    Hi all, testing the water before I bother with the hassle that is trademe, looking to sell the Mrs E36 MSport Individual 318i manual Convertible, probably really ought to wait until the spring but here goes:

    Location - Auckland

    185,000 kms

    Passed WOF with no issues last week, rego until May

    Work over the past 2 years or so

    New Clutch

    Front Shocks

    Wheel Bearings

    Gear shifter bushes (no idea what the proper term is)

    Heater Valve

    Water Pump

    Wheel bearings

    Various belts replaced

    New Tyres

    Roof replaced 2014

    .... plus anything else that's ever been required that i can't remember, got all reciepts mostly from BMWorksop East Tamaki

    Had the front seats filled and redyed a few years ago so whilst by no means perfect, not looking too shabby

    Lovely colour - Mederia Violet with matching M3 Mirrors - got original colour coded mirrors too

    Electric roof, (needs a little help being tucked away when it goes down due to the straps being a bit loose)

    Type 42 alloys

    looking around the $4k mark I guess - open to reasonable offers

    reason for sale, picked a nice E30 coupe up recently

    Wow, that leather looks lush. Very impressive work they did to make it look near new.

    Cant imagine Madeira Violet is very common, certainly havent seen any around here.

    yea.. good job eh! Don't know much about the colour - the car is a BMW Individual so don't know if its unique to that or not or just uncommon.. looks well nice though :)

    Looking good, especially that new top. Night and day difference from the early pics.

    Cheers, from when I first got it around a year ago the difference is unreal.. it always looked nice and the engine was sweet but other bits were tired.. in addition to the stuff I mentioned earlier I have had the gear linkage rebushed as it was very slack, and a new clutch and various bearings changed, its so tight to drive now as well as, I reckon, looking the dogs nads, all factory stuff no molesting at all. Minor stuff to do now only, new gators for gearstick and brake, a little touch up paint for minor chips and gonna have a try at sorting the tensioners in the roof as it needs a little help being tucked in when folding away.. then thats it ... hopefully my summer ride for the next xxx years :) ... PS if not seen already heres some pics when the seats were done, still knocked out by them although due to the colour they are not quite as gleaming now http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/49690-leather-seats-refurbed-e36/

    What kind of $$ out of curiosity?

    Change of plan.. was gonna sell but put some - lots of - cash into it since these pics were taken, now has a brand new roof, new front shocks, wheel bearings replaced, seats fixed up (cracks filled and redyed) new tyres all round, tracking done, missing side trim replaced, new sounds, got colour matching M3 mirrors from the UK and lots of other smaller stuff fixed up .. looks and drives the nuts now, be ready in time for summer :)

    Looks amazing. What was the result of the thinning/scuffed/worn leather? I can't see any detail in the after pics. Did they come up awesome too?

    Back to full thickness by the look of it.. if you look really closely you can see the repairs but you have to be aware of them to see where they are .. btw, if anyone wants to see them in the flesh you're more than welcome to come and inspect - in Remuera/Meadowbank area of Auckland, I'm not touting for business btw but really impressed with them :)

    Thanks for the comments guys . Yea, just the leather surface repaired, the bolsters where in pretty good shape but the thinning leaather was starting to cause me a little concern, figured if I waited for it to fail totally it would be a bigger - more expensive - job to repair, very pleased, had wheel bearings replaced recently, gear linkage rebushed, new clutch, colour matched M3 mirrors off Ebay UK lots of little rattles tightened up and a big clean up, looks like a new car now.. saving up to get a new top on it then I am done :)
