Discussed here already.

Was it a Eastern Suburbs beach? If so I'm sorry to say you will probably lose that leg.

Sounds like you picked up a real beaut. It's a shame more aren't like that. I might have enjoyed them. There was a purple tag rack in the For Sale section a few weeks back.

The prices for these are really all over the place. Would not pay over 10k for one however.

They are not too bad. Wearing ok and I haven't had any issues with grip. They moaned a bit on the track though. I virtually do no city driving. So the cars been great.

Hmm I think it's time you got a refresh. Mines not like that at all. While it's stiff it's amazing on the back roads of the Wairarapa. Which are poorly maintained bumpy windy sh*t roads. Sort of crashes through the bumps at low speed around town though. Cars all original. But has some Korean tyre's rather than run flats.

Spotted a functional E34 just up from where I'm staying in Wellington. Size comparison with the mini too.

It can't be that bad... You son of a bitch. God I hate those.

@BM WORLD New project for you Brent?

Couldn't help myself.

Some white paint and some stickers. Easy 30k.

ROFL. If something sells an average barely collectable car for an amount that you think Wtf are they crazy. It was probably BAT that sold it.

My whole argument here was how the LTW is an inferior M3 and would have little interest outside of the US market. We all know why they are selling for that much in the US. And just in case. Because they don't have the better M3's. Trying to convince me the LTW is just as good by making things up like better suspension and interior... well you should have put your blinkers on and checked your info first.

But that's my point. The market for them is only in the US. Where they are from. Outside of the US I doubt they would get any interest outside of someone wishing to make money on one by selling it back to the US market. Also it was a charity event so people went mad. Watch the one on BAT for a more realistic price.

I dunno. Looks a little melty. Might need some new drive belts.

As Dave said. No they don't. Better interior... no it doesn't. Even comparing a LTW to a stock rest of world spec M3 the real M3 still has a better power to weight ratio of 5.1kg per HP compared to 5.5kg per HP of the LTW. The Evo just blows it out of the water whilst listening to music with the Air Con going. It's just a Homologation car built to suite the Americans based on their "M3". They have no relevance outside of the US. The rest of world version of this car which is far superior is the M3 GT (356) or the incredibly rare M3-R from Aussie (15).

Think it will head overseas? Aus and the UK are gagging for them.

Now BAT has a stock E36 M3 from Japan on the site. Superior car to the Ltw.

I got mine for $700. Cut the bellhousing up to fit my M30. They are not that expensive.

There is one on BAT trying to take advantage of the silly prices Walkers ones sold for. Apparently one guy purchased two of them. Think he realizes that they only have value in the US as they have a sub par US spec S50?

Definitely. I instantly have no interest in them.

You would be surprised. Hint, it's not legal.

Do these have the US spec "S"50?

Agree. 135i + 10k and you're already leaving the 1m behind. 1m is a great looking little car though.

It's still a good one. And could be a primo example with minimal work. Well looked after E30's have still had the sh*t thrashed out of them. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. They were designed to be thrashed. That is also why we love them.
