Thank god you dont have metallic enamel paint or whatever my cars have been.... gard- x KILLS old re-spray areas over time, and even some original paint. Apparently it's designed for water- based car paint only.

Looks awesome tim, I used to see it around a lot in auck when you first got it good luck with the sale:)

i love it! laughed out loud. id love to build a vehicle

Nice looking car, good luck with the sale I remember like it was yesterday when it was last for sale! In fact i think i still have the trademe ad!

Snob thread alert! arent these just stories of everyday people living everyday lives? mine was owned by a man who drove it, had a job and earned money. Im not sure how rich he was, well known his name is, or glamourous his wife was, but he cared for the car

Never seen one of those BBS kits on a car here i dont think? But yeah 'superficial' rust on a pre FL heh

Those holdens are almost up there with GTHO falcons for collectability..... (seriously) was the only colour they came in i think

Nah thats a proper one, they were a pretty limited run i think.... with proper mods

very NASCAR

Thankyou andrew- auto gearboxes are best left in D. it is recommended that autos arent run in neutral or park for very long at all. fact of life

You could try in at the Mercedes service agent on mill lane too, Scotty has been nothing short of amazing with me, he comes highly recommended, but may not be a diff specialist??

Haha awesome idea.... human rights meh- but yeah black market urine, good point! i see a business opportunity...... Does every woman you see want to get a glimpse? I wouldnt know what to think, where to look, or what people would think of me if a girl gawked at me....

Manual conversions are well worth it if you can do it, and/or really like your particular car- and are more reliable than an old auto. I myself buy a manual car if I want one. Well put.

M325 has black headliner. THATS IT.co.uk done done done thats ya lot

love the car! love the colour, and the wheels- just drop it a tiny bit is all..... And hello guys- forgotten about SE spec?

What about Hi Tower's 316i compact? its seriously nice, and very well serviced

I live in Dunedin too and i walk everywhere as i dont have a car, but I still know that unless you REALLY hate driving and Auckland traffic, and refuse to let it become part of your day, buses are just too inconvenient and expensive to use. I used to drive peak hour every day in Auck, and only really found Onewa Rd bad- possibly not even bad, just 'annoying' I would keep driving and paying, only until the price was seriously shocking compared to my other expenses and income, and affecting my lifestyle.

Hmmmm havent had toooo bad luck with bmws on any real sense- although i took someone up the arse in my bmw in the same week as i got taken up in a JCbmw car.... Worst would have to be having been the meat in a sandwich in my E class, and also my E's alternator shitting itself on the harbour bridge and breaking down....

Its perfectly possible to privately import- When i was at JC we stored for a customer 2 cars he imported- a new 320d, and a new 525d... Sucks though because BMW NZ isnt fully tooled/ parted up for the 525d (or wasnt at the time, and im pretty sure the model isnt on offer here still)

Cool looking car sans spoiler... You would think that a person who has owned such an expensive car for 16 years would be able to spell 'everythink' and 'shitzner' correctly! Nevertheless it is obviously the real deal and must be good

Hes so hot

Yeah as andrew said- no hope. Flaring is some thingee's inside it getting old and hardening

Ask BMW to do an option check on it- should come up with the applicable spec. That vin decoder only says what the car STARTED as, not what it was spec'd/ registered as....

those 'Throwing stars' do look great WITH SHADOWLINE, but they arent at question, so i vote alpina. Why not sell the e28 and get the E28 B9 3.5 (nz new, german built) for 11k?! but then again, i suppose that isnt at issue either!

madandy- I am offering friendly advice on the original posted question....
