Black one is a Vitesse with the later deep front spoiler. The other one is a Vanden Plas EFI with the standard Series 2 spoiler.
-
The same way i did when i had a BMW, lots of degreaser
-
I have a pair. V8 of course
-
Got around to buying a pair of Germanplates for one of my Rovers the other week. $130 shipped for a pair with frames. Will never be able to justify the $370 for "legit" euro plates. Sure, the font isnt the same, but ill take the risk.

Just a reminder of how good this car looked before Andy sold it. Dont be disheartened, its an awesome wagon.
-
@Timythenerd I hope Andy doesnt mind, but this is what he said when i asked about them. I hope this helps. Interesting to note he mentioned the standard temp gauge worked, so it must have been wired correctly back then.
-
Im really glad its gone to someone that will continue building the car up, instead of just trashing it. Some of the issues you mentioned were answered by Andy when i was originally looking to buy the car from him, and may not be an easy fix without more custom work (the tailgate wiring and heater/AC comes to mind). Ill keep checking in on this thread for progress; i look forward to seeing it.

Im sure when i first clicked the link when it was posted, the reserve/buy now was something like $1500. Obviously saw how many views he was getting and upped the price. I dont think 2k is unreasonable for it though. Coupe, 318IS MSport, manual, lush M-Rain vader interior. Be worth more in parts.

Heh, removing context makes it a whole lot different. /What am I, 12?
-
damnit, i shouldve checked the forum a couple of weeks ago and got this instead of the MX5. If its still around in a month or so i'd be keen, but looks like youre probably going to be rid of it by then.

I love the ///M fabric interiors in M cars, so much better than leather. That purple and the interior, plus being an M5. So much win.

Strictly speaking its a manual.

E61 Touring 545 almost complete vehicle $2500 (Damaged)
KwS replied to LemonHunter's topic in TradeMe discussions
"Like 90% of E60/61 Sunroof models theyr common for sunroof drains blocking and flooding floor of car, this one had that aswell as the LH shuttle drains blocked which filled up the ecus with water. Non accident damaged" Lots of electrics live on in the floor pans on these things. -
Can you feel if the inlet and outlet hoses of the heater core are getting hot when the coolant is?
-
ooooooooooh, please tell me this isnt the same stock and very tidy one i saw doing the daily run each day? Looks dumb on those wheels, the stock ones suited it better. Always saw him driving around, and swooned over the iX.
-
The E36 M3 Evo is also well known for having weak bottom end bearings too. Theyre just highly strung engines that need care.
-
What an amazing project that would be. Not keen on the LHD personally, but would be worth converting. I wonder if it has any relation to this thread? Cant be many of this limited model in NZ? http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e34-m5-discussion/67913-1992-e34-m5-lightweight-8.html
-
sh*t i would have been keen at that money, if i had known about it. Its an awesome car.
-
Why? Theres no benefit to the car by having cats. Best not even have a V10 M6 if you care about the environment lol. Those M6s are f**k ugly, but its a cool color. Better than black or silver.
-
No, the germanplates are missing the little reflective fern the NZ plates have
-
Its like $80 vs $300, if you dont get caught. Govt euro plates are crack money.
-
Illegal but good. Didnt have an issue with them on my M3 down here, and theres heaps on cars here now.
-
Wish @_ethrty-Andy_ was still doing German Plates group buys.
-
Yeah, i was looking at it going "oh wow, why do all the good cars come up when im not in the market?!" and then i saw it was auto and closed the page. Its very very nice, but a limited market with that trans, at that price.
-
Best color and interior too
