leave it blue, looks good

scratch that. his buy now price is 38k and has an offer for 35k. I have a feeling it will get close to his asking price thru auction anyway.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/2828385772 gonna be keeping an eye on this auction.. it might finally be time to get into an M3.. was originally thinking E92 but might be an E46 even better!!

there are plenty of "better" options out there than an E30 but its not an E30. I mean for 10-15k you can get an E9X 335i which is similar in price to the current day E30 market values.

I have made contact but no reply.. edit: it almost makes that red one seem cheap at 22k doesnt it

? shhh

As reliable as it gets pretty much

Funcargo?

I was expecting a random thread dig post from a new overseas member but was pleasantly surprised. Haha

Yep 155kms rotors will need replacing soon

Bit of a fail today. rears are a near perfect fit front has a tiny rub on the strut A 2mm spacer would fix it but dont want to run it without cert so back to the drawing board. I hear the wheel gods whispering to me “Buy more wheels”...

looks like a nice example, cheapest Msport on the market atm it seems. Ive bought a car from them before. The battery died within a couple months and they organised a new one to be installed and coded when I called and told them about it. The car I got was a very low mileage 325i wagon, like 4x,xxx kms but the suspension was really bad so ended up spending about 2000 to replace it all. Makes me wonder if they know what they are importing.. (I assume most dealers dont really care, its a pure numbers game anyway) Regarding your one, since its at almost 100,000kms I suspect it will need some work but pretty much it will be the same story whichever one you buy thats for sale currently unless its privately owned with service history (unlikely, as most of the ones I see for sale are fresh imports). You are taking a risk which ever one you buy so either have deep pockets with enough spare change to cover the bills or prepare to get it sorted after you buy it for peace of mind. I would budget $2-3000 for "everything". Otherwise you could get mechanical warranty and wait for things to die and claim it. Either way, its suddenly going from a 20k car to a 23k car pretty much.

got a link to the car you're looking at?

Probably because the 730i has the baby v8 not the 3L i6. M52b28 vs m60b30

I have seen many positive reviews about royal steering wheel uk. I think its definitely the go-to place to get this job done properly.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/2823005624 I would probably get this if it wasnt halfway across the planet

I did the wrap before on a non m steering wheel and it wasnt too hard. But makes it quite thick so doing it on an already thick msport wheel im not so sure

how much is that? that smooth leather is so much nicer..

definitely looks tidy.. wonder how it is mechanically..

Ahh its your old one! Price hasnt changed much since when you sold it then haha. Its certainly one of the cheapest for sale at the moment

its not that cheap given 200kms. ive seen some sell for 23-25k with 100-130kms not too long ago.

my gosh, the green on the Style 19 is ridiculous. As much as I love the ACS type 2's.. the Style 19's win it for me personally.

the 2.8L in a 7 series isnt as bad as it sounds. its certainly no rocket but it can still cruise very well and still get up to speed reasonably quick. I think you cant be picky with E38's given how few there must be now

@modz your m3 wheels would suit this guy
