To me the RHD conversion devalues the car. Means a lot of non-M3 parts were used to complete it. If you're asking drug money for a car like this it needs to be completely original and unmolested. Good luck to the seller -IMO at this price you would be buying it as a very long term investment to make any sort of worthwhile return on your money.

changed the oil and filter on the e28 , did the spark plugs , much smoother now its 530,000km present

Spotted this Z1 in Napier today. It has only done 47,000kms:

Hi everyone, Thought we'd join up here since we now have a couple of e39s. We love these cars. We think that they are the best looking BMWs ever and that Chris Bangle is the prince of darkness We got into these cars a couple of years ago after buying a white 1997 520i for no other reason than it was cheap and looked nice. Didn't even need it - already had 4 vehicles. Fast forward to today and we have just added a metallic black 2003 530i Msport to the fleet for the wife. We knew what we were after it just took some time for the right car to come up. 130,000km, leather, full documented service history and not least of all - NO sunroof!! We now have 6 vehicles and tempted to add a 540i manual 6 speed to the fleet. Would keep the 520i though as a runabout and garage the others to keep km down - maybe take em out on nice days. Look forward to learning from and maybe meeting some of you Sandy

hi new here, convinced by elijah and andy from wellington to join. first time using a forum thought id start a thread so you can see what im doing and ill probably have a few questions that have already been asked so just point be in the right direction. bit about me, iv done my time as a mechanic have my warrant ticket but have on to bigger thing working on tower cranes my cars e30 touring, mods manuel conversion camber and toe adjustment in rear, black interior mtech seats and wheel e30 coupe, mods manual conversion camber toe adjustment in rear and caster adjustment in the front. 5 stud conversion both are 2L but have m20b27 blocks and 885 heads for both progress will be slow i have a two other projects too. owned a couple of e28 too one is owned by elijah now ennz island bay temata peak in hawes bay acs 16x8 shes a bit rough little bits of rust that need to be fixed here and there caster adjusters thought that they would be better option that the offset bushes

I was looking to do it to move away from the caRb in my 320/6 e21. This was by far the best information I found http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Converting_to_Motronic_1.3

This one pulled dyno figures that suggests BMW have understated both kW and Nms to avoid upsetting e90 m3 owners. If my memory serves me right it's not far off current M3 numbers and this one is standard. Was highest numbers for the day .

This seems like a bargain for what it is? Very high on the "want but cant afford" list. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1054027676.htm Im sure i also saw a grey one pop up the other day too, but that seems to be gone already.

Foolish people would think you can purchase a Sport Evo for less than 80K world wide . . .

did you reset the service indicator lights Brent?

Owner should buy a lotto ticket if he gets 170k for it. Looks like rear shocks are billies and the fronts aren't?

Saw 2010 760 v12 twin turbo the other day in the garage at a dealers yard. Dealer reckoned it was worth about $50k.

thanks Kyu and Dave, I've sent Ollie a PM with a link to this thread. He was online earlier today, so hasn't gone dormant... here's hoping we can get some laser-cut vinyl love. ooooh, that sounded a bit dodgy eh

. . . . and has a Bangle Butt? . . . . Oh yeah forgot to say its an NZ car. Thanks for the welcome

I know of an E39 M5 for sale .... :-)

Sadly, not local. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5502762410.html

If it's worth doing, do it properly. For about $10k, I'll get you a headers-back Akrapovic titanium system.

No thanks, I don't like autos ... Wait for it...

That actually did cause me to Lol, sorry. Stealer = main dealer, due to the (supposedly) higher prices they charge.

WIthout the CSL wheels... WTF? Why would you put the non-CSL M3 wheels on it. I think the genuine CSL wheels are still available, but not cheap. CSET should buy it to put his wheels on it and make it all complete!!

If your not worried about whats in the center then this might be a option. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/center-cap-priced-each/1j0601149aanzr/

You are dead right. Too much subjective crap on here at times.

Top right of the windscreen works for me...

CH look good. These are 19's though.

it took me about a year to find my 535 manualIt was the third one i looked at

I know this a year old... But you don't happen to still have these?

I got my BMW mobility kit for about $160 from team mcmillan. I looked at a continental one for similar money but it looked to be a one shot deal
