Thanks mate. Sometimes i think it looks like there is too much white on the front end when the bumpers are also colour coded. Just my opinion haha.

Sorry about that, haha. Going to replace it with an original one! Thanks again for the easy, honest trade!

Hi all, After hunting round for the last year or so for an e30, I saw that this one was up for sale and looked to be in good shape (a real credit to the previous owners). Looked at it and purchased it a week later off Will (ThreeOneEight) - Cheers!! Its a NZ 1990 318i Manual M40 engine 226000 KM Electric windows/sunroof Rear spoiler 14" BBS Basket Weave alloys Spent most of today running over the car including giving it a Mother three stage polish I am very happy with the car, and loving every minute of owning her. A few plans i have for her: Giving the alloys a really good clean (possibly a re-spray) Clear indicator lenses (front and side) - anyone that can help with these parts? Original exhaust tip IS Front lip (tossing up between painting it black or colour coding it to Alpine White) Might look at some mtech or after market springs (but not a priority currently) New roundels Original rear floor matts Original gear knob Cheers - Scott

Looks SO much better with that fitting surround!

Sold.

I wish!

TRADEME LINK - http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/cars/bmw/a...n-513315883.htm Unfortunately i have to sell my pride and joy in order to fund my university fees for the coming year. I purchased her off a couple just on a year and a half ago now. Really stood out being in excellent condition, NZ New and manual. I have loved owning this car and adding my personal touches to it. Extremely good condition for age SPECS: NZ New - Full service history (all books/manuals/papers) Has had the cooling system fixed (very common and expensive fix with the e46's) New air flow meter - smooth acceleration 35% window tint (professionally installed by HYPER DRIVE in Penrose) 18" M3 Replica wheels (New in August last year) Front clear indicators, and side repeaters Matte Black kidney grills 2 x New tyres Cheers - Scott.

It does open - just takes a while. So what would you recommend doing? Cheapest way I think is going to be getting a 2nd hand drivers lock unit and use a separate key to get into the car and the original to start the car.

that 7 series Staggard 19" M Par's...

Anyone on here know anything about this? Not too keen on a $600 exercise like it says on the website!haha

as per above. The remote locking is VERY temperamental, i can stand for 15 minutes trying to get the car open. Have replaced battery in remote. Must note that the lock in the door isn't usable as the plunger inside the mechanism is broken, so the only way to get into the car is via the remote unlock. Although before that happened (two weeks ago) the remote unlock was still very temperamental. ANY help would be extremely appreciated. Cheers!

Looking good mate! Is that an OEM BMW colour or just a random one? And out of interest where do you get the sticker plates made up?

Just out of interest did they come off a p/fl silver 318i coupe?

looking good mate

Sorry, forgot to thank him for that. Not yet but i will be soon, thinking about taking it to Ernest at Bavarian Motor Works on the shore.

If your talking about the black one in Dunedin then that has had one NZ owner. It was imported in 2001 from Japan.

About 1/3 the time I'm down shifting into second gear it pops out and no matter how many times I try and select again 2nd it wont stay? Any ideas? or anyone else on here with a manual e46 that has had this problems? Thanks - Scott

bump.

mean pics bro!

Thanks AJ. 3.5k seems fair, i suppose you do have to have a bit of a loading for a really tidy one.

I know its hard to tell from some small photos and a write up. But if it is in excellent nic / full service history etc etc like stated. What would this be worth? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=496599054 Thanks

haha knew you'd be all over this Sam!

looks good! Agree with Sascha above about the tails thought. Stock or all-red tails would look awesome.

looks awesome man!
