^ No

As above, anyone got a Bentley manual for a E36 they no longer need?

I am also after a Diamond Schwarz E36 coupe rear spoiler with no stop light in excellent paint condition, in Wellington if possible, happy to pay for shipping if it will be cheaper than getting my own one repainted.

LSD and Manual Conversion sold.

Who wants a never been used fibreglass iS lip? or a M20 PFL head, unsure what a good price is on the head, low ball me if you wish.

Cheers.

LSD, will give you $300

You can do better than that....haha

Trailing arms sold.

Additionally, to the rest in the first post I have a unpainted fibre glass iS lip (currently its white), moulded from an OEM lip, will fit any facelift E30 $70

All prices are negotiable feel free to low ball me, this stuff needs to go sooner rather than later.

Sold.

^ This. Can do you a discount if you buy my pair of 325 trailing arms and the LSD together, project looks good so far.

All sold, mod can delete

Cheers

Thanks guys for the comments, car is now on hold subject to purchase arrangements, this will be updated if it falls through.

Cheers, Nathan

Good luck with the sale Nath. What have you got on he go? Better be a bimmer!

Thanks Brett, picked up a nice E36 coupe at Turners, will put some pictures up in due course.

Hey everyone,

New car means this one has to go. I have owned this for 3 years, it has had several bimmersport owners before me. In my ownership I had driven about 25,000km in it (including two track days) for the last 18 months it has been driven basically everyday.

1985 BMW E30 325i Coupe

Pre-facelift

NZ New

Factory manual

Platanengrun Metallic (only seen two or three in this color)

325,000km

Specs:

Electric sunroof

Motorsport Recaro seats with vinyl bolsters (fabric is wearing a little thin in places, but still tidy, rear seat has a super glue stain on the bench)

Tech 1 wheel with new emblem and motorsport 5 spd gear knob

Race series spec Koni adjustable shocks front and rear with matched race series spec king springs front and rear

Urethane: control arm bushes, trailing arm bushes, diff mount bush, front sway bar mount bushes, steering coupling, rear sub frame bushes

3.64 LSD with replaced front oil seal and rear gasket seal

180km facelift M20 motor conversion with face lift gearbox (15,000km ago it had: plugs, oil, water pump, thermostat, all the main cooling hoses, cambelt and tensioner, rear main seal, rocker cover and sump gasket, exhaust manifold gaskets, distributor rotor and cap, set of good leads all replaced at once)

Custom exhaust (2.5inch with a bullet resonator and a high flow muffler at the end (loud but sounds gorgeous)

Electric fan only on a switch not a thermo switch

Z3 shifter with new plastic cup bush and brass bush upgrade

Trusting race brake pads

E36 window switch conversion

Bottle caps have two near new tyres on the rear and the front have heaps of tread

The good:

180km facelift M20 motor is a peach, had most bits and pieces refreshed 15k ago, plenty of power and smooth

Most of the parts on this car have been replaced, adjusted or upgraded

Handles like s**t on a blanket, can't buy anything as fun for less IMO

The bad:

Gearbox is a little winey but shifts perfectly fine, brought from Kerry at Mosens (member on here)

Needs a new front windscreen (can provide for purchaser)

Rego runs out on 14th of October

Rust on the roof and rear quarter will need fixing before a new warrant (was borderline last time)

Rear sub frame bushes do need replacement

Needs a wheel alignment (can sort this for the purchaser if needed)

The drivers door has a decent fist sized dent in it, would not be hard to pop back out fill and paint

This car would be perfect for someone looking to buy a great track day car of which someone has done all the hard work already and installed all the good bits to make it drive brilliantly. Just add a set of 15 x 7 wheels and some semi slicks and your away. Or add a roll cage and the other bits and your basically ready to race. The parts installed make it still more than comfy enough to drive daily as well.

I also have a spare pre-facelift M20 manual conversion, 3.64 LSD with a delrin diff bush, rear sub frame with delrin bushes, set of rear trailing arms, M20 pre-facelift head and a face lift fibre glass iS lip, which can be negotiated with the sale of the car, or will be sold separately if the car is split.

Here are some pictures of what it has looked like in my ownership:

And here it is in its current for sale state:

Any questions let me know, I am ideally looking to sell this as is and the price reflects that, if there is insufficent interest I will be parting it out.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Cheers, Nathan

^ Have a look around how much a low k's S50 and box go for on their own, that should explain quite a bit, before you include all the sort after parts such as the seats etc. It is a similar theory to selling a modified car, in parts it is worth more than as a complete vehicle (generally).

A Perfect Circle - The Outsider

NSFW

- Bikini Bandits

- It has a Black Charger in it

- Was all I used to listen to bashing around in my old E30 at high school

- The song isn't bad either

Have you decided whether to part this out yet? I would like the headliner if you can get it out complete. Cheers

As above, for a car with a sunroof please.

PM suits best.

Cheers, Nathan

I've seen atleast one E46 323 manual NZ new 150(ish) k's for 6500 on trademe, silly value, why would you want a $9000 E36 over that.

I can vouch for it still looking beautiful in person

Could be interested, depending on price.

Also, although I don't know how valid, my recommendation is to rinse the soap off the car without the nozzle on the hose, otherwise the jet/spray out of the hose blasts all the wax out of the just applied car wash, works for me anyway.

Anyone got one lying around?

Must be manual, along with no canvas roof, don't mind a 316 or 318.

Seen a few go cheap at Turners, all the manual ones on trademe are dreaming.

Just fishing for now.

Cheers

Hey Nath,

Is the aftermarket shifter one of these ones? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-435468810.htm

Had one originally in my first E30 and it was horrible, struggled to get it into gear, particually reverse, WOF inspector thought the gearbox was rooted. Put a z3 shifter in and happy days.

Cheers, Nathan

Check your phone dickhead, I haz nuts

Alternatively you could buy one of these http://store.bimmerworld.com/radio-blank-plate-p745.aspx a few wreckers on here will have them also, quite rare but perfect if you still want a OEM look.

Got a Powerbuilt one from Repco $40 bucks. Rather not use the DIY rough route for something like this, the car is too nice to skimp on.

Cheers everyone for the help

As above, anyone know where you could buy these, for protecting the paint work when leaning over the car when working on it, seen plenty of US stockists but I expect shipping would be an arm and a leg.

Cheers for the help.

Nathan
