The questions already. Makes my blood boil. A hijacker trying to sell a pretty bad pplate. Someone asking a very f**king obvious question. And a know it all asking him to check the car for damage with zero intention to buy.

Spotted someone on Instagram spotting @nath 🤔

Time stopped for the dealer. Time hasn't stopped for the car 😥

Few pics from Kura of BMWs in the '80s

@E28E30 That just reminded me - also had someone (in Wellington as well) contact me who has a very nice 4 door manual 325i SE in silver - same as @adro car but stock height / no front lip and cloth interior - garaged / full service history / AC etc. I didn't enquire as to price or anything as I'm not looking at 4 doors (well, not yet) .

I got to the same place with my SE. Got enthusiastic, paid top dollar, want it to be manual and subtle suspension tweaks ie turn it into @adro’s spec, but it’s not worth it. Another $10k could be spent and I would still have a mint SE with comfort interior, and doesn’t seem worth it. So am looking at factory manuals now and see how I feel then about selling the red machine next year

I might have one in my bag of relays, I’ll have a look through for you.

Ahah yes! Took her out on a sunny evening for a walk to mission bay for a burger

Oooh @Sammo will reply to your Pm, a silver manual matching set car could be good too!

Still one of the weirdest things. Its like time stopped for this car haha

Haha. Depends who attaches it I guess BMW factory > your mate down the pub 😆

I like to think of the smg gearbox as an unfinished manual gearbox because that’s essentially what it is. The bell housing is slightly different in terms of machining for certain additional components but the main gearbox is the same sans a gear position sensor (not needed for conversion) and different tension springs for gear indent (again you can keep the smg ones) and you need to add bell housing detents (holes already there) it’s just drilling through. You can fit a manual gearbox to a smg car snd vice versa. They are identical just finished differently.

Im sure that would've been a 30-40K car a couple of years ago. Madness. I do quite like them in Topaz. At that price the least they could do is throw a ZHP knob on it. This one is minging.

Z3s are going up but this is pretty 'optimistic' Granted, it is very low kms and the best one available. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/z3/listing/3317065438
