It's probably worth around $15k, give or take a few thousand depending on location and condition.

I drive mine daily, but only on longer trips and never in rain or snow. I think its a crime to not drive this car unless it's a low mileage concours winner.

Look at it this way. If you don't drive it at all it may appreciate slowly in value, but what are you giveing up in order to make a few thousand bucks? My thinking is do with the car whatever gives you the most pleasure. That may be driving it every day, or preserving it in the garage. The choice should be based on what makes you happy. I try to balance the effort; I'm fanatical about keeping the car clean and mechanically perfect, but I drive it alot too.

There's in interesting article in Bimmer Magazine this month about a couple that owns two 3.0 CSIs. His car is a daily driver, has 250k on the odo, and looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Amazing.

: I too love BMW's I had a 1800,2002t2,325i,323alpina while I was in germany. Since I have been in the states I had a 733,535I, and currently a Euro M6 from California with 60,000 original miles. This car is one owner and clean inside and out except for the missing bosch fog light. How much is somthing like this worth? What value will it have if I keep the miles low in the future? Should I drive it dailey?
