e30 325 re-listed for $30k at Rose city. Sure this was for sale at $25k the other week.

What motor would you swap in...

Not sure I fully understand this comment. I have been to shops that have installed a new part (from whatever supplier they use). Part has crapped out shortly after. Yes they have replaced the part but they still charge you labour to do it so no difference.

Price seems realistic though - or maybe I have just been conditioned 😂

But it is another 4 cylinder and not a coupe 😞

Yeah... Seems these early direct injection engines have crazy expensive injectors. Spareto has "vemo" brand for E234 a pop. Otherwise BWM brand for E475!

Saw this How sh*t is the n43? The internet would suggest quite... Bit of a plain jane interior also.

Dureseal... Didn't we used to cover our school books with that stuff?

Car is for sale maybe ?

Not as crazy as some of the others in this thread 🤣

Did this sell?

Bellars Auckland North shore is the same - sign on the wall. I have a local mechanic that does my work and they will use parts I supply but when I first asked they weren't exactly keen 🙂 I've always imagined a profit margin in the parts dept right - they buy at a discount but charge customer full ticket so they would be missing that component perhaps.

I feel like the search options don't always capture detail like they used to... Seems people enter their rego and just go with whatever the lazy border data was. I'm looking for a e46 coupe at present and often find them listed in 330i or 325i - not 330ci or 325ci. Even searching by number of doors doesn't seem to work...

Yeah I get people spend a lot on their project car but unsure how much of that cost you can tack on to the sale price... Might be just getting old and grumpy though 🙂

No I'm not. glws.
