E30 325i Rag-Top

Did that silver one down in the Hutt Valley ever sell? Skidz went and viewed it, he might have sellers details. Was US Spec though IIRC...

"Most expensive power pole in Auckland" - well it is now!!!

A little bit understated for my liking. Saw this in Rotorua before Christmas as I was driving past, and it didn't look quite as bad in the flesh. Pretty sure there is a Fast & Furious fan out there who is looking for an orange 'vert. Whether they have $50k to drop on a car though is debatable. Bimmersport - home of the Ride Style Police!!

Made me chuckle.By E30 standards those seats are in pretty good condition - I have seen (and sat in) plenty worse than those!!

I read the title of the thread... ..and was a bit disappointed when I read it. I do like a shaved bonnet, but not on an E30!!

What you have there is the options list, also known as the order details. The build list covers everything fitted, including factory standard equipment.

A bit out of date, but many of those numbers are still the same now. All the alpha-numerical options are missing from the list -such as 2TB sports auto, 2PF 19" m-sport alloys etc... Salt, pepper and chili are the MINI options packs, like the 337 M-Sport pack for MINIs. The codes are the same across both brands.

Yup SA build E30s were outside some of the BMW systems and info is sketchy. If you pm me the VIN I can check it out for you. All 'verts have the twin bucket seats in the rear as factory. Paint in the hood stowage possibly looks old as it doesn't often get cleaned or polished.

US version is usually pretty "stripped out" to have a lower banner price, with options to be added to bring it up to NZ base spec levels.

What sort of budget, with or without tyres?

Also started life as a GER spec LHD...

Be careful, the lock of the rear hatch interferes with the fitment of some coupe or sedan tow bars. Just ask me how I know. You can get around it with packers and longer mounts if you can be bothered to stuff about but still a little bit dodgy if you don't get it quite right. I have a full factory (Westphalia) trailer wiring kit if you are interested. Connects into the PDC and lights, etc.

Hey, I have a few manual centre consoles and gearstick boots - with or without electric window switch holes in the garage for cheap. Where are you though - would be pricey to ship? Cheers.

Some nice options on it too..

Yeah, looks tidy. The white exterior with the black leather interior is a good colour combo. Not sure about the fake wood, but easily changeable. The Turners one has the later, much better looking alloys on it, and seems well priced compared to the other two.

I've already ordered ours Dave, don't forget to bring your cheque book to Taupo. Anyone else??

Well, looking at what's left of the car and engine, I think it would fit quite easily in an E30. Probably fit the engine in the glove box with the state it's in.Always amazes me how many people manage to hit a power pole smack bang in the middle of their car - the round thing, in your hands, turn it!! I think "clipped a power pole" may be under-selling it a little.

I like the Mexiflush!!

Nice one just gone in TradeMe for Turners in CHCH, alpine white. Will post a link when I can get to a PC, can't seem to do it on my phone.

Why are you looking to get them powder coated? Powders are only available in limited colours, and can't be matched like paint. To get the right CSL colour in powder would be pretty lucky.

Just checked and that is the side that I have a spare one of, part number on the housing is 63.17-2 228 613 and it is a used genuine BMW part. The only thing is it has the rippled glass, not the smooth as is shown in your photo. The covers that I have are completely different to the one in your picture - no idea if they would fit on an E39 as again they are from an E46.

When you say right side, do you mean as you look at the car, or when sitting in the car? I think this is the same as the E46 M-Sport 2 fog lamp. I will check which side I have spare.

If it's what I think it is, then I have got one in the shed for you Rich.

A few peeps pulled over on the way up to Bay of Islands, also a very visible "Police SAFETY Camera" van, well that's what it said on the side anyways!!
