Couple spots from the week: Rubbish photo of an estoril blue speck… but E46 Clubsport Convertible BMW outside an indoor Golf centre… am I even surprised @cleanish_e46

It's good to be back. I recently picked up this E36 M Sport: I had no intention of owning this, I saw it in a carpark and told the owner I liked their car. Next thing she's giving me the keys and said if you still like it at the end of the month, you can buy it. It definitely felt too good to be true, but here we are. The two owners in the last fifteen years are her and her company. 160,000km and New Zealand new, the '328 S' plate has been with the car since '95. It's an unfamiliar starting point for me since it works, and I don't want to break anything. Suspect rear main seal is leaking, so there is that, and then I'll work through the typical E36 things, but to be honest I just want to give this thing a detail and drive it. I can't say I ever progressed from a bucket and sponge, but I recently started watching: AMMO NYC - YouTube and I'm keen to learn. Sing out if you're local (North Shore, Auckland) and have some wisdom to share, or just want to go for a drive (when I've fixed the oil leak).

Im at number 27 Porana Road bro! unit 6! come and see me

Sold thanks for looking

Thanks bud! haha a bit of humour cos the better half is British lol

Musings from the first month, I like this car. A lot of time for the wing mirrors! The E30 and E46 has always had my attention but the E36 is growing on me. Generally speaking, I’ve never owned a convertible or planned to own one but I think the E36 lends itself better to the body style imo. Clocked someone in another E36 waving on the drive through Kumeū if you’re on here, car looked well.

Went for a drive today

Wow.

I was lurking around Porana Road looking for you a few weeks ago, glad to hear you're back doing what you love brother.

I did to another venture but I missed the Bimmers too much so I am back full time as of two weeks ago dude. Have to stay where my passion is. Don't get me wrong, the money was great but for me job satisfaction and following my passions matter more.

The one that drives me wild is 123,xxxkms but will go up as still driving... It's not an uni assignment where you've got to make a character limit

Straight up. She gave me a key and I drove it home. Test drove it until the end of August, took it to VTNZ for a WoF to see if that was going to be an issue or if they would dream some up. Nothing. Took it to my mechanic and the mechanic she uses, went through the service history and noted the oil leak. I can tell she really loved the car, so I'd swing by and grab a coffee with her and her husband. She'd always kept the E36 garaged and their reason for selling it was now parked in its spot, the new 4-Series at a glance. It was a pretty awesome experience as far as buying a car goes.

Pug was written off, was hit in the back just had to be after i sorted all the issues. :sigh:
