  1. Years ago mum had an auto 120i, yip the only problem was mystery fluid leak onto exhaust which BMW at the time were stumped by. Handled really well and used piss all petrol.

    NZ New E30

    Are those photos of your car or your house? Haha. Great buy, I think we all had that on our watchlist! The seats aren't normal cloth, notice the sides are cloth too, and the cloth is more luxurious, harder wearing E34 cloth.

    Happy birthday dude
  4. Just putting it out there, I would like a Fiji green 'ltd edition' 318iS sedan, I like the colour. Give me a bell if anyone has one for sale. Nathan
  5. Mercedes used in certain E and S classes of the '90s a wiring loom with biodegradable insulation. It is O.K provided the climate is dry, as it is sealed from any rain. But the constant high humidity in that area got at it anyway, causing gremlins in the loom. Jaguar had something similar.
  6. Arent S classes made in China too? 'Shouldn't affect design or quality of a vehicle, spec's and customer demands/expectations affect that. The Chrysler I would buy for grunt , however point made, it shouldn't be compared to a roller. 760iL; I cant count how many problems we used to see on new E65s (some hilarious) years ago when I was at Jerry Clayton, I can even remember the number plates of some that came in they were such frequent visitors! Every car has it's issues.
  7. Where are they made? I have owned a few of the Mercedes' that the 300C is based on and loved the ride/drive so im sure the Chrysler is a good car to drive as well when fitted with a decent motor.
  8. Golf GTI's look good in black and white, that car does not. Eurotrash.
  9. That is off the hook cool! My family sold a bunch of land etc to those Goh's in the 90's, they also have a crazy big boat in auckland at the moment

    Not a tall story

    Good work, nice catch! Took the boat out this evening mostly to air out the mattresses etc and have just finished filleting a few really nice snapper, little bit happy.
  11. Good for-sale photos for a BS member for once, glws
  12. re: the battery tray rust, I had the battery tray area on my last E30 completely cut out and rebuilt/sealed for under $1000 IIRC, including a firewall rust hole repair also.
  13. I don't usually offer negative opinions, but $3k for a damaged auto SE... I had trouble selling a calypso SE manual sedan 325i with same km's for $2800
  14. PFL Clubsport for sale on trademe To keep the OP on track, the red car has the sport kit which was available before Msport kit came out. A mate of mine (Hamish who used to have an M3 Evo on here) had a manual 328i Sport as pictured, when we were students in Duds. It met a remarkably similar fate.
  15. At the risk of derailing a thread for good (sorry OP, clean this up if necc!) this is what we in NZ as a clubsport: Most were in Estoril ish blue, and a similar shade of purple/violet
  16. ^Weren't the clubsports the last E46 coupes with facelift headlights etc and sport kit, jazzy paint, M5 style wheels and a boot spoiler?
  17. Notwithstanding the fact that it doesn't take a genius to presume that it just has AC badges and wheels, when I was a teenager I remember our neighbour getting an identical car in Dakar yellow and it was some form of special edition/ order. This may be from the same handful. Wrecked cars make me shudder these days where once I imagined a bargain.
  18. Beat me to it. I'm surprised that anyone knows where Whangaparaoa even is, so many Aucklanders do not!

    My baby. 95 740i

    Slick looking ride you have there, nice.
  20. Yes that is a particularly crap for sale advert dude. We try to give good accurate descriptions of worthwhile goods in this section to help maintain its integrity. If you really can't conjure up a good description, use the trademe spec's format. Goodness, even tell us the year and model. As per most forums around, upload photo to a hosting site and image link the the url. Also, convince us that it is a worthwhile advert to qualify being in a BMW themed area
  21. Plenty of black bumpers are actually already painted black.... Unsure about E30s though, you would think I could remember after owning 6 or 7 of them haha
  22. Yeah.... surely we all understand that shoe polish is for shoes and leeches into the leather, impregnating it with black dye. BUMPERS ARE PLASTIC, with very very low porosity. Nothing will reverse the chemical process of UV rays. Have the bumpers professionally repainted black.
  23. The couple of sets that I have purchased for short times in the past and flicked off, have paid $600-800. Mind you, these were standard width. Replicas I have had were 795.

    This 745i

    Ac Schnitzer made the kit and wheels. Save for the chance of it being replica kit
