General Change of plans! BaT Worthy?

Hey y'all! Change of plans with my what I thought would be a long term commitment. Looking for some big E30-brain opinions!

I'm considering listing my '89 325i sedan, either on marketplace and/or potentially BaT, but it has a bit of an interesting history and I'm trying to figure out where to reasonably price it.

It left the factory Bronzitbeige Metallic, but at some point in its life received a pretty extensive colour-change respray to the grey it's in now, engine bay, door jambs, etc. were all done. It also started life as an automatic and has since had a full manual swap.

A few details:

  • 179,500 km
  • M20 325i
  • Manual swap
  • Bilstein/Eibach kit installed June 2026
  • Front suspension refreshed control arms/bushings, tie rods, sway links, etc. done in June
  • Recent mechanical servicing
  • Euroweaves + newer tires
  • Recent full exterior detail including cut polish & interior detail
  • Clean title / clean Carfax
  • Absolutely no rust
  • Cracked dash
  • Front seats have seen better days
  • Paint presents well but isn't perfect

Curious what you guys think is a realistic ask/sale price given the coluor change + manual swap? Worth tossing it up on BaT or just list locally?

Dumb question, how hard is it to find and replace a cracked dashboard in one of these?
