Wow ^... my set of 4, including near new BMW pads, cost ~NZ$750 landed from the UK. I'm talking the blue M-Lite (M135i/M140i) Brembo from the F series though, they look better (IMHO), and are much lighter, than the E series performance brakes. A little more complicated to fit though. If you're looking for used parts, it's a good idea to also peep at the for sale section of m3cutters in the UK, it's very active and covers everything BMW, not just M3's. Even better if you know someone in the UK that's willing to act as a freight forwarder.

Can confirm 3+ hours on marketplace a day is how deals are found

No, it MUST be rusty because it’s from the UK and the internet says so. 🙈 Don’t let the fact that it has just been complied (and compliance officers are very hot on corrosion at the moment) fool you! 🤔

They had to swap the headlights from left to right as the first gen cars had them the other way around and looked crossed eyed 😂

It won't get through compliance with rust, they're pretty bloody picky about that.

My full conversion, including rebuilding the calipers and new pads, seals, pistons and disks cost about 3.5k starting from $900 calipers

I sold mine for $950 a few years ago, must’ve been lucky. That was calipers only.

It could be corroded because it's been on a salty boat for a month? But anyway.. it has cruise control!!!!! 😀 (just wanted to point that out)

I likes the dark color ones. The front being problematic. That red and black one is very ugly.

It's a rusty UK import, unless you're preparing to do a ground up restoration, or simply run it into the ground, avoid. Look at all of the aluminium (magnesium?) corrosion in the engine bay... imagine what the steel under the car and behind the arch covers looks like?

Went to buy it to do a 130i manual drivetrain swap. The car was in a lot worse condition than described. The entire car has bad clear coat chipping and the underside is covered in rust, like bad rust the brake rotors wouldn't even be usable it's that bad. At the time he didn't even have on his listing that the interior was covered in mold and it was missing the key. He even tried to convince me that the clear coat was fine and he showed pictures of it after he had washed it while it was still wet. He was pissed that I didn't take it, and couldn't believe that I made a 12 hour round trip drive and wasn't going to take it.
