the BaT tax for ya

Can I sell my 135i on BaT?

Only if you're willing to accept $50k from someone sight unseen

exactly - you'd be leaving money on the table by doing anything less. People are fucking dumb and will pay extra just because it's BaT which means nothing like it did when they first started listing cars and were way more picky and thorough with vetting stuff. I've seen some ridiculously low-rent pieces of shit for sale on there which just proves how much they are chasing dollars instead of providing a boutique auto selling service.

Right? I remember 10 years ago, BAT has changed a lot....now you can list a 150k+ mile e30 318 with some bolt ons and it will probably soar north of 10k

To be fair, that looks like a really nice 318is, but It's not 'collector quality' and I certainly wouldn't pay 10k for it...
-
When you see that 200K mi E34 540i/6 got for >$14k. you know people are BAT s$#t crazy.
But, they do get a selection of decently sorted cars and a good group of people to pick apart the turds in the comment section.
re: the 318is. decent E36's are starting to get harder to find. they are out there just not like they used to be.

If you missed the last one, here is another
BaT must mean "Bring an E30"

And it sells for $14.4!!

Holy crap...
The one good thing I just realized is if any of us ever need to negotiate with insurance (hopefully it never happens obviously...), we can use these sales when arguing values

I'm really curious to see what s50 318 brings in now. By many measure it doesn't look to be as well-sorted as the 325. No 5-lug, odd color combo, only a partial repaint, basic steering wheel, nothing special about the suspension, and the list goes on.
I'd be surprised if it went for less than 15k though, if nothing else because the swap looks ok and the only rust appears to have not spread to body panels or frame rails.
Looking back at it now I kinda wish my E30 hadn't been a track car and instead had been a full interior street car. I love E30s but not enough to pay 15-25k for an s50 swap.
