My Clubsport is up for sale. I am the 3rd owner, the first being BMW for 10,000km, then a regular long distance commuter for 290,000km, car currently sitting at almost 310,000km Much work has been completed on this very rare car to lift it back up... The SMG is all good following a slave cylinder refurb, and spares include a complete gearbox with all hydraulic equipment and computer (unknown condition but at least all the parts are there for refurb as required). Many trim items have been changed / renewed including seats, doorcards, steering wheel, gear shift. A later radio/CD with a Bluetooth dongle wired into AUX input. A new road wheel is on due to an unrepairable crack in old one. Tyres / brakes / suspension - good. Plenty of engine work of maintenance items and oil gaskets. The OFHG was leaking badly upon purchase... Alternator voltage regulator / brushes replaced, brushes finally gave up after 305km... Cooling system has new water pump, thermostat, expansion tank (the original tank was still going strong...), hoses. CCV system has some new hoses / pipes. DISA valve is new G.A.S. New engine / transmission mounts. New oils / fluids / filters from radiator to diff. AC all good. Headlights / taillights / indicators refurbed or replaced. The paint is OK, with stone chips on front and a few little indiscretions here and there. Best to contact me directly 027 278 2940 for further discussion. $12,000 firm.

Got the head back today: Tank cleaned, crack / hardness tested and resurfaced at Engine Specialties in Glenfield.

Having seen this in the metal, it is a stunner - and I'd buy a car off Stu ANY day of the week given the care he puts into his vehicles.

Feedback, address verification, a disputes process and disabling of accounts. TM email confirming no response from seller was also helpful in bringing a prosecution and they passed bank details to the police to allow the person to be located.

Even the plates give a hint of what's under the bonnet.

Penrite ATF FS. Probably the easiest to source and cheapest option in NZ

wouldnt bother with mechanical warranty personally, the cost of the warranty itself and having to pay for "proper" (aka, expensive) services means you end up paying $3k ish all up which could just be used on preventative maintenance. This is assuming you dont have a catastrophic failure like engine/gearbox which then the warranty might be worth it. Usually these cars are pretty good and if it drives good, engine sounds healthy, and gearbox shifts smooth, dont think its necessary. a gearbox service is around $700-1000 so put that money on doing that instead cuz 90% of the cars for sale wouldnt have had a gearbox service done imo and it makes a big difference.

^ I think he means the spare is a style 66 - E39 bore and offset which wont fit the 1 series

SOLD $27.5k Selling my E36 M3 if anyone is interested https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3290830029?bof=Ra2B7nkf

it appears the V8's have banded together to kick out the odd one out... lovely looking car, sure it'll sell quick

Thats stunning, and well worth the asking price. Wouldnt even know it was over 300,000km by the photos.

will you take a left kidney as payment?

Richard fellow PalmNth local here. Would love to have a look at your project sometime. And if you have not seen, in person, the HellBM s54 M3 Touring build happy to show you and take it for a spin. Yours will chuck out more hp, I suspect.........
