Bump. Surprised at the lack of interest to date.

It's listed in the for sale forum. Thanks for the feedback !

SOLD SOLD Sad sad sad Reluctantly selling my low miles manual E36 M3 convertible. It's a bit special having done only 32000 miles (51kms - NZ new), in great condition and i'm only the 4th private owner ( plus 4 or 5 dealers). Comes with the wind deflector which fits in the back over the rear seats and works well with the top down. Recently valeted along with a coating of Feynlab Ceramic paint protection - the paintwork looks almost like new ! ( apart from a few chips and the bottom of the front spoiler, which i may get painted). It has a newer Sony CD player in it but i have the original one. The service history is all up to date in the handbook. In my 5 years i've had the air-con re-gassed, a new battery, new tyres, regular servicing and a very minor repair to a cable in the roof.

First registered in Nz In 94 new but speedo in miles.

I'm thinking seriously about selling my low miles manual E36 M3 convertible. It's a bit special having done only 32000 miles (51kms), in great condition and i'm the 4th private owner ( plus 4 or 5 dealers). I gave it a treat recently and had it valeted along with a coating of Feynlab Ceramic paint protection - the paintwork looks almost like new ! ( apart from a few chips and the bottom of the front spoiler, which i may get painted ). I'm interested in what Bimmersport members think it's worth, i'm thinking it's somewhere from $20-30k, maybe towards the higher end - I've seen comment that the E36's are appreciating in value but to what degree ? I've seen the Evo's around $30k plus/minus on TradeMe with twice the mileage, none of which seem to be selling quickly.

Not a lot of choices no oddly. There are a few Eagle F1s around still so thats a maybe as they are on the back at present but/and are the ones that need changing. There are a few other choices, the Falken 453's or 452's, the Toyo T1R Proxes or the Nexen NFera SU1, Maxxis MAZ3 i dont know too much about - . The 235/45/17 is too big a jump i believe thanks.

re003s don't appear to be available in the right size

My M3 convertible has worn one of the rear tyres through to the steel on the inside edge so i need one, probably 2 new tyres, it currently has directional Goodyear Eagle F1s on the back ( and the spare which the tyre guy is trying to fix the leak on ! ) and Nankangs on the front. What are current good choices or preferred tyres thanks ? 235/40/zr17 all round

I'm interested in the deflector, Can you get a shipping cost to Blenheim thanks ? Cheers.

Any more ideas or suggestions thanks ?

I've had my '94 E36 M3 for 6-7 months now and only done a couple of thousand kms but its probably due for an oil change and basic service and checkover - can anyone suggest a good and/or reputable place to go for a service in Marlborough / Nelson. Dont Really want to have to go down to Chch or over to Wgtn but will if i have to as i dont want to end up with the wrong oil or have a problem missed either !

Was driving through a longish tunnel near the City of London many years ago with the sunroof open and was passed by the roar of a V12 and flat 12 of a Lamborghini and Ferrari having their own little race. Still remember the glorious sounds !

Just listed on TradeMe almost identical to mine (violet with black interior but 86kms vs 25k miles) and a 6 speed with the 3l motor and a kms speedo. I thought the 6 speed only came with the 3.2 evo version but apparently not. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-756600407.htm

Switch replaced and all fixed. Ended up taking it to the local auto electrician ( who was very familiar with the problem ) after spending to much time upside down in the footwell trying to sort it myself.....too tall and a bit to inflexible.

Ordered a new switch from JeffGray, a bit more than twice the price from MillAnd (above) but will be cautious this time. Hopefully that will sort it.

So it sounds like i need the switch which is part number 61318360417 - are there any NZ suppliers for that or do i need to get it in from offshore (US$30 plus shipping from Bimmerzone ) ?

I've just started getting this error message and it appears none of the brake lights are working. I've checked the fuse and that seems fine. Anyone have any ideas and/or do i need to find someone near Blenheim ( maybe Nelson) who can plugin and check the error message and clear it ?

Its Brake rather than rake - how do i work out which bulb - i havent tried to get at them yet assuming they arent sealed units of some sort. Or is that question really as dumb as it sounds now that i reread it !?

Yes its a great car, love the colour and it had to be a convertible. As for a great score, it was for sale by the dealer for around 6 months, listed on TRadeMe repeatedly, looked at by several members of this board but just didnt sell. I bought it as soon as the money became available, and the price dropped a bit, so lucky really, which made a very nice change !
