Yes Jon, didn't that great writer say, 'To Sell or Not to sell , that is the question.?' Someone, of lesser fame, told me once, if u keep ur sale as a secret it probably will not sell. ;People with the coin pick up on opportunities. Yeah', when containers become avaiilable I have another car to cram in which makes that mor viable.

Yeah, the world at large has ebbs & flows, old cars probalbly do to, The' haves & have nots', i.e. the rich & the poor, the gap may widen. The rich have the problem of where to place their surplus money: in the bank - for what; stocks & shares- for when; buy seashore or hillside property - for how long. Leaves old cars with the arts & antiques. For some an old car in the shed that had appeal will still have appeal, can be viewed, even caressed or used for pleasure. Mmm history will only be able to tell.where an old car will be....

OK, the e30 M3 is back home, Mileage is 99,668 miles. If I decide to keep I would install an electric fan, but keep the original. Thought is to do another NZ top-to-bottom road trip, which would take it over that ton miles. Yeah, heart-to-head decision.

This car has the patina of time & use, to quote the latest vernacular, Neil. The US Collector auction circuit gives unmolested older cars a premium showing a bit of patina. Anal perfectionist examples are taking a hit. Yeah had two 318is a few years back, one was Brilliantrot. Had to tell a prospective Japanese buyer to cancel his flight over because the apprentice that serviced it when new snapped it up. Yeah, my favourite BMW model, a very balanced car to cross the Central Plateau in. Mine has a Henry Ford T colour.

*the LHD emphasis was probably chasing the American market. I did know those figures, need refres to quote here. * corner weighting racing cars solves balance issue *the steering plumbing was blamed for 3tenth second difference for RHD

I concur Dave.There is also a rarity element too l suspect.

Yeah Send your email address for some photoes can't seem to be able to download onto here. Only genuine interested, time is important to me I'

The theme so far from 'our inhouse' experts seems to suggest RHD cars although rare are not favoured as an investment car. - A pricing bracket in the $60-80k range perhaps, even to $120k - there maybe a glut of them now & in the future My reaction so far is maybe keep it as my 'my personal car of interest' * sell my other 'cars of interest' i.e. 1971 2002 s42 engined ; 1986 e30 325i Targa Car; 1988 e28 525ea;2002 Reno 225 F1 * keep: 2019 Triton GLXr ute daily; 1991 e30 318is - his favourite; 1990 e30 318ia - hers daily; 1991 e30 M3 - car of interest

OK. Hi Leon, thanks for your interest. If you've got the money l'll make the time. Suggest if u can phone or txt me, To see in real time.what it is can be arranged. Having trouble getting download completed from ph Cheers David.

Thanks Jon Yeah, to sell in UK , I have a few friends there, tell me mine would fetch near the NZ$200,000. Shipping, insurance etc can be the nightmare though.

One person's meat is another person's poison. From talking with but a few localised LHD e30 M3 owners 75% would like the RHD experience. The Pro/Cons RhD: if euro the dogleg box is set up for lhd & ease of gear selection; a track test of several race drivers on a right hand UK track av. 3/10ths quicker in the left hand raceprepped car but not conclusive as all drivers were.quicker (Was it the horse or was it the rider stuff). On rh race track driving a rhd car u see though the corner better, especially on NZ Roading Engineers factor that in. Entering fast flowing traffic easeful in RHD. Living in NZ RHD is safer & ease of entering traffic & overtaking equally less stressful, So when in Rome drive LHD, when in NZ drive RHD, safety first,

This is a 1986 BMW e30 325i Used on the road & track. In garage getting caskets & cam_ belt changed. Was originally built for Targa Rally Has had near to $35,000 spent on original set-up Has XYZ adjustable suspenion 4.10 LSD Gertrag Differental Any interested person can txt 0284655325 $25,000

Yeah, I have owned an 1986 LHD us spec & this one RHD. I use my discretionary money buying cars I couldn't afford in yesteryear. Someone cleverer than me could advise whether I am correct in buying cars that I couldn't afford in yesteryear but now have my discretionary money for this. I like to look at 'my money' in the garage, if you ask your bank to, 'show me my money,' they can't physically show you even a small gold bar,' That said, are these collectable, gain value and an investment? I have to say I prefer the RHD for driving these sport style cars on NZ roading. Used LHD for driving to track and home. From, personal preference I choose RHD every time.

How do you know what value to place on these cars in N Z? This one rolled off the production line 20/11/1990, among the last batch made I understand, BMW Germany had it sent to Hartge Gemany to convert to RHD. It was then despatched for the CEO of Baron's in the . It was first registered in UK as RHD. I've heard Claytons BMW Auckland had done some for a few new owners in N Z. This week it's up for WOF & week after that available for a new owner perhaps to drive away and turn the100,000 miles milestone. It is not a Evo Model but it was fitted with a 158 kW powered engine. So folks what pricing would one expect from a willing buyer offer to a willing seller?
