Had quite a few of them. One of my old ones was listed for $65k just a few weeks back. I imported it for $6k in 2003. My wife still has her S13. She often laughs when people tell her it's worth $30k. She paid $3k for it. And would never pay anywhere near $30k for one. Just like E30s, they were only good because they were cheap.

After a period as an in-patient to the "e39 rescue" hospital, this 217k NZ new Oxford Green II 525i Msport is now ready for its next lucky owner not to have to do what I have... The parts list is long, the hours are unrecorded, and anyone interested should contact me via private message here.

Spent an hour or so at greasy hands replacing the 2 front exhaust gaskets in the M5 and recovering a torx key that ended up on the under tray when I replaced a coil 2 weeks ago, cost about $43, guys seem pretty good, they are car guys and they operate the hoist for you, basic tools are provided but I recommend taking any special tools you might need, and a light of some description. There is a H and S induction and forms to fill out before entry, but they keep them on file so you only have to do it the first time, hoists are all new and there are 4, as a bonus they are only 5 minutes from home!! Recommended for servicing or basic jobs that are a lot easier on a hoist, suspension bushes, exhaust stuff, driveline, etc. Edit, you need to wear good shoes (no jandals, duh!). They also require you to wear a high vis vest, safety glasses and gloves, if you don't bring your own you can purchase them on site.

New colour stripes for the badge on the M5, random ones from eBay, the red looks a bit too red, but I might just be used to the old faded one...

@Cement Thanks though i cant take the credit for the work as it was all done from my engineer. @Eagle I had the Jb racing flywheel lying around and it took factory a pressure plate. I also had both spare clutch disc and plate so figured i would used all the parts up. @Gaz are you talking about the Cybul and Adamat ones? I did think about it but quite liked the rear sump idea and just wanted to try it really.

M325i that I'm sure was only bought/sold quite recently

Black e36 328i coupe m sport in manual with orange indicators spotted on Westhaven drive. Looked it up and only has 60,000km! Impeccably dressed lady driving in her 60s-70s. What I found interesting is that the km-graph is a steady gradient of 1 to 2 thousand km per year since new!

Loving the fab work, looking forward to the next update
