Ingrid 11 Report post Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) My beautiful 1990 E30 318i was in an accident (rearended someone) and the front is smashed in. I only had third-party insurance, but the car is too expensive to fix and I need to sell it. I loved this car far more than anyone should love a car, and I just want it to go to a good home where the parts can go to other e30s. I'm hoping to sell it to an E30 enthusiast somewhere near Wellington, where it will be loved and reincarnated (see what I did there?). Unfortunately, I'm a student with nowhere to put it, so can't part the car out myself, but it's worth about $1000 in parts. The motor is an M40 and the transmission is automatic. I put in new front struts less than six months ago, and just replaced the driveshaft giubo a few weeks ago. The car has been well-maintained and other than the front end, is very tidy. I'm hoping to get about $500 for it, but this is negotiable, especially if you're a BMW enthusiast. The car is in a tow yard in Lower Hutt. I've included two "before" photos and one of the smashed-up front. Message me if you'd like more smashed-up photos. Please message me if you can give my car a good home, and/or if you have a lovely E30 for sale. Thank you. Edit: The registration is still live (until about December!). The battery is excellent, was brand-new two years ago. The rear of the car is perfectly intact. Edited April 28, 2015 by Ingrid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I might be interested if dad will let me. Do you have any more photos of the damage? Does it run? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ingrid 11 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Hi Elijah, It doesn't run because the fan is all stuck in the radiator (which is punctured). It wouldn't take much to get the engine running again. I took some pretty terrible photos when I finally saw the car, and they may or may not be helpful. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ingrid 11 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks for the recommendation! Will have a think. Yep, my car's in good hands now. Very relieved as I hate the thought of it never being driven again, but Andy will sort it out . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
