Or dealer, we'll have some in stock

Why are they expensive? Because they are big. Try your local BMW dealer for prices might be able to better that

With 3 pedals! Thoughts....

How about this? No idea if it helps https://www.trademe.co.nz/2483868085

I was thinking the same thing. If he thinks he can get 33k for then fair enough, the market will decide and it will sit there on the yard for another year plus. If you want to buy it offer them $25k and see how you go Its no different from buying something from facebook marketplace for below market rates and then selling it on trade me for market rate for a profit.

Looks like they also purchased the bronze e36 m3 evo sedan as well with a decent mark up to

Sold for $25k, about where I thought it would sell. I think the fact other dealers were bidding on it scared off anyone else

Ace-o-matic on Stanmore road

E36 would have been 2 letters 4 numbers so sadly up there in price

Sold the style 5s today sorry so looks like I'm keeping the ACS type ones. However am.ppen to serious offers on them

Done plenty of HPFP, Injectors aren't so common. Water pump is probably the most common expense they tend to fail between 70 and 120kms. If you are concerned with reliability then I suggest getting a mechanical warranty

I could potentially have a look at it for you if you want

You can fit the bush whenever. Once the control is in that's when you have 30mins as the lube goes onto the control arm to slide it into the bush https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e36-328i-tou/repair-manuals/31-front-axle-front-suspension/31-12-wishbones-struts-including-rubber-mounts/AZJ3gOl

Valve stem seals are about 2k with the head in place

Now's your chance, $1 reserve and already up to 15k. This will be interesting to see where it ends up https://www.trademe.co.nz/2462389386

Probably unlikely to be the CCV (crankcase ventilator) if it's blowing smoke. Usually Doesn't blow smoke until the CCV is replaced as it is now working correctly Easy valve stem seals test is let the car idle for 5mins then rev it hard while stationary, if blows a heap of blue smoke then seals have failed.

Potentially, see what I'm left with once one set sells

Not sure where is at atm can find out when I'm back at work if you like?

Buy some adaptors and whack themon the e30 ?

Yes it did, UK import, poorly spaced, no reverse camera

I can't decide which to keep and sell so I'll let you folk decide for me. Set of 5 style 5s, 17x8 e20 with hub rings as they are off an e39 $1100 have centre caps and tyres are 205/40 and one 225/45? ACS type 1 'monoblocks' 17x8.5 et13 $1800 Both sets in original condition and reasonably tidy for their age. Curbing on a couple of them as shown in photos

What colour is the smoke? Is it while the engine is hot or cold?

You mean it's not a corolla and I have to service it ? I don't think we will get the full story on the other two, fresh import f15 from Japan started knocking away. The premier e70 40d a salesman traded without finding put what the check engine light was on for....

One of them hadn't been serviced in 60,000km at all which caused the turbo to go and then no doubt f**ked the bearings as well. Unsure myself what was the cause of the other 2

DPF is prob the main thing I'd look out for. Should hopefully be relativity clean with that sort of mileage but never know
