Insurance value - Closes eyes, throws dart.

A real first world problem I guess but what does one insure a CSL for these days? Particularly one that has actually been used, and does not have a perfect history.

My cover runs out in a few days and I'm seriously considering going for a agreed value as prices these days have gone a bit daft. So. What's a 86K mile SG CSL worth these day?

Mine no longer has a full BMW service history and does not have the original engine. I guess this knocks the value down......But but the engine that was fitted 20k ago still only has ~37K on it. Does that push the value back up?

Also the car is due back from Redish today after having an extended rear end refurbishment. All new bushings, powder coated axle carrier, all corrosion taken care off right out to the rear arches, and of course the strengthening work done. Does that push the value up?

Also last winter it had a pillar down respray, with all carbon fibre bits refurbed. New front wings, corrosion taken care of, re-trimmed steering wheel. Oh, and it also has Alcons on the front.

In short, I always think of my CSL as a bit of a shaggy dog. Probably because it was like that when I picked it up. But in reality, when I look at it now, it's probably fresher than a lot of less leggy examples. Does mid 30's seem reasonable? Too high, too low? I'm kind of clueless and the regular classifieds give little guidance these days.
