    depends on body style, colour and how much NCT is on it.

    E30s seem to be making decent money these days though it seems it is mostly the 6 cylinder ones that are in demand.

    so...2k would be a reasonable price to put it up for or go for more?

    I would advertise it at €2,500 to begin with with accepting an offer of around €2k or more in mind. If nobody rings then it is fair to say it is too expensive and you need to drop the price a little at a time.

    Have the car washed and cleaned. Take good photos of the exterior and interior with a proper camera (not a mobile phone), preferably on a bright day with a nice background. Don't forget to mention that it will be sold with a fresh NCT.

    Stick it up on adverts.ie too, it is free. Might be worth sticking it up on a BMW forum too as that is generally where an enthusiast would probably first look for on.

    Best of luck.
