Our 325i's got one, located next to the steering column.Just need to get the radio that matches it from the previous owner like he promised, I'll see what waving some small claims papers at him does.....

If you can get it for under a grand go for it.. If you can't, my advice would be to leave it. With a short hunt you can find a lot nicer examples.

Pics...

Exactly what Wagon said, providing you can find one.. It will be just as hard as any engine swap.I'm all for using a BMW engine and doing nasty things to it.. ie turboing them - it's not the most "pure" way to get power out of them but it works for ones chronically lacking it. M50 swap would be your best option Chris.

M50B35/B25 Turbo...

Ask him to remove the gauge pods, take off the chromes and put the stock wheels back on, then offer him $3-4k. That's what I did... I've rung up so many people advertising BMW's with chromes then asked them "how much without chromes" and they take off $2k at least..

Holy hell thats a beautiful car. Nice work. And yeah debage = win.

318i 1986 2-door Auto - immaculate condition I paid $1800, $1 per CC Wouldn't pay anymore than $2.5k

That's a wicked video - Have some other ones from there. Download it all

Graeme, if you've got the centre console please add it to the package - this one's had far to many coats of paint, ain't looking good. Also regarding my current dash, I managed to get the white plastic bubble layer crap off but it's right royally stuffed up the rest of it.. So I'll be needing that thanks. Jonty, that glovebox sounds good. Providing you can box these items up, I can send up some courier tickets, who will pick it up no matter what size it is - so it's cool. Can you please PM me with some total prices (being fair and reasonable of course!) or we can barter with some PC-shizmo - http://www.surgepc.co.nz (if thats down your alley..) Thanks for all the help guys.

So... I'm after the following: 2x Far left, and right air vents (and surrounding brackets) 1x Instrument panel surround 4x Plastic internal door sills (the bits which hold the carpet down) 1x Electric window up/down switch for centre console (preferably lighted) 1x Glovebox, and all required mountings. 1x Rear parcel tray + factory speaker covers. 1x Dash, May need one.. Depends how this one comes up. Bound to be more stuff I require, so I'll keep editing this post. Figured I best enquire here before I get ripped by the wreckers. Thanks for your help. BTW - Car is 1990 325i SE 4dr

Why I brought the car. Thankfully he hadn't got to the outside, Bar one thing... He had removed one windscreen wiper for "the touring car look" and placed it on the passenger side wipermount - thus resulting in a wiper at standstill that stopped right bang in the middle of the windscreen. Both wipers have been attached now and the car looks normal from the outside.

Behold, the "sports exhaust" - Near impossible to have a conversation inside the car without shouting. Will sell on trademe to a Skyline/Evo/Subby owner, or more likely a 4cylinder hot hatch owner.

I've already removed the lower centre console (that surrounds the gear stick) in order to paint it black from the white - that graced most of the front half of this car.. O and metallic blue air vents and dash surrounds! - one air vent drivers side does not move as it stuck with paint.

"Slap some 6x9's in there ou" The previous owner had realised 6x9s would not fit, so he cut the rear parcel tray until the lower half of them did... However they could not be screwed in due to the botched cutting, so they bounced ontop of these holes. Anyone got a parcel tray?? E30 - facelift, 4dr.

The previous owner apologized to us about not having the other black pillar in matching white (Because his custom gauge pod got nicked!) sometimes I wish I had a custom gauge pod :jap: (sarcasm)

Middle Section (notice the glue stuck to the dash, should be easy to remove though) Also where the previous owner has "customised" the lower half by spray painting it.

Here are some pics of what the current view from the drivers seat is like. Imagine the whole area of the dash was covered with this white sticky-outy plastic (which it was) and that I had enough self control to own the car for less than 12 hours before removing it with a screwdriver and pliers....

Hey guys, Thanks for your replies, Graeme hold that bumper in the mean time (for a few days!) until I get this car in the flesh so I can see exactly what I need to source. Jonty, Don't suppose you have a picture of that towbar, also if you know - What is the tow rating of it. I'll post pictures of it when I get the car in "my rides" section.... I'm sure you'll have a good laugh at what this guys done to the interior.

Andrew, the old man says that price is too cheap - what time did you spend on that exterior, 4 hours? Should be charging at least a hundy (He's a car detailer)

The only lighting modification I'd want to do to my car would be some decent ellipsoids (replace the sealed beams) and some white/clear front indicators to keep the front looking the same. As for the rear lighting? How often do you look at your own ass? Just to re-enforce... Repeat 100 times.. "My car is not an Altezza"

Hi All, Specifically after a towbar to fit a 1990 E30 325i (thats been bastardised by a ricer, pics sometime this week...) So will be needing a number of interior pieces to correct the "custom interior detailing....." Complete interior would be a good start! Let us know what you have got, someone must be wrecking an E30..

Two E34 M5's reside here in Ch-ch (I'm assuming they're genuine.. - definately had the looks) Both parked on the same street Mind you trademe is selling a few ///M badges lately....

Yeah, The Chome bumpers don't do it for me.... I intend to paint the plastic bumper the same as my car, then leave the black moulding strip, or something along those lines. Should give my car badass +5.

Sweet as Sparkle, Bimmer boy. PM me your addys and I'll come and burn your hou.... Send my vids...
