wanted Bmw e30 or e34 touring wagon !

[540i TOURING 0]

323e30 I have been huming and ahhing about selling my e34 540i touring.

Really don't want to, have had my Clubsport for sale for a few months but the arse has dropped out of V8 Holdens and HSV's big time and have spent so much money on it, just can't justify selling it.

I have to sell one car as I need a 4x4 or ute for work.

Problem is I've also spent big money on the Touring and its a good one, I currently use it as my daily driver and was planning to keep it and do a manual conversion heres some details;

1995 NZ new 540IA Touring Wagon.

142000km with service history, full maintained.

Absolutely Mint Body and original Paint only 3 small stonechips on front of bonnet

Factory Lip Spoiler and Side Skirts

2 Way Electric Sunroof

Lowered on Vogtlands with sls rear adjustment for new spring height (still have original shocks)

20" Ruff racing Mesh Wheels with custom painted silver centres and polished lips

245/30/20 Hankook K107 Tyres near new

Mint Black Leather interior with memory electric seats

Full mechanical warranty until 2010

Tints by Elite Tint

Updated Silver Indicators

Factory BMW Sound System with 6 stacker in boot

Last Serviced at 140km by Glenn at Botany Motor Worx, he said its one of the only e34 he's had in that has not had fault codes.

Just got a wof and only thing needs doing is front shocks are leaking and need replacing, am looking at putting in Bilstein Sports this week.

Heres some pics, PM or phone (021 750339) me if interested.

Thanks Adam

Everything is for sale at the right price.

That is true, like I said. It would go for the right price.

Where are you finding e46 tourings for 8k ?

My thoughts exactly!!

[Apex 693]

Haha, the Touring is a nice vehicle to drive and be seen in though, something about a being a wagon that takes the “BMW driver†perception away!

Would be hard to replace.

Nice E30Zone Avatar BTW.

I agree, they are something different!

Thanks I'm glad I'm not the only one that has seen those photos!

turners auctions 8k-11k estimate selling values.

ezy buy cars, had newer 5 series wagons 9k

in all honesty ild rather an e30 but just it hard to go from a 2000 mercedes to a 1988 e30 for the same money.

yeah this one looks fairly tidy, i rang they guy last week and he mentioned the paint on the roof was crappy, im still prob going to go have a look at it tho, wouldnt imagine it would too cost much to respray roof if needed.

I dont mean to put a damper on things, but since when have auctioned cars gone for the guide price? Especially newer cars like this that are regularly getting double that price on TM etc ?

You want to see what they are selling for, not what they are starting at.

[edit] but I agree, going from a new car to a much older one is not always easy.

Your 540i Touring looks the business Adam, can't be many of those around especially in that condition/mileage/NZ New.

trademe prices arnt much better, most of the cars listings sit for month and months before the price is finaly reduced to sell. but anyway ild rather pay 11k+ for a newer one, than 10k ono for an older one. But ideally im hoping to find a not so great e30 wagon for 8k or under.

there was one dereged e30 wagon on bags and hidious rims on trademe a while ago but i cant find the expired listing for it to stalk him with an offer haha .

Thanks for your comments MR E34 yes this is my second Silver e34 540i Touring, my first one was mint and I sold in Nov last year but this one is in even better condition plus NZ new, low km and Black leather so I had to buy it, people thought I was crazy to buy another car the same as I just sold.

Am really reluctant to sell this as I know I won't beable to replace plus have the full mechanical warranty etc and would love to convert to 6 speed but am expanding the business so one car has to go.

Have had quite a bit of interest since the post this morning I know what it owes me but obviously in the current market not sure what to expect. Can anyone offer a ballpark for what its worth?

Thanks

stealth roof?

had faded paint so the roof was painted black by previous owner, two tone drift style haha, actually suits it tho. I will be tinting the rest of the windows to match.
