Does anybody have a clue what a 87 PFL M325i is worth these days. I have to give the insurance company a figure so I am paying the right amount and don't end up with E30 318i money if it goes missing. There seems to have been none sold recently that I can find. (That were not crashed wrecks). Trademe prices for E30's are a poor indication of value. People are asking 7K+ for stock 320i's (in great nick). My car is a rust free UK 87 M325i Factory no power steering No Air con Tidy interior (bar the fricken dash) 15x7 BBS R003's Is diamond schwartz (soon to get a full respray as the original pain is stone chipped and had it) Rebuilt factory motor All new belts including cam belt, new water pump etc. New clutch Around 210,000miles Rust free sunroof body (not repaired just lucky) She is well used and is my daily driver. She does need some love though as it is no garage queen. Driven like you would drive it.

Also interested. To chop them up and recover my front seats with the material. Need pics to match against mine.

A BMW i8 has been written off already. Test driver hit a barrier. Have a read of this horrible Jalopnik page. Avoid the dribble that is in the comments section. Jalopnik comments make youtube comments seem like they are truly informative. http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-first-bmw-i8-crash-1504986694?utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

Friends place in Palmy had the loose stuff in their kitchen smashed. The Wakataki out at Castle Point lost quite a few beers and wines but nothing else. Partners Father riding his motorbike out that way didn't even know it had happened.

Don't do it. I have seen it before and it looked very early 2000's tacky.

Yep sure is. Curla and his son Lindsey. We stayed in his batch down at Ngawi over New Years. Family friends of my Mrs' family.

Jesus mate. You can buy a full turbo kit and install it for less than 10K. I just did this on my E34 for around 10K. I only said the 3.2 was in good condition, which it is. It looks immaculate. Plus the comment was aimed at Brent who is capable of doing this himself. His post has been deleted removing the linked quote, removing the context of my post. So calm down. sh*t happens.

Friends of ours own the Pub out at Castlepoint. No word from them yet. My Mrs' father was riding his motorbike out there and we haven't heard from him just yet either. sh*t reception out there at the best of times though.

Oh I remember who he is now. Was trying to misrepresent that bitsa E34 as a real 535is.

I dunno about that Brent. Would rather the 3.2 with a VAC turbo kit. Should be less than 25K and this car looks in better nick.

You could buy the Green one for 15K and buy a turbo kit from VAC and end up with a 3.2 in good condition for the same price.

Good thing it kept you safe with your off. But saying nobody has died in an E39 is a bit of a laugh. Few years back a full car load of kids in an M5 hit a tree mid flight. They were ripped to shreds as well as the car. Physics always wins.

Oh wow. Someone is going to get a deal. If only I was allowed another car.

Yeah I do actually. Not ready to part with it just yet though.

Plenty of the E30 series cars have had sunroofs. I just drilled out the spots and the rest was very simple. I just made up some brackets to hold the panel in place and sealed her up. There was a lot of weight up there. Couldn't be a worse place for it.

Need more cheap English humour IMO. He does do a good job in the video. But as soon as I heard his voice. Haha

I have a mint M30B35 for it

Gavin @ Hi Velocity does much of the BMW tuning in NZ. He is based out of BM Workshop in East Tamaki.

How many KM's has the 4.1 done?

Should be fine as long as I can dig it out when I get back. I know where the spanner is. The locking tool however... You could just make one out of a bit of plate. Drill some holes to suite. That's all it really is anyway.

I won't be near it until Tuesday next week as I am away for racing in Taupo all weekend sorry.

Had to get mine from Ebay. I found nothing in NZ a few months back. Searched high and low. Was $35USD from ebay for my two. Got a locking bar and spanner. Soooo fricken handy for old motors.

My experience comes from yelling out obscenities as we drove past as kids. They can run and throw rocks very well. As for Milan..

It is the Purple pump handles. Called Synergy 8000.
