    You'd have to really love the e36 to spend upwards of 10k on one considering you could get a considerably more modern e46 or e8/9x with low km's in manual for far less than 20k, and they're all superior vehicles, vastly in some cases.

    I'm not sure paying for nostalgia, for anything other than an M-car, is wise money.

    Not superior in style. Older the better.

    If paint’s not due, surely a manual swap? Or are you planning to just keep it bone stock.

    Have a set of 18” M-Pars coming, will do coilovers at the same time. 
     

    Will manual convert later in the year and once that’s done I’ll just do stainless headers and exhaust. Don’t want to stray too far away from factory unless I can put original parts back on easily.

    Was the 325 manual atleast?

     

    Yeah but look at them, they look like crap 😂. I’m the type of person who would drop $20k on a low mileage example (because I did), but wouldn’t look twice at either of those. Big difference between a cared for, garaged, supermarket trip once a week example and one that’s sat outside deserted for 20 years. Apples and oranges. 

    Also, In regards to a paint correction needing doing, it must have been done recently because it’s spotless. 

    Anyways! I’ll take proper photos and put up a showroom thread sometime this coming week.

    Yep, sold. I bought it. It’s in as new condition. Sure, you can buy a “tidy” one for around 10k with 100,000km on it but I would rather spend and extra $9,000 for one that’s literally in “as new” condition with 25,000km on the clock. You won’t find a nicer one.

    Gotcha. Can you not drill new holes 20mm up?

    Haha na if anything I need to weld another plate on. I’m horrible at explaining things lol. The red dots on the image below are where the recaro seat holes are. I have a feeling I was supplied the wrong part so gonna re check. 

     

    Edit: I wasn’t supplied NZKW frames, just using as an example image.

    Your seats are bottom mount right? What is "too low" on a bottom mount seat frame?

    I mean length-wise. From a birds eye view the bottom two holes in the base are about 2cm lower than where they need to be. I’ve got a plan B with some slide rails that I’ll attempt tomorrow and see how it goes

    If you can get 2 x Recaro (edit: brand) rails and sliders for NZ$700 you should have already hit buy now.

    Nothing anyone can make for that price will come remotely close to fit, functionality and adjustability.

     

    E46 M3 rails and slider combo are $360 NZD per side ex Japan. Plus shipping and taxes came to around $1,000. Also they make them to order so a two month wait ?

    Hey guys

    Before I drop around $700 on recaro rails/sliders for both sides, has anyone got another solution or suggestions to install Recaro SR-7 reclineables in an E46 M3?

    I've tried the NZKW / Scarles mount frames and even though they are universal they don't fit with these Recaros.

    Is anyone here good with fabricating a pair? 

    Cheers
