sorry you confused me. what wheels did you trial fit that didnt work out?

you need some LED rear tailights wheels look perfect, fitment is 100% too.

good effort on the listing dave only took a few tries to get it right haha. man this looks like a nice little project i would love to get in on but dont have the space right now

i dont see you complaining anytime soon ?

must be a nice upgrade. same same but different!

if you want to come out this way then autolign is good, mt wellington.

yep haha, what engine does your 318ci have?

its hilarious to think that going from an E30 to an E46 is considered a downgrade

:0

definitely a bit of a project but should be good fun

also u need to realise that this car has been re-registered. whether it was just a case of rego lapsing from being unused or involved in an accident then repaired, you wont know. like i said in my first post. if you need/want the money, i would keep and sell the bike (no risk or less risk since its already yours) if you want a toy and something to tinker with and *potentiall* sell for more (or less) then you can go ahead with the swap.

it could have just been sitting unused for years but more likely the odo stopped working (common issue for e30's) and then someone fixed it in 2017? how long has the seller owned it for? they must know the story if its a genuine seller or if its a flipper then do your own research. but tbh, its definitely done more than 114 whatever kms lol

if you are more confident to sell your bike for 6k, i would sell it for 6k. because its something you have already owned and probably know the condition etc. whereas if you swap, then you are giving away your known bike for an unknown e30 and you *might* get 6k, maybe more but maybe not. you might also spend money on it or decide to keep it (not necessarily a bad thing) really depends if you want a toy or want the money. i wouldnt swap if you want the money.

oil filter housing gasket if it hasnt been done, rocker cover also common issue. its never a good idea to mix oils. fully synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 is good. even for top up's i'd try keep it the same.

paint stripper, light sand and paint? doesnt look like theres any kerbing, just old paint so strip it back and do it new all good

are they genuine? plenty of places in AKL that could refurb without sandblasting, wonder why they suggested to sandblast?

the prices for E30's have been this way for a good 5 years now and good examples are near impossible to find. anything sub 5k is definitely project material and anything that can be driven is asking 8k+ for basic auto and around 13-15k for something slightly desirable in manual.
