ur welcome

what would being a dudette explain just out of curiosity??

For prices give us a call on 262 3752 ask for Kerwin he will sort you out.

thanks!! definitly miss the sound and the power but sure don't miss the petrol bill, I have a heavy foot and since my 325 sounded nice imo i would floor it everywhere :S not good for my wallet. hahaha my 318 sounds horrible, even more horrible then the usual 4 cyl as there is something wrong with the exhaust, but hopefully a bit of money and effort from pitstop (or the like) will help out with that, and don't worry you won't see a huge rice muffler sticking out the back. That 325 was a bit of a pig really, little bits n pieces were had it eg. the all too common example door pannels - clips broken, and fabric hanging off. would have tidied it up if it was a manual but since it wasn't i didn't see the point for me. hahaha the altezza corner lights they looked good imo on the black 3er it just made the whole area around the lights black with the chrome grill standing out. but since i bought them I thought i better keep them at least until i get sick of them.

cool thanks

does anyone know where I could get a short shift kit for my manual conversion?? I saw some on trade me a few months back before I got my conversion and wish I had of got on when I saw them.

definitly, i would have loved to have lined up a few mean e30's with mine for a photoshoot

i love your car, sometimes wish i still had my lil e30, that car was definitly my baby, took very good car of that one

black is my fav car colour hard to keep clean but looks mean on a straight car, either that or gun metal grey

I tried photoshopping it for you, it is hard to do as painting things black doesn't always work and trying to make them look real is quite hard too. I also tinted the windows jut for fun hehehehe hope this gives you an idea of the wheels sorry it didnt work trying again

looks sweet, I never really liked the red coupes or the silver coupes but hey look what I got a silver coupe and the silver and the red have actually grown on me. The wheels really suit the car looks awesome. I love wheels that are easy to clean!!! hate washing my parents cars, dad's got m5 wheels on his 5 series and mum has sum multi spoke wheels and they are the worst to clean

I will see what I can do Thanks I had the image of it set in my mind and aimed for that, it would have had the same wheels as my 325 except some guy wanted to buy it with the wheels, gave me a deposit and at that time the thruxtons came up (I wanted them ages ago, when I had my E30 I wanted them) so I used the deposit to get the thruxtons and then the guy backed out of the sale so I was stuck with an extra set of wheels. However the wheels completed the package of the 325.

Thanks!!! I think its at a good ride height its not too low, it only just scrapes over speed bumps now as it is so I got to be careful, but its not so low that I'm going to damage something. I got the conversion kit from my work (European Autospares) got it at a special rate as I'm staff, I'm not sure how much they are actually worth but I paid bout $800 incl. GST for mine. The kit was already on the car, but my work (European Autospares) will more then likely have them, or at least be able to get hold of some

hahaha you don't wana know, I privately imported it and it ended up costing more then I expected around the 12k mark :s which is bad because I would struggle to get that for it now, but its ok as I am happy with the final result and I will be keeping it for a while....

Here is my new car, finally all together and on the road. At the moment it's an 1998 auto 318is coupe, its done 51,000 kms it is the twin cam 1900cc model though, I have a manual conversion kit to go in it, I am just waiting for a new clutch kit, which I am only able to get in mid January. I have lowered it on Bilstein springs, it has the full m-tech kit, a sun roof, m-tech steering wheel, M3 wing mirrors, I put some 18" tsw thruxtons on it I like the deep dish look on BMW's. I am trying to source an E36 M3 EVO two piece spoiler for the rear, I am planning on tinting the windows then it should be sorted.... I have an alpine head deck, JVC and Pioneer components and a 15" sub in the back which is being replaced by two 12"s at xmas. The interior is Half leather and half cloth with motorsport style front seat. Hope you guys like it as much as I do

Daily driver relative to the good old money issue would be my soon to be manual silver E36 coupe, however I do miss my E30 :'( ultimately if money didn't matter there is a huge list lets say if it was a BMW it would be E30 M3 or E46 M3 as well as these a version 6 (1998 shape) Subaru WRX STI Coupe type R. Oh yea lets not forget the HSV GTO coupe..... exotic= Lamborghini Murcielago

soon you will ROT8M3 a black E36 M-tech coupe, lowered on 19" stilletos, it looks pretty mean, not sure what type of rotary engine is in it never really asked

Yea I know, they look allright but I don't want to get the cops on me. so im going to go for black tints instead.

I thought I would post a pic of an E36 which I chopped too look similar to what I wanted mine to look like, It is almost ready to go on the road, just had the paint touched up and am currently putting it back together and doing a manual conversion, I will post pics in the rides section once it is complete

I completely agree with everyone, I thought that sounded a bit stupid, and I also would have thought there would be a higher percentage of manuals that are NZ new than the amount of manuals imported especially if they were imported from Japan. (They love their autos up there, my dad loves the old mini's and has looked at some on a japanese import website and 98% of them are auto) Owell cheers for your imput everyone.... I was under the same impression as you all

A friend of mine rang BMW (I think it was Team Mcmillan - not 100% sure though) They have done a manual conversion on an E36 coupe and they rang up after a peddal box, and they said that they have no such thing as a manual E36 coupe on their system. I was thinking what about the M3 E36's. But apparantly they were saying that according to their records there are no E36 318i, 320i, 325i, 328i coupes in the country. My mate was asking if that meant that they never made them... The only thing I could come up with was that maybe there were no manual ones that were "NEW" in NZ. Im guessing all the manual ones may have been imported.... Anyone have any info on this?? Cheers Shorty

Hope this looks alrite, and is what you wanted... Cheers, Shorty

Hahaha I will give it a go, don't know how reliable it will be though.

I want one, I always say that but I really really want one.......
