    I sold my gear (cam alignment tool + cam check tool + shim tool) to form member J-dog Sep-14. Don't know if he is still around but would be worth a PM. I spent a lot of time cutting through all of the "internet shite" around how to set up the Vanos. It has been a couple of years since I did this but can advise as required

    I'll swap you stock 19" + cash :)

    Sorry but Ray scored those early on - will update my BS add

    Don't budge. The price is right for your car. It will sell to someone who knows what they're looking at. Someone who just wants to buy a cheap M3 can buy one for $25K and then watch it cost them twice yours in 5 years on maintenance.

    Cheers - I am staying firm on my price but (elephant in the room!) I have brought a new SS and now more than ever I find it hard to justify having the M3 in my garage. Yes I know - traitor/loser/idiot but when my daily was a ute it wasn't hard to pick the M3 for that special trip. Now the SS is not a bad drive - hopefully the honeymoon will still be over soon and (failing a sale on my terms) the M will shine through and the romance will begin again

    That's a beautiful car with so much goodness thrown at it. I think you may struggle to get much value out of that goodness though from the casual buyer. I think your market at that price is a very specific buyer, one that understands and wants all the same goodness.

    Do you still have the original parts? If so you could swap them on, drop the price and sell the aftermarket parts separately. You'll still struggle to get your investment back on the maintenance though. :(

    I have been selling the original parts off as the people who have viewed is so far are keen on the car as it sits versus stock. The plan has been to recover what I can from the parts and wait for the right buyer

    It would certainly make a real nice daily driver.

    The price is right. Worth every cent with all the work already done. Unless you are desperate do not budge, I`m sure the new owner will be along soon.

    It needs to be sitting at Hellbm where many potential buyers come and go.

    Cheers Ray - yes it would get musc better exposure at yours than mine (last census my town had 960 permenant residents). Problem with yours is that I would turn my back and it would have a S62 in it - hmmm............

    Would love to have it, but nowhere near being able to afford it.

    To be honest if I was in the market to spend over $30k on a car, it would be hard to justify buying an E46 M3 over an E90 335i...

    I'd probably still get the M3 though...

    Would have agreed until I drove a 335 - very nice but not a sports car

    I wonder if the way you've phrased your sales pitch is potentially deterring buyers? To someone that understands the weaker points of the E46 M3 your ad is reassuring, but for someone that knows nothing about the car other than it's scary fast perhaps it's subliminally raising a red flag?

    111,000 km on a 12 year old car is still only 9,000km p/a. Realistically speaking, the motor is only just run in. At 25k that would have to be the steal of the year :)

    Yes I thought about this - might keep it simple next TM sale cycle

    So the M3 sold to a guy from Grey Lynn - give him a wave/toot/flash when you see him around. Sold off most parts too so got a pretty good settlement all things considered (i.e. current market value for these cars). Still have stock suspension, personalised plates (I BMW3 I), cam tools (cam alignment, cam check, valve shim tool) and diagnostics computor to move, any interest please send me a PM. Sad day yesterday handing over the keys but gone to a good home

    What is an offer you would consider on the tyres? Cheers

    Just looked at the Hyperdrive website. They are quoting $352 each for the fronts and $432 for the rears - so $1,568 brand new.

    Less 25% (being my estimate of the wear) = $1,176

    So my buy now of $800 is a bit rich for second hand - $600 sounds like o good BS member price

    Note that Ray is organising transport for another item so if you are keen this may be an easy way to get the tyres to Auckland?

    Cheers

    I am having trouble selling my M3, I am after a big price but I just need to find the right enthusiast who can recognise the value. I had one serious enquiry and off which has reduced my price expections so plan B is to re-advertise at my bottom price and sell off my extra parts seperately. Prices for these parts are open to negotiation to BS members

    Has anyone purchased from this store? Looking at a few things i want to bring over and would like to know what theyre service is like.

    I have made a few purchases with no problem at all. The only issues have been mine (not realising difference between LH and RH drive parts and also think their Real BMW brand was OEM)
