Hi rockonla,
I don't have the e30 new price in malaysia. But to give you some indication, new car price as published in Asian Auto magazine, Sept 1980, bmw e21
320 RM44,229. For 323i, RM50,058, insurance not included. Perhaps when E30 was introduced in M'sia (1984?), the price of 320i was close to RM50K...
White Nissan Sunny 130Y was 17k in 1985 (WBH 1602); Nissan Sentra now close to 100k.
So I guesstimate back then 60k is worth a whopping 350k now.
Me no finance expert lah, just doing simple multiplication and division maths :4:
Yup, about there. I remember keeping my dad's invoice for his '85 323i 2 door (150hp), baltic blue, BCE6766 was around $63k, invoice from BMW Concessionaires
Don't know much about the price last time, but i had one few years back which cost me around rm13k. It was such a nice car to have around. The only thing was there were alot of maintenance. Eventually sold it off for the price i bought. Damn i missed it.
Loved the power and the car's rigidity. BMW and its legacy..
In today's money, thats worth abt RM241k, based on 4% annual inflation. Coincidentally, thats abt the expected price of the soon to be released F30 320i.
