M50 with a 240 is fine, dont waste your time with 150hp at the crank when you can have 190hp with little more effort. That's what 320guy did to his and that thing flys. Good times to be had, trust me. Only took 3 days to convert it entirely as well.

After strictly only owning E30s and motorcycles I thought it was time to get another car.. a E30.. and copy my mate and drop a m50 in it. After searching on trademe for a tidy e30 I found there was sweet FA on trademe in my price range which I actually thought was worth the money. So I gave up and bought a e36. It's a NZ new 94 325i manual coupe with leather interior. Only problem with it is the door cards, which are falling apart, like every e36 i've ever seen. It goes pretty well, it's vanos which is kinda annoying, would of rather had the non-vanos M50, but it goes fine. Not as fast as my mates e30 with the m50 in it but it handles a fair bit better. All in all I thought it I got a pretty good deal with it. The pics are rubbish for now because I only just got it home tonight, but you get the idea. I will get better photos up tomorrow maybe. If anyone has any ideas on what to do to make it look better, let me know! For now I'm thinking the front valence needs looking at, its the "prefacelift" e36 front valence, whatever you call it, and it looks pretty ugly if you ask me. What other options are there? Do the "facelift" e36 ones just bolt on? Pic update, still rather dark ones though..

Getrag 240 or 260 will both fit on the back of a m50. If it's out of a 325i or 320i e30.

Could be interested in the m325i, could you post up pics, including pic of rust? And a price?

Cant remember but probably

I saw a sparkly sky blue e36 with lambo doors driving around there the other day, I threw up a tiny bit but im ok now.

Just go to BNT and get a new one.Like $40.

Looks clean as. What needs doing?

I always do, the way i got hit was really bad luck, hard to explain. i have been knocked off a bike before on a roundabout. you really gotta be careful. iv ridden bikes more than iv driven cars but man... i am not 100% sure it's a good idea anymore. Two spills in two years...

A bit rich i agree, i put it at that level because i wont let it go for any less while im in a sling... iv had a fair bit of interest surprisingly.

haha yea i might just do that. thanks man.

My price has gone up. For two reasons. 1. A few of my mates reckon im ripping myself off. 2. I was planning on getting a motorcycle, but on monday got hit by a car while riding a scooter and landed head first, snapping my collar bone. So I will keep the car now IF i dont get a reasonably good price. Thanks guys.

And I got let off by the judge. So it wasn't much of one...

Sorry I have already had an offer of $4500, and I might just take it. You will have to beat that...

No it doesn't. It needs regassing.

Not entirely sure. When I push the button the idle goes up 200rpm, so it does engage. I think it needs regassing though.

Come on guys.. this is a sweet deal. I found a bike I want to buy so I need this GONE.

Just buy it, come on.

Yea maybe i should had, its just that ends up being $80!!! trademe is a rip.. The price is at $4700. I put it up $100 but at the end of the the day, I think it is a fair price for seller and buyer.

Hurry hurry i have had 4 people showing interest in the last 40 minutes... crikey.

Nah, the corner at the end of it =P Nah i just like that place for taking photos of my cars. I took photos of my old e30 there too.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...688&ed=true Selling my car, only owned it a few months. Reason for sale is that im going flatting next year and WONT have a garage, and i hate letting my pride and joys sit outside in the rain, and on the side of the road.. So im gonna get a bike and keep it inside ;D Trademe description - factory LSD diff - 5 speed getrag 260 gearbox - Low k's - Perfect dash, no cracks. - Factory leather interior with Recaros in good condition - New cambelt, waterpump, tensioner, and fuel pump very recently. - Temp sensor replaced - Painted in diamond schwartz metallic. - Brand new slotted front discs and pads - Yellow headlight covers are easy to remove. - BBS mags - Will have 3 months rego put on soon. This car goes very well and never fails to impress me. The paint is in good condition for it's age and I have had a number of panels repainted due to some minor dents. I am the second owner of the car since it came from Hong Kong in 2001. I have searched for rust in the vehicle and found none other than the usual bubble in the sunroof which is very minor. I may swap for a motorcycle

PRO TIP: Park at the farrr back of the supermarket car park. Way away from any car. But yes, i feel your pain. It is annoying.

This guy knows what he is talking about!
