1997 328i Manual coupe

Recommended Posts

I'm having to let this go due to moving workshop and wanting to buy a house one day 

1997 328i Msport coupe 
NZ new, Boston green
235km, fair amount of service history 

Black leather sport seats, electric 
The sore points
Paint on bonnet is flaking off at an impressive rate, paint on sunroof has dulled
Head lining is beginning to sag behind the sunroof  
Two holes in drivers seat, on the highest points of the upper and lower side bolsters 
Steering wheel and gearknob leather torn 
Some damage to driver's door card, I have been unable to find a replacement, the first set I got were totally trashed 

The good:
Fantastic ZF gearbox with recent clutch job
Many new bushings installed less than two years ago by P.Owner (appear to be purple proflex or similar) 
Near new 205/16 tyres, or can bargain in a set of nice 225/45 Michelin MXF Sports, both sets are installed on tidy original Msport wheels 
Have done the FCPEuro fan delete kit with new water pump, fantastic upgrade 
Has many new hoses 
New filters
Recent brake pads
I have done an oil change just before 234km and had an oil analysis sample done
M3 sway bar links (with the XYZ suspension)

Have flushed out the powersteering

Can come on a choice of suspension:

XYZ Tarmac suspension in good condition, currently in the car and it is unbelievable in the corners 

Msport springs with Monroe front and Gabriel heady duty rears (near new)

Superlow springs (I forget brand) with shortened Monroes 

Car is not certed for adjustable suspension, I didn't plan to keep it in there as I do not care for cert plates looking ugly in an engine bay and wanted to retain originality 


I'm wanting $6k ono and happy to listen to offers if this is horribly unreasonable. 
XYZ suspension and Michelin semi slicks can be had for extra (ideally keeping these for the race car) 

Viewing and test drives welcomed unless you strike me as a womble 

Located in Hastings

I'll be removing the coil over stuff soon and putting the standard suspension back in, will have new WoF soon, will have a year rego upon sale. 
Willing to negotiate price, the poor thing is just sitting around now, my buggered back has made it very unpleasant to get in and out of.
