Take a nice NZ new N47 powered 120d and repower with M57D30TU. Swirl flap delete along with DPF and EGR delete, Tune should be good for 700NM.

213xxxkm Cosmetic update. 35% tints and chrome blackout wrap (satin) done by Wrap Innovations. Interior trim switched out for the 3D cube version. I sourced this from Weitz. I thought it was plastic but it's actually alloy. I think it adds a richer texture to the cabin than the previous plastic ones. I also got the antenna module from Weitz too but that hasn't fixed my remote key woes. Next up is some beefier spring pads in the rear and a wheel alignment. (edited these pics on my phone so the colour is abit weird)

This seems to happen too often with this type of equipment, one more reason to get a hoist i suppose!

FYI...

And it has a towbar, handy!

Yeah, title could be "don't buy a car".

Yeah swapping a bit of pain but suppose it gives you some idea. Doing both set of rear arms is a good idea when you get new parts judging from your other thread. You need to remove the upper control arm anyway to remove the strut (easiest way imo)

While investigating a loose feeling in the rear suspension I noticed both rear guide links are shot as well as an exhaust leak. will replace the links ASAP as car needs some realignment anyway to correct a crooked steering wheel. exhaust is a bit of a mystery but the crack is fairly long and not sure how long it has been there.

Watched the Hydraulic Channel on Youtube testing jackstands make me decided to get pin style jackstand.

Yeah man. That cube trim is boss. I had it in my e46 sedan. Cleans up so good.

@E30 325i Rag-Top Mate are you having a bidding party by yourself?

Its only ever the cash difference to change. Irrespective if its property or a car, or a digger or whatever. The New Zealanders get sooo hung up on the figure they need to get for their car that this point is lost in the transaction.

Ill test some when it comes out.

New bits arrived from Canada to prevent an uncommon but catastrophic engine failure on the N52... belt ingestion.

It is just retail after all.

Possibly due to the E 30 listing as opposed to E30 tag in search engine? Didn't come up in mine either! This looks like its Ross Kent selling this car he's a good bugger and knows his stuff and loves e30s

Interesting. NMA... N-Methylaniline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Methylaniline A quick Google does lead to some comments against it. It is banned in Russia and China. https://vuvanalytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Final_PEFTEC-2019-Presentation-NTGAs_2.pdf Not great. https://www.tropicd.com.au/tropic-fuels-nma-free/ From Wikipedia: "N-Methylaniline is a principal component of NMA (monomethylaniline), a non-traditional antiknock agent increasingly used by petroleum refiners and fuel distributors around the world to increase the octane number of gasoline petrol. It is usually added to gasoline in concentration of around 1.3% volume to avoid high gum levels that can cause increased carbon deposits in engine parts[citation needed]. Higher concentrations are permitted by most regulatory agencies if a detergent and a fuel combustion modifier are added to the component to keep gum formation from happening. NMA blended in those concentrations to gasoline / petrol is not more toxic than the hundreds of chemicals that compose this fuel. " Not necessarily bad I guess... depending on how much is added and what else is in there,? I dunno, not my area of expertise, I just know how to use Google a bit... Can confirm you're right, it's listed in the safety sheet https://www.npd.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/NPD-100-PLUS-SDS-2020.pdf

^actually knowing a few of them, it could be true.

Fervent Dobermann. Angelic Christmas. Something Likethat.

Today I disconnected the reverse bing wires. So simple yet so satisfying.
