I would be buying a Z4M if you want more significant appreciation over the short to medium term, and if you only plan on driving a handful of times per year. Same S54 engine, manual box, but much lower production numbers. I appreciate more $$$ (and patience) may be required to get into one of those though. Most of the good condition E46 M3’s have been sold privately lately FYI.

As above. I purchased these tyres from Hyper 10 days ago. Unfortunately they were slightly too large for the rear of my E46 Touring, and went back to stock 255/35/18 MPS4's. Literally done 10km (Grey Lynn to Takapuna), hence tyres are in near brand new condition. Have receipt to confirm purchase. Pick up North Shore or Auckland CBD. $700 ono.

Preferably in silver with 42mm - 43mm shank length.

Que @M3_Power; I recall a post that either you wrote or referred to discussing the structural foam reinforcement method at length?
-
Was recently on Trademe for $19,990 at a dealer in Auckland - rough as guts by the looks. Hifly tyres on an M3...?♂️.

Staggered - 18x8 ET30 with 225/40/18 on the front, 18x9 ET44 with 245/35/18 on the rear. I ideally would like a tyre with a slightly taller sidewall on the rear, however these tyres came with the wheels so I am running them until they need replacing. Plan to replace with a 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 on the rear to gain a bit of ride comfort and to fill the arch out a little more.

Will get some tonight ?

Given you're a CSL guru, how do you think these compare to you your genuine CSL wheels? Are you able to do a side by side shot of both? I appreciate they're replicas so won't be 100% matched, but wondered about the spoke thickness, correct concavity etc. Appears plenty of people have purchased these wheels going by M3Cutters.
-
I don't mean to shoot your ad down Tom, but going through CMWheels direct it appears you can get a brand new set of CSL wheels shipped to NZ for circa $1,700NZD. $1,426 for the wheels and shipping, plus $268 for GST and entry fees at the border. Very tempting to grab a set at that price!

The M3 surrounds are a slightly different shape unfortunately! They need to be specific ZHP/MSport surrounds.
-
Thanks Jon, if they're the right fitment I'll take up your offer ?
-
As above - after a pair, new or used I do not mind.
-
I could arrange transport for the right price. If you would like to know anything else about the car just let me know ??
-
I appreciate you’re specifically looking for M54B30’s, but would you consider B25’s? My sedan is on the market; see the thread below: http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/60062-fs-2003-estoril-blue-e46-325i-motorsport-individual/

A shame that you have to parts ways with it Tom, great base for someone to build on. Hope the treatment goes well ??
-
No it hasn’t sold, but will be re-listed in due course (unless a BS member fancies taking off my hands).
-
How many k's on UK roads? Manual or SMG?
-
Thanks Paul, that's great to know. You probably couldn't get a better market comparison! I have now listed mine on Trademe - https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1649485921
-
Not sure unfortunately. Maybe someone on here may know?
-
Cheers, would be great to sell it to a member!
