Forgot to mention man, theres some difference between the early and late style shifter, mines early. The "T" fitting on the early ones is wider, more of an L shape, hence the stack of brass washers on the rod. You should be able to ditch them all if you have a late style one. Dont think one can buy the early style fittings anymore. I installed mine with no driveshaft in the way, so dunno cant answer your question sorry

Surge, think you lucked out there. Looks like its one of the crossover boxes, both shift consoles should fit as it has the attachments for both

Must include foreshore levies, might include taniwha tax too.

Add to the list - Brake calipers, good working order - $40 Manual rack, with colomn and new flex bush - $40 Centre console, both bits, pretty mint - $30 BMW NZ Towbar - $30 Front windscreen, was new 2 months ago - $80 Bonnet is straight and rust free, needs paint - $20 Front random BBS kit (bit busted), and rear Tech 1 kit - $50 Any other peice of trim etc in the car - Whatever you rekon its worth, most of it is pretty tidy and still there so grab it before it gets binned/scrapped

Updated first post with some more solds.

Nice looking low red E36 318iS Number plate was crezzy or similar, yesterday lunchtime down south eastern highway. Was in the shitty black MR2 in front of you.

Just dropped the E30 off at the workshop. Drove flawlessly the whole way, im gonna miss it. Sucks, its the same feeling as driving your family dog to the vet to be put down At leasts its internal organs will live on in other E30's Been driving a tidy low k's SW20 MR2 for the last week, was starting to like it, then I drove the bimmer again, and what an epic sack of sh*t compared to the E30, I will own another (v8 touring tickles my fancy ) Am willing to take offers on the shell, with varying degrees of completeness, save it from the scrap metal dealers. Front screen is new, all the glass is good, it is straight (but a bit rusty) and it has 3 pedals, reg and wof

Forgot to mention, the gearbox has a new slave cylinder on it. Input, ouput, and shifter seals are new. Z3 gearstick includes faux leather boot with M stitching M50 includes a bunch of extra gaskets/orings etc (just went and found them all 5 min ago), and a spare starter. The engine could be stripped further and parted for much more money than im asking (coils/DME etc etc etc). Apart from the headgasket its very tidy, see the pics of its insides in the build thread. Engine and box going together http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/522/pc020525large.jpg/ Rattle gun and sledge were used removing the rear subframe... Not for putting the engine together And an M50'd E30 is not complete without the M3 loom covers

Theyve got a few little rips and tears around the bolsters (I glued the foam back together inside), not suitable for a concours car, but they arent a skanky mess either. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/p9180307large.jpg/ Theyre on NZKW mounts - http://www.nzkw.com/index.php?main_page=pr...products_id=277 With sliding rails as well. The mounting for the seats was ~$400 for the pair new 6 months ago. I bought the seats 2nd hand off APT awhile ago for ~$350.

I have a spare one here if your desperate

Anyone interested in the shell? with lots of stuff still on it. Am flexible on the price, would hate to see it go to be made into paint cans Plates are still live, it has wof and rego too Dropped some prices in original post, Cant beleive wheels/tyres/gearbox/recaros and swaybars remain un claimed

Cheers! Updated first post. Add a box of corona's and the rear end suspension is yours

Will sell 17" Alpina's, with no tyres, for $500. Looking like it'll start to be parted monday.

Edited first post. PENDING - Is wanted, will be changed to sold when paid for/picked up. If your interested in going on the waiting list for a pending sale, PM me and ill be in touch if first ( or 5th in some cases!) one falls through.

Cheers guys will get on to the PM's and phone calls now. A number of people want combos and multiple bits. Can be done, its gonna require a few sorry's but sold though. End of the day its gonna have to come down to first with cash, as well as first to pick up. It'll likely start to be parted on monday, maybe later in the week depends on workload in the shop. What isnt sold will be stored, if you can pick it up/pay quickly, it'll save me the hassle of storage so you'll go up the list It sucks to do this, it was my baby for 4 years, but is becoming too much of a money/time/energy pit. Having to pull it all apart again to do the head gasket broke the camels back. Im busy as feck at work, and am off to the states in september (Got a Challenger RT hire car though ), so really dont have time to screw around with it. Sam@TMBMW - Steering rack seems fine, no noticeable play, its armstrong model BTW. The rod ends were done in december, Ill throw in the coloumn with 3 month old flexbush if ya want it Not sure if I have a pic of the cross member, its a standard one, with the LHS Raised ~40mm (memory) using a welded sheet steel "box". Supports the gearbox properly with the different angle the M50 sits on. The rubber mounts were new genuine BMW E21 ones in december. Theyre are larger and stiffer than the stock E30 ones, but have slightly larger threads (requires a minor wipe with a file to where they slot into box)

Cars been loosing coolant the last 2 months, just slowly. I assumed it was a leaky hose, probably one of the atshole ones for the heater core. Took the car in for it first service today, and too try hunt down the coolant leak. Dropped the oil, and found my coolant leak.. Head gaskets blown. Not feeling particularly impressed with the wrecker I bought the engine from who assured me they compression test and dont put fuct engines on the shelf when I asked.... In fact im thinking stronger words than not impressed are in order. Not loving bmw at the moment either Anything other than head gasket, studs, and a few random gaskets ill need to pull the head and spend more money on this thing? I couldve well and truely been running a rebuilt mint FJ20ET in this thing for what the M50 has cost now!

+100 My e30/m50b25 sounds way tougher than it actually is, burbles at idle, sounds better than most M3's ive heard while screaming, and over-runs are awesome. I have cheap ass mufflers, single 2.5" exhaust, Coby resonator, chinese turbo muffler (added after as initially was far too loud), and the generic shiny twin tipped euro muffler on the back. I can imagine it'd sound like sh*t without the equal length 6-2-1 headers

Whiteline 100% Fixed front, adjustable rear If ultraracing make their sway bars out of the same cheese based steel alloy they make the strut bars out of I seriously wouldnt bother. Ive put 5000 miles on mine so far, Gets the two thumbs up from me. Total bitch to install them, but worth the cursing. I have the 90Sha poly bushes on everything, 6kg springs with the BC golds (surpise surprise they still havent exploded... ), 215/45/17 tyres. Its not exactly a luxurious ride, but isnt ridiculously harsh, I think its sweet as for a spirited daily driver. The owner of a 750iL might think otherwise obviously

Anyone know the p/n of the M20 heater hose at the back of the head to the lower heater core fitting on an E30? Struggling to identify it on realoem.
