P.S I put a 1UZ into an E34 a few years ago, don't tell the purists but it improved it no end! That was before the days when you could pick up a 540i for next to nothing, doubt you'd do it now...

I'm struggling to see the problem

fitted my MK motorsport alloys back after i had the lips made all shiny and some of the dents , scrapes etc taken out of them. wheels done by jason at Mac Weld in drury good guys if you need wheel repairs etc

Ron would love this

This is all very interesting.... Kayne Barrie Here, this is my area of things, if you want my help by all means ring, my only comment on the above is, $460 is not much for that job to be done properly, as someone else has said, that it is critical to get the set up right or it will be noisy and wear prematurely . If you had/have contacted me about this job, was I too expensive? just curious because I get a lot of referral for this and wondered what you consider to be a reasonable price for this (to be done once;)

Good spotting! yes that’s my old M3, used to also belong to Cam here as well. Yip that’s the one, though I think it went through another pair of hands after Graham Peddler sold it. It has a thick folder of receipts and paper work with it that go right back to at least it's early days in NZ, I think the original owner also had an M3 at the same time as owning the M5? It had the turbines on it when I bought it, but the tyres weren't that great and I had the M Parras in the garage from my previous E34 (and to be honest the M Parra is the best wheel ever made... ) At the risk of sounding totally over the top I also have a set of T Stars (M System IIs) with the 9inch rears that I had planned to put the Turbine covers on, will let them go to with the car at the right price.... Heh yeah..... I wish I could keep them both but I have waaay to many cars so the fleet must reduce. Yip standard M5, car is standard other than the wheels on it.

Purchased an E39 to replace the E34. That just doesn't compute. Good luck with the sale.

Hmmm. Manual touring? Yum.

Don't budge. The price is right for your car. It will sell to someone who knows what they're looking at. Someone who just wants to buy a cheap M3 can buy one for $25K and then watch it cost them twice yours in 5 years on maintenance.

I wonder if the way you've phrased your sales pitch is potentially deterring buyers? To someone that understands the weaker points of the E46 M3 your ad is reassuring, but for someone that knows nothing about the car other than it's scary fast perhaps it's subliminally raising a red flag? 111,000 km on a 12 year old car is still only 9,000km p/a. Realistically speaking, the motor is only just run in. At 25k that would have to be the steal of the year

The car challenge is always the real real enthusiasts market is thin Most want easy plug n play hence 335 popularity which as with all later models the upper end models supersede the earlier cars performance (but not appeal or styling) See early jags, mgs, tvrs, etc. Even Harleys All aside I'm going to make an M3 happen - at the time part of the challenge is choice comes later model price collapse compressing earlier models Aside from extreme early ferraris cars arent investments - like art I believe buy what you enjoy
