Shivers. I wouldn't know where to look for half of that! Haha I'll try to arrange another viewing. Thanks!

Someone elsewhere said "It looks like it's an SE, too with skirts and boot spoiler so probably has an electric roof... " I guess they were wrong.

Sounds like fun. Are you trying to sell it to me? I don't have $8k sorry

Which company?

Yea to be honest I would rather have a 320 /318 for cheaper but since the 325 didn't seem much more it seemed like a good deal. On trademe there are no decent E30 alternatives in Wellytown that I can see...

Please by all means down the car, I want to make an informed decision! Taken on board what you said, just one thing; you say "$4000 sounds a bit steep considering it has no service history" yet in the auction it says "Tool kit included and all past and present owners paper work and receipts." ...Is service history something different? edit - typo

Please elaborate... do you mean hes a sh*t photo taker or the exterior looks avg? The paint is fadey in patches and the previous owner had done a shite job of repainting the replacement sunroof, but I'm not sure if I should be expecting any more from an 18yr old car? ta

Oh and if you can recommend any alternative E30's in the lower North Island let me know I wanna have some wheels for the mystery drive!

What looks dodgy about it? I have test driven it with a more experienced mate and he couldn't fault it. Revved high etc. The only issue was the air pipe for the fuel pressure regulator had become brittle and was leaking / sucking air, probs hurting pickup & fuel economy a wee bit. Would love any input on more problems! Edit - typo

pics and auction

Its still 90% petrol... can't see it being that viable unless of course its cheap.

Hey, I was just offered a 1990 325i auto SE (mtec wheel, mtec body kit, spoiler, leather, 13btn OBC, map lights etc) with 151,000 k's, the odd scratch, missing front lip spoiler, and muffler on its last legs, for $4000. Would I be right in thinking I should be able to get the price down a little lower? Especially since the muffler won't be cheap to replace... (how much would it be to replace including labour?) What do you reckon would be a reasonable offer? Ta.

waffle!

Keep the 15's

Who was charging you that?

The f**k is your issue bud? I suppose you think I'm a hoodie and gangster hat wearing hoon who believes the "baddest" thing you can do to a car is bag it on 20's with a 6" wide exhaust? Wrong.

Olds say no way as if I crash their clean record will be tarnishe, loose the no claims B etc. I'll go nag some more

I just rang around a few places with regards to 3rd party on a 1990 325i worth $3500. I'm 16 and on a learners, car parked on street in friendly area. AA wouldn't insure it, ami wouldn't insure it, state wouldn't insure it. All because they dont insure engines with a 2500cc rating or more for youngans. I then made up I had a 1987 320i with 175,000ks worth $3000. Again neither ami or state would cover me, however AA was helpful. they offered a $356 per year premium (3rd party, no fire&theft). The excess was a whopping $1300. Basically its not worth me insuring a car lol. Out of the 3 places AA were the friendliest n most professional. The State feller was a git, and the ami chick was friendly but a tad ditsy.
