Hey mate just incase you see this i've been trying to get ahold of you for the last few days, sent you some emails (private and synthe) and a text, will try give you a ring when I top my phone up. And no he hasn't ripped me off before anyone get excitied lol i'm just on a time frame and have about 5 working days left before my re test time is up and Mike is helping me out with some parts, as usual Andrew

20 year old red paint....gotta love it... you'd love my paint work..fading, peeling, and my spray can jobs everywhere...suffice to say i will never be a painter lol we need a CHCH version of you and Glenn and afew other northies asap haha

why put a sump gaurd on when your gonna do a engine swap...? curiously

jack it up and check the wee tag on the back of the diff, will have ratio number on it... diff size you count the bolt or something, some who knows will chime in

Nice, what a quick little Datto!

hmmm How much to get to chch? anyone got a good idea?

^^ +1

spotted HELLBM's and M3_Guy(??)'s old maroon 540ise, we were "enjoying" each others company up the motorway from Hornby to Rolleston, such a nice E34 in person! told the new owner to join Bimmersport while we were having a chat, now belongs to a guy(think his name was Ben) in the air force, based in aucks, he was just down in CHCH on a visit

I really want Keskin 16x9's otherwise i'd be on these... cant wait to see what you have next!

why are you always selling cool sh*t mate!

Welcome! did previous owner half strip it before they sold it?! is reg'd? Good luck...whatever you budget...triple it...works out about right for my 325i project hahaha gotta love E30's

PM'd, will update first post with some details

the M3 looks hot greg! Slab pics look ballin bro haha not what i'd daily drive though...might de-spring the 540i tomorrow

Can you not take it back to the yard Jase? they should offer some sort of warranty... Archibalds gave me 3months warranty for the 540i, and I brought a additional 3 years for when things like this happen lol

cert it with a cheap exhaust with cats then throw your proper one back on...?

I just put my E30 325i thru "recompliance", I got the easier $250 test because mine had been registered before a certain year...many places tried to tell me this test didnt exsist or claim they didnt know what i was on about but it does exist because i have the bill! haha. the 325i actually went thru ok, too loud exhaust, drive shaft front flexi joint, headlights needing alignment, steering rack pinion play, repair certification, and I thought it was gonna fail hard and what not, so it may pay to try get someone to have a quick look before you give up or try cheap it out lol...i'd try keep the 318is original like everyone else is saying

watching with great interest!

So after getting bored with my old 528i I wanted to put a Mkit on and new wheels etc...then decided it was a waste of money and one money pit is enough (E30) I saw this m kitted 540i at the ArchibaldBarr yard and went to look afew times but it was at groomers and getting touch ups done... gutted So finally one day I went in while waiting to hear from VTNZ about the E30 passing or failing, and it was there! long story short they let me take it home over night to test drive and that was it, needed a V8... and here we are, afew quick shots Reppin' Bimmersport Rear blind... lol pure wankyness 1996 540i 160kms Service history from when it was imported Black leather heated seats - good condition no big cracks or anything Rear blind * wank wank* all working cupholders (stoked) Clear lights all round M-Kit S EDC suspension Dash and heater display pixels are all working and perfect Heater panel buttons are all secure E39 owners may get why i'm happy about the last 2 points haha! Have already had traction control off and quickly put it back on ..U-Turn on a back road = tyre smoke and limiter and a suprised/impressed me... haha Cant wait to take it to Timaru...be some new blood at this meet, my 540i, Atta's 340i and Jase with his E46! Dontaions to save the Andrew fund would be appreciated...petrol disappears fast in this haha!

Love your work! hope to build some half this nice one day! all the detail!

ooo do it Mark! Fluro green cage FTMFW!

have got driveshaft flexi ordered thru Gavin @ Euro Italian, emailed him and put money thru, just waiting to hear back Rang Jon at JK southern euro and have a steering rack arranged, just waiting for them to email me back with payment details So half way once these bits are installed, then have to sort the headlights and get them alligned (getting sick of E30 headlights...the hassle iv'e had with them is crazy haha looks at NZ post ) have looked into this repair cert (still a load of shiz, don't care what anyone says haha, I have receipts to prove a registered iCar welder did it at a registered panel beaters, but thats the gay law of the land. sh*t happens, lifes like a box of chocolates etc etc! ) will go get that sorted this week or next. Found so called corrosion behind my left rear wheel..it's a bit of surface about 1cm2...pissed off about that, repair cert will sort that I think once confirmed it wont mess with structual integrity Covered middle seat belt in lubricant as it can't be adjusted atm...easy to fix id imagine haha Exhaust guy tested exhaust and it's under the decibel Level and the VTNZ garage admitted they dont have a dB meter...but they just quote the louder than factory stuff so the exhaust guy has a wee trick for test day so all good..will still get it quietened down the track Once sorted it will most likely be parked up/covered up... sick of looking at the money pit, got the 540i to keep me entertained for awhile ...and I already want paint and panel, mtech I, better suspension and low offset 16"x9's..and i have a m50 sitting in the garage and a desire to turbo it after being in [E30WPN] ...better off parking it behind the house and forgetting about it for awhile haha!

F**king hell , thanks for that confirmation on price I suppose kerry, not really good news though!, if anyone can beat it im still interested! this cars gonna make me broke lol

Holy sh*t haha someone was a rich papa back when they brought them!

Hey guys, one of the things i failed compliance on the E30 is steering rack pinion play. So I need a GOOD condition tight Powersteering steering rack, eurowreck here in CHCH want $200. so would rather help someone out on here as im sure that price is stupidly dear Shipping to CHCH included in price please Will probably PM you Mike 323e30 Thanks alot Andrew
