MD13

Sad :-(

Nice. I have one of these on the wish list for next car - thinking blue with 6 speed manual.

Anyone here buy it? Re-shell?

Think the cars are fine - the engines you want in them are a little off Different strokes (see what I did there?) for different folks.

Not nearly as desirable as the e34 anyhow

Looks buckled - hit left front but drivers door appears not to close.

That's tragic :-( e34 M5 near the top of my buy list if I win lotto...

It's in the question section.

Good looking car http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1265742982.htm Is there such a thing as "BMW club concourse" competitions? Not looking to discredit the owner just curious.

Discussed a little previously http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/57440-omg-nz-new-rhd-e30-m3/

Awfully brave of you! Hope all goes well. Welcome.

Looking at your original questions: 1. Not honda practical but a lot more fun 2. The m20 is an old engine and not that fuel economic. I had a 325 some years ago and I think it was somewhere around 12l\100km... Memory isn't that flash though :-) 3. In a garage I'd expect it to start first time everytime. If you are going to leave the poor old thing on the road for days at a time without driving it then it might take a few cranks. If you are mechanically minded or have a good relationship with your euro mechanic then go have a look. It's looks to me like a reshell - probably due to crash damage or rust. If done well then good fun. Check Thoroughly!

Welcome - pics please :-)

Any of these to be for sale once complete?

^ So that's why you travel the north island in a big van...

Be nice to f**k a lawyer for a change instead of being on the receiving end...

Lawyers.

Ask your favourite panel beater who they will do work for. I used to use ASB (underwritten by State) and following some damage was surprised that the panel beater I preferred would not work under them. He stated they supplied their own inferior parts and the hourly rate was too low.

This was up for sale months ago - was discussed a little here: http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/56363-tidy-looking-e30-m325i/

I prefer the BMW 6 cylinder engines in general. Had an e30 325 and the exhaust note was something. This car has the M40 - sohc. If it was the M42 that would be fine.

Personally would prefer a larger engine and air con. If it is rust free and runs price seems ok. Seller has only had it for a few weeks which I'd find worrying...

Gone...

High k's but 'looks' good aside from worn drivers seat...

Rays next donor car?
