Silver M3 best M3. Looks bloody awesome, good luck with the sale!
-
hmmm, if I was the vendor, I'd be a little worried about the bidding by the zero-rated "Jay from Hamilton", first registered as a Trade Me member in January 2025...
-
Hope everyone is having a good weekend, in spite of the latest installment in the anniversary weekend weather saga. Just testing the waters really before I list the car on Trademe, I'm looking to sell my M3. That old chestnut of genuinely needing something more practical - as it turns out not only do kids grow, so does the amount of gear they accumulate. NZ New, Titan Siver Metallic, black leather interior. Almost complete service history (including new engine at c. 45,000km!... kudos to the original owner), have taken to servicing at indendent specialists following some main dealer misadventures. Originally SMG, converted to manual Dec 2019 (along with install of Karbonius CSL intake) courtesy of Hell BM and KBM. CM Wheels CSL replica alloys (19s) with Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss. Genuine CSL front brake discs with upgraded mounting brackets. Have original intake and caliper brackets. Special shout out to Tom for his tireless help with this (and subsequent tune), a fountain of knowledge and a true gentleman... I owe you lots of coffee (and two rear shocks!). Recent $6k service (cheers Luke at Skunkworks, Devonport), including powder coating rear subframe, installation of Revshift 80A subframe, trailing arm and diff mount bushes, new battery, diff refurb (by KBM). Subframe has previously been reinforced, both plates and structural foam. To-do list: - Front right headlight occasionally slow to ignite... have a spare headlight, just haven't found the time. - E60 M5 (US spec) gearknob a bit, erm, patina'd. - New brake pads needed (will organise before sale). I have owned the car for 8.5 years, saw heavy use for the first 12 months, more occasional use since the kids arrived. Easily one of the best condition E46s I have seen, and I have seen a lot. If I was looking now, this would be my dream spec - I cannot even begin to stress how transformative the carbon intake is to the overall experience. It literally defines the car. Happy to answer any further questions (either here, [email protected], or on 0211229081). Looking for offers in the region of $42,000. Cheers. Jason.

3 years outside and not been run seems crazy to me, already at $15k in this market is crazier still
-
It’s even the right colour for Sreten of M539 Restorations to sweep in and save it

F8X Carbon Strut Brace Retrofit: F8X Swaybay retrofit

Gone!
-
Indeed, my thoughts too.
-
Rough one is 35k now on FB which is still probably at least 10k too much.
-
This will be interesting to see where the market sits. Especially compared to the rough $45k one https://www.trademe.co.nz/5140389388

Keep an eye on the Aussie Sharks facebook page, there are several members who have cars they are wrecking
-
Manual too...another weapon...!!

They did come with a plate plinth in Europe but 3M double sided tape should work fine on the E9x
-
Ah didn't not know that. Ive been burnt before just avoided any potential ransom situation by going off 1K NZD total. Ive been charged GST on multiple orders that arrived came a few days apart before too.
-
Be aware that the value is $1k NZD when Duty and GST (on the order and shipping) is charged/due for the order to be cleared through Customs. This will need to be paid before it is released to local courier for delivery. Since FCP changed to exclusively using UPS, I try to keep orders below the $NZD threshold - UPS are the ones who collect the taxes on behalf of the taxman and are pretty strict in doing so. Wish FCP would be friends with FedEx again... 🤣

Hey guys, Unsure of the rules of listing a car here as a fellow kiwi who resides over the ditch but I’ll try & see what happens. 84,000km’s. Silver Grey over Grey interior with Aluminium Cube trim. I am the 3rd owner. Have had the car for a year and a half, previous owner purchased it from the original owner in 2009. Mainly driven on weekends & open road driving. Car comes with 3 keys, full service history, all original booklets (includes owners manual, service booklets etc) original BMW car cover & complete tool kit set. Roof operation works perfectly with no leaks. Soft top condition is like new. Roof is down almost every drive when no rain. Garaged parked, washed fortnightly. Most recent work done under my ownership: - New A/C - Entire cooling system replaced (radiator, thermostat housing, expansion tank, hoses etc) - Rear brakes (discs & pads) - Oil & filter service - Control arms & bushes Parts used have always been genuine or OEM with work being carried out by BMW specialists or by BMW main dealer. Pirelli P-Zero’s all round. Factory options include: - M-Sport package (body kit styling, m-sport suspension, m-sport multifunction steering wheel, sport seats & 18” wheels) - Harmon Kardon sound system - Parking sensors (front & rear) - Automatic lights - Rain sensor - Cruise Control Cleanest E46 I’ve seen around considering it’s now a 20 year old car. Will be a reluctant and very sad sale (even the mrs is sad) but as our new family grows we’ll require something with more space! Happy to help arrange transport. Looking for $18,000
-
Damn my old beast! Sad to hear what’s happened, hope to see it revived by the next person. I spent a fortune on it 😅
-
Unfortunately not, a manual 330d touring would be more or less impossible to find here in nz. However they’re not too hard to manual convert if you can find the parts. Have done so on a 135i coupe of similar vintage.
-
I don’t suppose there’s any chance it’s manual?
-
Potentially looking at selling my wagon before I spend a whole lot of money on it. very hard to find diesel wagons here in nz particularly nz new ones. 2006 330d: Nz new, Black leather interior, electric seats, parking sensors, cruise control (I think will have to confirm), sunroof (functions perfectly). 18 inch optional wheels. current wof and rego, 16x,xxx kms. RUC will be up to date. Drives great only considering selling as I’ve got two other cars and don’t really need a third, and I know if I keep it I’ll spend a bunch of money on it doing m sport conversion, tune etc etc. these are very very hard to find, similar spec 335d albeit lci is listed for 14-15k, so price is roughly based off that considering it’s not lci and it’s a 30d not a 35d. located Auckland north shore, welcome to view, overall fairly tidy car but obviously has some marks here and there as you’d expect. $9000 Ono.
-
Hi there I’m up from Wellington at moment and was wondering if I could get your phone number to discuss a potential viewing, very interested in the car thanks

I think the 1k is the purchase price. Shipping is taxed only if purchase is over 1k. Best to give some room. But they have periods where they lock in rates which can help. https://www.customs.govt.nz/business/import/customs-exchange-rates/

HAHA @Twistee yea man i spent allot of years fixing fried plastic connectors and water leaks from barstard hoses. still very passionate about them.
-
Sweet will keep that in mind if I can’t find anything prefacelift.
