mine was more than $50 new aswell so i'd get the new one, they make the car run so much better!! second hand one is just gonna crack too

so got no elbow for you but can dish abit of cheek if need be

yeah as much as I want to give in, i'll end up doing the final push I suppose, whats another donation to the black hole fund! its worth more registered at the end of the day... on the brighside I traded my 528i for a 540i M sport replica. verry nice, wish i'd done it sooner! haha Pics to come, Cant wait to take it to Timaru

It's crazy eh Atta?!

Went for its test today

Failed its compliance test on:

Oil damaged driveshaft bit

Steering rack something to do with play

Headlights need securing on one side and all need aligning

My Brand new exhaust needs quieting down (exhaust guy is gonna get my foot up his arse at this stage because I specificaly said leave it with a nice tone but it HAS to pass a recompliance test)

Needs a repair cert for 2 metal plates welded in under the battery...total bullshit, cant see it being structual but thats $300 alone

I hate E30's currently...would like to watch it burn lol i understand fully how others with projects feel through the tough times!

wouldnt go from a RS to a pre facelift 318 auto unless he was paying you to do so lol

try supercheap auto. mine wasnt a bad price from memory

always look for rust on a E30! lol. 318's are always for sale with blown gearbox...simple fix...don't try do skids in them... a 325i is worth the extra money from what ex E30 320i owners say when they upgrade to the 2.5 donk.

Don't envy you having to decide!

yeah yet another sorry! haha, wont be for awhile though

sup bro, I can probably try get that bearing for you thru my Dad or a mate if yuou have the part number, will text you if you dont see this first

So a Small update... instead of being sensible..

I has M50

Thanks for your offer NuDel/David i'll keep it in mind!, I went to see my banker lady today and they threw some money at me soooo, if it fails its test EPICLY I will be in touch... will try get in into VINZ/AA in the next 2 or 3 weeks, Will keep my build thread updated lol

Cheers for the heads up about stuff in Dunedin Michael, theres been afew E30's and E36's i've looked at but couldn't make the drive down...probably for the best actually haha

Im all for that Hans!

Hmmm, I could buy an E30 V8 for those $$$, which I suspect is what you want to do

Glad I wasn't the only one wondering haha only BMW I could think of (Bar afew M3's) for Sale upto Atta's High standards

getting phased out this year isint it?

sounds very interesting... keep us updated!

Been thru this sh*t with baycorp over a old "HP"...rang up one day got outstanding balance etc, paid the lot, paid and extra Dollar even 'casue I couldn't be bothered with 34cents or something.Like 8 months later they're after me for $210... $4 for the camera and the rest admin and late fees and other Bullshit, basicly told them to stick it! I'd pay the $4 right now but refuse to pay the rest as i'd asked for a closing balance and could prove I put the money thru and all their phone calls are recorded so said don't bullshit me, I got nothing but time, im only 18, I can live with a f*cked credit rating for quite some time, got put thru to the manager, came to the agreeement for the WHOLE $4 to be transfered right then and there for him. end of.

walked away from that quite happy with myself...would have paid the $210 in the end as I didnt really want bad credit ratings and sh*t! LOL just thought i'd try my luck.

congrats mate!

get some Pics up!

we'll be taking over soon

Back on Topic though...

ETC ETC

I dont want to be flooding thousands of $s into this when for the money I am probably bound to spend on it, I could just buy one that is already mint (by looking at trademe).

In all seriousness man, think about this... it's EASY to spend away... I could have a MINT M325i for the amount ive spent on my E30...and its not even re registered yet.

OT, was watching the vid above, is Dado in a Black E46 now?

85% completed De reged E30 325i

E46 325i usually

E30/E36 parts scattered for africa - rear trailing arm, set of old shocks and springs, old headlights lying around, old discs and pads, front E36 hub somewhere. all worth nothing

Axel stands, sissor jacks, 3 ton jack

Used to have the old E30 16's with tyres, moved them out the back recently...

The Dog usually sleeps in between the E30 and E46

sh*t load of tools...Dont really wanna make a list on a public forum lol

Have E39 and E36 out on the drive...need bigger garage

YUSSS so keen to see this car! Is it in Chch yet Linden?

So am I... I have a M50B25 on the way... I get the feeling i'll wanna turbo it after seeing this go lol maybe I shouldn't see it...... nahhhh better have a look

Think I PM'd you, if i didnt, keen on the whole lot, SSK, plastic bearing, and brass sleeve

Im sure it'll be up in welly again at some stage

knew it... lol
