Looking good mate. Unfortunately I only got as far as cleaning mine.

Interior pics?

After quite a while of looking I happen to come across this very tidy and genuine NZ New E36 M3.

It has black leather along with all the normal kit and is very original including a complete and up to date service book!

It's had a new Vanos, water pump, cooling system and all bushes replaced.

Going to be working on the paint and bringing It back to new condition.

Thinking of putting my immaculate 2003 E39 530i up for sale. So if your interested, let me know.

Only have a few pics after quick wash this arvo.

Haha I had a good laugh!

Ahhhhh I do recall turning my head to look at your e39 as we passed thru Tirau. We were on our way back from Tauranga after collecting this beast.

Darren is this your car? (HB)

I picked up some side skirts for the E30 but im still undecided whether or not to put them on so thought id ask for everyones thoughts.

Excuse the temp fitting method but you get the idea.

By the time I'm finished this baby is going to shine so bright you'll need glasses to look at it. Just purchased a new rupes Bigfoot polisher to do the job! Plus I'm going to pull seats and carpets out and clean it right out!

+1

Looking forward to decent pics of that colour, should look great!

Sorry but was does ftw mean? Haha

What he said^^^

Get mate, I bought the blue one. I spotted you going through Tirau on Fri at around 1pm. Car looks generally pretty good! I spotted you because I saw you looking at my msport e39 parked by the sheep dog on the left hand side.

Lol Andy..you know me too well...just ordered a supercharger from turners

Now that's what I call bullshit

Ahhhh I see! Haha yeah absolutely! I'm back in Hawkes Bay this weekend and the M3 is tucked up in the garage in Auck. 530i msport is much nicer to travel in! I'm hoping to get back to start working on it on Monday. So I will post some "before pics"

Haha, why a build thread?

Congrats on the buy! Time for a build thread too!

Ah oops. Yes your right I did. I won't the immaculate 95 blue in better cond with lower Ks.

I think you linked the wrong auction ( unless you linked the wrong auction in your other thread ).

If you got the Auckland M3 for $10k, jesus christ that is good buying.

After almost 1 year of searching I have Just picked up this exceptionally tidy and tight E36 M3. It has full service history back to when it was purchased new from Team McMillan in 1995. Full Vanos replacement and then just normal wear and tear related repairs. All owners have had for atleast 5 years and clearly haven't had a problem spending money on it. I picked it up for a little bit of fun until we have kids and so will tidy it up and enjoy it for the next little while before moving on and buying a staton wagon...depressing thought. Haha.

Sorry about he avg pic for now. Once I have spent some time on it I will take better pics and upload.

I ended up

Winning this at auction this week. It's an awesome car! And has been so well

Looked after!

I have a pre Evo Avus blue. And it's the first one I have come across.

Quite interesting info you have there, do you know if we have any Avus Blue E36 Evo in the country? Or how many M3's were brought in with that colour? Cheers

They are very useful! I have a V1 at the mo and although I don't use it around town as in my view you should not be speeding around people. But it's great for radar (ka) band which is what the cops use in their cars. Laser is only on the side of he roads and is used mostly on motorways etc. Not at night on a back road heading south.

Can't help but why would you bother these days?

Most of the time if you are going to get caught by a speed trap these days, laser will be used.

So when it goes off it is already too late isn't it? The only thing to combat laser is active jammers. Which are illegal.

Hi, can some please help me with how I can check a serial number of a bell Sti magnum to ensure its legit?

Hey I have a mate if mine that has taken his out recently and was offering it to me. How much are you offering for it?

Ks? Interior?

That was hilarious!!

That was me in the red e39. A total fluke that I saw you guys! I promise Nelson isn't actually that small haha. They're actually Beyern wheels but cheers for the compliment!

Hidden in the bushes out in the wop woops? Or just the normal white ones that are in and around townships?

They have pole mounted revenue collectors............ Most locals know where they are though...........

Do they have hidden cameras in south is? Or just the normal vans?

Not a great pic. We go some awesome chase video and pics with go pro.

E39 down the far end unfortunately...

I was trying to buy a 330ci manual which I thought I had done a deal in but then the guy changed his mind at the last min and I was left with only being able to take my car.

Tell you what tho...The E39 held its own . Not on the really really right stuff but everything else was fine. Still though, would love an m3, e36 or 46

the result could be you buying an e46..

Hey, we did actually end up going through. But completely unexpectedly. The leader took a wrong turn and we were having south fun that we didn't realise until it was to late to turn around. So yest we drove over 800km, starting at 3.30am and arrived in CHCH 7.30!! Big day! Now we are off to fox glacier via Arthur's pass. Another big day ).

Sorry but we just flew straight through Nelson.

Hey who has the red E39 Motorsport on BBS wheels?? It's mint! We drove past him yesterday in Nelson and he flashed his lights .

Yep I'm here for another month or so for work. Give me a txt on 0220790570 if you do end up coming through my way. Would love to catch up with a few of you peeps.

Not sure yet. Just having that convo now. We are heading through to CHCH tonight and thought maybe knock off some roads inland...? But we left Hastings at 3.30 this morning and got into Welly 6.30 for the ferry. And I drove from Auckland last night after work .... So not sure if more windy roads is a smart idea today. You based in. Nelson?
