That is one tidy looking engine bay.....and car!

Yep! Keen bean

Location?

Needs less music and more engine music. Otherwise I approve.

Spending too much time on US forums Tom Im putting an S series engine in mine, just haven't decide which one.

Why a s52? Surely there are a lot more engines on the 'to swap' list before you get to a s52.

Looks to be $9500 which is a lot. Few dollars more and you can have KwS' M3.

Looks to be in a lot better nick than the last one for sale. Will be interesting to see how much it goes for. http://www.trademe.co.nz/812421256

Added 15hp by buying and fitting some mtech door trim to Monty. In other news, theres a delay on my gearbox :-(

Car is awesome, but I found the whole video a little meh. Maybe he was wow'd me too much so now anything just seems average.

I upload them into photobucket, heaps easy.

That is one great looking car, great choice! My brother has a 525i which I quite like to drive so I hope you do to. Welcome to Bimmersport

Boom, love it!. Keen to see what rims you get for it but you cant go past those Rs'

I think one of the problems, as proven by this thread, we all want something different out of the forum/car shows/etc and since NZ has a small market, it makes it hard for things to survive. Just look at any music festival over the last 10 years based in NZ if you want to draw a comparision. I will be forever thankful to Bimmersport as it stopped me from going down the path of 19 inch chromies, lambo doors and flashing neon lights.

Was on trademe for a long time and he was practically trying to give it away. My brother went round to buy some parts off him and it was offered it to my brother for 8k

Mission accomplished http://www.trademe.co.nz/805374223

I'd say it has been sold as she only wanted $1500 for it.

Keep going, at the moment that would be north of $200k. But hey, whats 20k when you are spending 200k on an e30

Get this to happen, give everyone enough notice and I'll drag the south island crew up there for it.

Had a bad run of luck over the weekend - went to tow Touring 2.0 into my brothers work to get stuck into the auto swap and the 323 shitbox wouldn't start. Looks like a faulty starter motor. Currently have 3 cars none of which go. Think I might pay someone to fix it as I need a car ASAP. However, I did manage to get towed in Monty which is the closest I have been to driving Monty in a long time. I enjoyed more than I thought I would so I'm super keen to get this thing back on the road. C'mon on the boat!!

Factory wheels if you want them - http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/51009-e46-m3-18-inch-wheels-and-tyres-standard-sizing/

Not too sure as I've never really looked into it but brent or ray will know

Cheers dude, will let you know if I decide to go that way.

Better off to ditch the jacto. _Mark_ (IIRC) spent $000's of his mechanical insurers money trying to fix it and it never went away. You are better off getting hold of a ZF auto, so much better. Brent usually has a couple.
