Been keeping my eye on this...

Recommended Posts

I know i posted up the black M Z3 a few weeks ago and have been looking at getting into a vert.

http://www.fast4s.co.nz/detail.php?refno=11322

Just let me know what you think, k's are good, loving the red on white and feel all it needs is a decent set of wheels to really set it off. Would be mint for summer. Also what is the 'steptronic' gearbox? same a tiptronic? Anything i should be looking for when i go to inspect it?

Also note price drop of 10k

Steptronic is BMW's Tiptronic. Nice colour combo, and I agree a set of wheels would set it off though it doesn't even need them. But I still think the M Roadster is cooler :P

Have you won the lottery lately?

Going from an e30 to an e46 convertoble is quite a dollar diff.

The vert looks like a really good bargain to me.

66k is no biggie at all - my 330i has 148k and is still going strong.

E30's aren't just for poor people, you wanker. You're the kind of person that thinks a BMW is a status symbol. Bugger off to bimmerforums.com

Chris has a c.400hp cosworth, so guess he must be really poor huh?

E46's can be landed for 13k from japan these days. Whoa hi rolla!

Didn't mean to offend,

think I touched a nerve there. Sorry about that.

Would prefer that you don't get abusive though - was just making a light hearted comment.

Just calling it how I see it. E30 to E46 is a natural stepping stone, I'd never own an E36 again purely due to their interiors that fall apart after 60 thousand K's. Hell, E46's are ten year old cars anyway.

Exactly, I know that E46s are outdated versus the newer beemers and I already said that mine had 148k on it, so it's not worth a fortune.

Don't know how I came over as being a snob.

As I said I think I just touched a nerve there.

nerve touch? You asked whether he'd won the lotto, and then said that E46's are a massive step above E30's. The nerve touch came when you called out someone you don't know.

A bit sensitive there Sam ha. To be fair going from $6k to $29k is a step up. I thought only the rich could afford to run E30s :lol:

Looks great Chris

You going to keep the Cosworth as well ? or is this to replace it ?

Let me know if you want us to do a pre-purchase...which I would strongly advise

Cheers

Haha the truth spoken there!

Nice looking car Chris, way cooler than a Z3!

Get it checked tho.

Those wheels give me a boner.

I like! Definately better than the z3m.

I to have been looking at e46 330i's (must have won the lotto too? :P ) From what I've seen lately its a good buy. Low kms, but not f/l. Definately get the pre-purchase done by Glenn. Those steptronic boxes have been known to die if poorly treated.

In the last few weeks I've seen '99-01 330i's for as little as $15k, a few good motorsport 330i's with low kms for either side of $20k, and then a few with SMG gearboxes, f/l (>2003), stupidly low kms and babied for around the $30k mark. That puts that vert around the average price for an auto 330i motorsport f/l coupe with low kms = good buying to me.

I've decided to wait until next year. I'm hoping this "recession" might mean prices are going to drop dramatically as mom & pop investors start panic-selling Dad's Beamer to save the house. Hopefully that happens around the start of winter when car prices start to dive anyway.

Maybe I'm too hopeful, but the price certainly isn't going to go up between now and then.

The E46 convertible is an old ladies car bro, go the M-Roadster any day!

For the record, there were e46’s offered for as little as 8k last week at auction and still no dealers/public wanted them..

Just by looking at where the car is I would DEFINITELY get Glenn to give it a pre-purchase inspection. Read between the lines if you will but I will not go into further detail on a public forum.

Which auction?

Havn't seen any 330is at auction for a while now. All 318's and 320's

i LOVE white E46's but that convertible with the red leather won't suit you bro. not one bit.

i personally don't like the z3 m coupes either, i mean they are one hell of a car but aesthetically i think they are an abortion.

find yourself a black e46 coupe, that's where you're at bro!

Nice car. Shame about the colour combo - it's way too late 80's

Even though I like the car, I do have to agree. I can't really see you in it Chris.
