Leaning towards selling this as I am losing motivation to do what I had planned. It is unfortunately de-registered as i let the rego lapse. Everything works as it should, I still take it for a quick drive every now and then to keep things moving. Last WOF went well (a few years ago) with only one tire needing replacement. No leaks from anywhere which was reassuring when i moved it out of the garage after sitting for a few months. Interior in average condition and drivers seat is tan cloth where as the rest are grey cloth. Automatic gearbox 177000 miles Comes with: An extra set of wheels (14" Bottle caps) with good tread, A full set of lowering springs and standard springs. As you can see the back of the car has standard springs in and there at present and there are Jamex lows (could be super lows) in the front. IS fibre glass lip horribly installed by myself M-tech 2 rear spoiler and bumper come with car. Bumper is fibre glass. 17" wheels 3 spoke steering wheel - comes with standard 4 spoke as well. Oil changed 6 months ago and have driven less than 50km since. Engine was replaced before my time, have paperwork for a lot of work done to the car but no proof of what the K's are on the current motor. No idea what I could get for this as E30's are all over the show price wise, so if the right offer comes I will part with it but if not, I may keep it tucked away for a while longer...... That being said, I think I need to put a price here as I got told off last time for not doing so, soooo I dunno......3K???????? Get those offers in! Located in Christchurch

New-ish member here, onto my third BMW wagon, this one is a significant step up in performance from my previous E46 318i and E91 320i - loving the 6 cylinder, diesel a bit rough sounding at low speeds but goes like the proverbial when you put your foot down in sport.

I installed the refurbished injectors (PITA) and new fuel filter and took her out for a spin... and wow, the beast is back! I'm actually quite stunned with how the car feels, drives and sounds now, it's almost a different machine. And no codes! First, there's no hesitation, idle is smoother, there's no unburnt fuel smell in the engine bay and the exhaust smells almost neutral (used to smell rich). The pickup on throttle is far quicker and the sound on WOT is rabid, the good old M3 rasp is back in spades. I'm quite surprised at how much better it feels (and sounds - I didn't expect that). The injectors really needed a service, 2 were at ~85% flow and another 3 were at ~90% flow which really is far from optimal. The amount of sediment that came out of the lines and filter was also quite impressive (i.e bad). Injectors went into place quickly enough but getting the back two clips on (6th injector and fuel rail clips) took me as long as the rest of the job, really difficult access. But hey, the engine bay isn't full of fuel so that's a good sign. Phil at InjectorTech (http://www.injectortech.co.nz/) did a really good job and even fixed a broken injector for me, nice one, highly recommended. Fuel filter was a cinch once I worked out how to decouple the Dorman connectors (I think that's what they are). No tube and clamp setup here like a "normal" e36, mine (and I suspect all M3's) has fancy-pants couplings. The good thing is they go back on so easily with a reassuring 'click' to confirm they're engaged and sealed. It actually took me longer to get the (extended) under panel off and back on than it did to swap out the filter. Front bumper is also back on with all new fixings and cracked front fog lamp swapped with a good one out of the 328. So, back on the road after ~6 weeks and well deserving of a good wash and clean which she'll get tomorrow. Front strut bar is at the powder coaters for a matt black finish rather than the shiny anodised finish it has now. Next? Install the alu radiator which I need to get out of the 328 first. Have the replacement for the 328 and now the M3 is up and running I might tackle that this weekend. Then? Probably a steering rack swap from purple tag to Z3 which I have sitting in the garage.

Anyone else on here going to this event? It’ll be my first attempt at track driving so pretty pumped!

Best to just run some new hose.

Yep I'm going with the M5, just checked that my insurance covers it which it does...

What condition is your battery in?

Oh, the irony.

Hi Guys, I've just sold my E46 M3 and now looking for an E90 Sedan M3. Ideally manual, sunroof, NZ new and with a service history. I know there were quite a few of this spec sold NZ New but I just haven't seen them come up for sale again for a while. If anyone has one, or knows of one for sale please let me know. Genuine cash buyer, Napier based but will travel anywhere. Cheers, Dan - 02102833562

Throwing them at Nissan Leaf drivers is pretty fun!

yea i prefer the 120-140km/h drivers
