Yeah boi, straight pimpin in my 318, flashing stacks of cash at Noel Leeming - interest-free whiteware deals fo' life motherf***er! http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-965236396.htm

That is the saddest thing about the market for these cars these days. I know I will get a lot more money if I'll part the whole thing... But I cannot do it to a car I love some much as a whole. I just hope someone will see how much love has been put in it and buy to enjoy it and make it even better.

I think it would come up nice with a good clean. Most people give their new cars a good clean upon acquisition... This one just needs extra cleaning and de-ricing.

Is that a dude in a dress?

how do you guys know its been neglected? do none of you have a few loose tools in the boot and a mcdonalds straw in the back?

Mint condition key!

Hopefully won't be in such limited numbers like the 1M. Looks very nice, can't wait to see one in the flesh.

Had a great mini adventure last Thursday with my little lad. Flew down to Palmy and picked up a little manual 320i to use as a daily sight unseen. It didn't miss a beat on the way home and was great fun to drive despite more than 350K kms on the clock, though it did have head gaskets done in the past five years. Paint and bodywork are in okay condition for a near-30 year-old car and the interior is mint apart from a repairable small crack (surprise surprise) on the dash and a rip in the fabric on the driver's side seat bolster. No plans to do much with it other than keep it running for the foreseeable future while the 8er uses up any discretionary spend. I have purchased a new gear knob to replace a horrible fake CF one that is clinging loosely to life. Wouldn't mind lowering it an inch or so but not in any hurry. Photos from our trip home.

The time has come to put my beloved M3 up for sale. I am building a house next year and potentially getting married. So I will really need my finances to be top notch to go forward with the next stage of my life. Most of you already know the car… It is a special order E36 M3 95 Euro on Genuine M5 Staggered Throwing Stars (Polished Lip). Black metallic colour. The car has full tanned-leather interior from factory (in very good condition) no rips, a little worn on the driver’s side as expected for this age, but has been very very very well looked after by me (I am genuinely crazy about the looks of my car). It has 140k km on the clock, has been used for daily driving. This car has been treated like a princess; fully services every 5000km (engine oil Castrol 10w60 and oil filter change with Genuine oil filters), all other filters and coolant has been recently changed as well. I have spent more than 20k on this car during six years of ownership.

I am sure I have forgotten something, but you get the idea. I want $17,500 ONO for the whole lot. I will not separate any of these parts or components. Car is in Christchurch, PM me if you would like to have a look at it. Have recently bought all of these parts and they are all in my garage waiting to be put on this baby: All new power steering hoses and bolts.

SOLD SOLD SOLD

I've always wanted a 944..Maybe not so much now.

^ double agreed. I wouldnt want to sit on that seat while knowing whats been on it. The real question is why mike has these pics saved on his comp..

id totally buy something like this if it were cheap enough. would be a good toy to hoon in without caring too much. Provided its not completely mechanically buggered.

How to ensure no one calls or comes looking! That wo(man) really didn't want to sell her(?) car!

+ delousing

Lol... that fashion sense though..

Damn shame, 183ks negligent owners, big trouble. But everything has a price

Tacky and neglected. Have to be pretty cheap!

Geez i wouldn't touch that with a barge pole! Def go for the mint condition key though

are those.. leds on the rear seat edge???

Might be time for an "Upgrade"?

That's not Andy's e30 hiding in the first picture is it?

ones like 150x200 pixels and the others like 700x900 lol

That e30 has 4 doors - therefore more practical :-)

Quick sale so you can grab Sascha's e30?

Nissan Micra Nur Spec Type R... Rewa.

Lots more done over the last week, It's now drive-line wise completed. Wiring is all here, got the missing trans/o2 loom from an SMG M3 car and it's giant.. I plugged it all in for a test fire since I was at that point, initially would only get it to crank without fuel or spark, though the pump was priming each time. Dug around and found I missed a huge connector between 2 looms and another at the same plug for the coil loom. Pretty confusing because there is so many damn looms (4) and with the SMG one there is a big bunch of stuff obviously can't plug in. So now it's all running finally, stoked. I first panicked the DME wasn't right or the adapter loom was wrong or something, luckily my own amateur mistake. Since it goes I could finally find somewhere to put this giant mess of wiring.. Engine side it's pretty tidy, There's almost nothing that goes across to the driver side. But I now possibly sacrifice having a glovebox, a compromise I don't mind living with. Can't wait to take it for a spin, hopefully in a few more weeks

i would be pretty keen on this dude. I will pm you!

Wheels have arrived. Rears are 11.5 x 18 -67. Looks like we have stuffed up on the fronts and the offset is 25mm too much. Mocked up the tyres for the front to get a better idea and am much happier with that. Need to order some new fronts, but we can now progress with the rear bodywork whilst the rims are made and shipped.
