Hi Ray, I'd be keen to help out with trying to drive more activity on the Bimmersport site - and facebook page, I'm finally back in the BMW game (as a passion, not just a daily) after a long hiatus - having kids, selling the pride & joy, building a house, getting screwed over by the builder going into liquidation! Lol - long story there. But I'm back in the hot seat with a 135i, and plans for some minor mods. I also work at Meguiar's NZ (Smits Group) as marketing manager - so would love to support the Bimmersport community with a club discount code, and all the car care knowledge I can offer (been in that game 15 years) I also have graphic design, digital design and marketing experience which could come in handy. I'm also on the Ellerslie Concours committee, and would love to be associated with a 'club' as committee members, are not paid for their hard work, but their clubs can benefit from having an appointed committee member.

2025 M5 Touring in green driving through Highland Park. First time I have seen one in person, so Darth Vader, so massive. No doubt spectacular, but I'll stick with my old knuckle dragger.

240,500km installed some new headlight lenses. Went with Magneti Marelli from FCP. Pretty happy with them, however they look like they scratch extremely easily so haven’t thrown away the old ones just yet. They are so clear they make the corner lights look old now!

@Twistee see a couple of posts up. Feels like a big car when you are in it due to interior space, doesn’t feel like it in terms of the driving agility.

worth getting some clear PPF or something on the new lenses to protect them?

Sent you a pm about your exhaust situation

1987 BMW M325i S1 M-Tech 1 - Rare Aero Silver Project! This isn't just any E30 – it's an original 1987 M325i S1 M-Tech 1 coupe in the incredibly rare Shadow-line 'Aero Silver' (exclusive to the SA 333i). Purchased 7 years ago as a road-legal track car from Wellington, my original vision for club events and weekend drives never fully materialized. The plan was to build a 2.8L stroked M20B25, paint the interior and cage, and add some unique 3-piece wheels. While the full build didn't happen, the roll cage is now beautifully painted to complement the Aero Silver. What makes this M325i special: Original M-Tech 1 coupe – few left in this condition. Rare Shadow-line 'Aero Silver' – truly stands out. Working electric sunroof LSD Diff. M20 BTB Performance Headers – widely considered the best on the market. Yellow Speed Racing Adjustable Suspension. Iconic leather Italvolanti steering wheel. Exceptional condition – no leaks or rust. Logbook. Current state: Rego was on hold and has now lapsed. (In dry storage for past 5 yrs) Will require an MS license to comply with W.O.F requirements. M20b25 & Getrag 260 gearbox have been removed (included with sale) F & R window screens and 2 doors removed to assist with paintwork This is a fantastic opportunity for a serious E30 enthusiast to finish what I started or build their dream machine. It's a solid, rust-free base with some highly desirable factory and aftermarket components. Price: $20,000 or nearest offer. Location: Pukekohe, Auckland. Please note: Car will not be sold on the wheels pictured. Serious buyers, please call/text 0225490061 to arrange a viewing or if you have any further questions. Happy to discuss further! will update the post with more pictures

Cheers , have adjusted the listing accordingly.

Busy weekend lying on the garage floor covered in dirt. Dropped the fuel tank out, and cleaned the whole underside with a drill brush, degreaser etc. Then painted the whole underside. Long day of painting the entire underside with a paintbrush. Looks much better now though. Just need to seam seal a few spots and go over them with the black paint again. Then the fuel tank can go back in. Next up will be subframes, arms, hubs knuckles etc will all need a good clean (sandblast maybe?) and paint or powdercoat, yet to decide what I want to do.

I’m in the “each to their own / it would be boring if we all had the same taste” school of thought, but that car is a bit out there. A pretty limited market for a hybrid that’s been modified that much I would suggest. The Ali G reference is absolutely spot on.

It's home and I have not had a moment to look at the colour closely, but the parting comment from the owner of Eurotech was live with it for a few weeks and if you find anything let me know. I have to go back as the kidney grills and guard vents are a coming from overseas. When I get some time and it's not bucketing down it'll get a wash and put in the garage, led lights will highlight any issues. I'm very happy with the Eurotech service, dealing directly with the owner and having him fight insurance on your behalf to get the best result is one of the many reasons I would recommend them to anyone. Sorry dew covered pics from this morning is all I have right now, The rear bumper is now crack free, at some point in its life someone backed it into a pole just hard enough to spider crack the paint and crack some clips. After a month without it I can honestly say that a hard 3rd gear pull on the way home via "Mexico" is still as scary as the first time I drove it hard Final note, the Turtlewax headlight repair that looked great when I dropped it off has failed - on to the next product.

Great format and content, reminds me of garage 4AGE, need more of this.

Watched. that was great love your work, Tshirt is cool

Awesome. I had an MZ10 as my first car back in 1996 through 2003. Didn't know what I had back then. Factory 2.8GT manual with LSD and lots of rust.
