also keeping in mind this one has been torn down and inspected. id say its a decent deal.

sweet jebus it looks good in red. Shame about the comfort seats though.

Being a Jap import, probably high operating hours, low KM.

would be easy to check with a fuel pressure gauge, wouldnt it? Watch for pressure drop at the rail?

Heres the link btw. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=980763491 Looks very nice, interesting with the quad pipes too. My neighbour has one in the same color and its such a stunning blue. Be worth paying attention for chain guide and torque converter issues.

jebus, 9K for a jap import PFL sedan that isnt even Motorsport? yeah, f**k that.

I run Falkens, good compromise between price and performance. Would buy them again without hesitation. Bet theyd be miles better than RFTs too.

metal in rad, drain and flush system. maybe check waterpump for failure. drop, drain and flush fuel tank. maybe flush hard lines. wheres the rust and how bad? is it just cosmetic, or will it become a structural issue? water in footwell is probably rust or sunroof drains if it has one leaky valve stem seals are a bitch, maybe do a leakdown and compression test to make sure the rest of the internals are good first. I know its hard, having so many issues, but i think with a bit of hard work and time (maybe some money) you should be able to get it into a state where you are happy to drive and enjoy.

i hated my 3.46 in my converted 323i, 1st was too short, and 3k rpm at 100kph sucked hard on the open road.

+1 silver. Black only makes me think someone got bored with a can of plastidip.

im on 45 in 10 years.

Oh if i wasnt so poor. GL, someone is going to get a beast.

FTFY

the more i see of your Baur the more i like it. Used to think they were the ugliest thing ever. Looking great!

Needs a poll. +1 for smoked

gutless and will have jatco jerk. Not motorsport. meh.

hell, its worth a crack eh

i cant imagine a new bolt from the dealer being too expensive, only issue might be availability.

im so sorry to hear whats happening, no one deserves to be sold a car that is so fundamentally fudged (especially from a fellow member!). Could it be worth trying to remove the broken bit of bolt in the crank? surely a nice big chunky screw extractor could do it?

who cares about the damn legs when the car looks this good? Weirdos.

oh sh*t.

Stop questioning the internet, its never wrong!

i cant help but think there needs to a better design for those air filters, instead of leaving them stuck in the middle of a hot engine bay with only that OEM duct blowing in their general direction.

I felt like being nosy too, and according to RealOEM your car shares the part numbers for the cams with a normal 2001 330ci

new wheels look great, and better imo without centre caps.
