So over the past year of owning it, things have changed a lot, and I now may want to sell it in the coming months. Simply put, I need to find out what it is worth to plan what to do next. thought it might be a little more rare due to probably being the only one like it of the year. Here is a list of the basics:

-1993 535i/5 speed
-black on black
-interior is 7/10; Rear headliner is JUST starting to sag, and the normal purple rear shelf, but thats it.
-exterior is 7/10; rear bumper cracked, missing window trim atm, and high beam has minor crack.
-runs style 5 wheels with semi polished lip and gunmetal painted centers/bolts
-just put Continental Extremecontact DWS tires on about 2k miles ago-has Carbon Cool Breaks put on with new rotors about 15k ago on all 4s
-water pump 3k ago-distributor cap/rotor, plugs all done 14k ago

The Bad:
-Dual mass flywheel is SHOT. stills 'works' in that you can shift fine, but you can hear it move around and rattle around.
-shift link bushings are done. shifter has play due it, but more of an inconvience then anything

And that is about it really; outside of the few cosmetic issues mentioned, and the clutch system rattling, its in amazing shape. any ideas on what it is worth? sorry no pictures at this point in time?

Miles? Other upgrades? Previous issues, such as head gasket replaced? Cooling system?

Oh wow sorry i forgot to list a some things, thanks!
-204k miles
-Eibach sprinhs 12k ago i think
-Bilstein Sports 12k ago i think
-did water pump 2k ago, and thermostat was replaced 10k ago; I only use BMW Blue with distilled water, though it is still mixed with the old coolant
-looking at the receipts, the head was replaced a few years ago with a reman unit from the factory (receipts to prove it).
-intake gaskets were done 12k ago
-all new vacuum hoses
-oil changed every 4k with Castrol and Mann filters

I'd say $3000-4000

EDIT: probably closer to $4000 because of the wheels.
