My what a long... gearshift you have :-)

Yeah that is a thing of beauty...

Not looking for a kit. Selling the wife's WRX wagon and hoping to replace it with a 3 series wagon (preferably manual but hard to find). Will keep an eye on what you have but have to wait for the sale first.

Manual?

Yeah will get a quote from Swann. Car isn't my daily - though close as I do like driving it :-) I understand depreciation (at least I think I do) but still feel that at some point many cars will plateau. Going from 10K to 8K seems a pretty big jump...

Hey all, I have an 87 M325. When I originally applied for insurance AMI wanted to cover it for $3k (standard for all pre 90's cars they told me) so I had to go get a valuation letter to get it covered for $11k. So policy renewal time and they depreciated it to $8k... I think it's probably still worth $10-$11k and am informed I have to go get another valuation... Does everyone on here do this with their older bimmers? Or is my insurance company abnormal?

I've seen that - english guy goes to my gym. License plate is something like M5 V10. It's got bright orange painted wheels and what looks like matt black wrap in the boot and bonnet.

Do it up!

Nice looking car - red and black looks awesome. One question - how do you get away with having only one highbeam?

Pics? I'm no expert but have seen a number of e30 m3's on trademe etc. The poorer examples usually sit between 25-30K. Not sure on the better examples - they disappear too quickly :-)

While technically not a car chase (I think it was a Mack truck) Mel Gibson driving the decoy in Mad Max 2 was spectacular. A few other scenes live in my memory: The cobra leaving the helicopter for dust in Gumball rally Again trucks on a very dusty road in Convoy Oh and (sorry look away - very sh!t movie reference coming up): Fast Furious 2 - the mitsu's vs the old muscle (mostly I just love watching that orange Dodge rock from side to side while stationary under throttle) Best chase scene involving a BMW - I don't recall too many not in a James Bond film... Perhaps the 3 e39's chasing Brad and Ange in Mr and Mrs Smith.

It's all cooking or ugly people trying to sing in front of a panel of judges I never heard of...

Still better than 90% of the other tv offerings...

You could send it to the Wellington chop shops... Oh wait they just went out of business (see Stuff for details).

There's a couple of M325's on trademe at present - a tech 1 for $10k and a tech 2 for $11k. I have one of these also - pretty much exactly the same but with orig wheels and less k's. Mine is insured for $11k. I had thought that the insurance people fixed your car if it was cheaper than paying it out so I don't understand why this car is written off... Or is my understanding of insurance or the value of M325's flawed?

Mmm sub and amp have probably gone but they left the Fusion sub control... Lot nicer than the cr@p wiring I found in mine when I replaced the headunit!

Hey was there ever a build thread on this?

Mmm would like the 2.7 engine...

Sign up to nzicemag forum. There's a for sale section there with decent second hand gear going - car audio nuts so good gear in good nick usually. Edit - just seen Rogan recommending the same forum to get you in touch with Hennie :-)

Sad...

Agreed. Didn't Brent have one for sale recently? Dark green 3.6 with full leather... Anyone know how much it sold for?

Cruise control! Flash :-)

I'm sure Ray knows all about it...

Indicator stalk is different and on the wrong side... Is that a SA thing?

Saw you on the main street of Browns bay yesterday - looking good!
