bravo

Nice comparison there James. It would be pref/l for the non-m3's though being 87. Jammy - it is really hard to say what maintenance it will need. The thing is, if it IS a real m3, the owner is likely to have some idea of its worth, in which case there must be something very wrong with it. m3's go for $15-25k for tired ones, and $45-60,000 for good ones. Take a look at Old Skool's thread about his 1987 m3 from japan and you'll see the sort of problems you may encounter. If its a standard e30 with a m3 badge, then you need to compare it to others at the same price. At that price for a pre f/l, I'd be either wanting something very mint including mechanicals, or something in need of a little amount of tlc, but a bit special (like 325i manual with body kit). BTW as Simon below states, this is all $NZ. As it appears you may be from Canada, may I suggest you have a talk to the guys over at maXBimmer.com as they are mostly based in Canada.

Make sure it is actually an m3. Many people (including plenty of mechanics) wouldn't know an m3 if it fell on them. A badge at the back saying m3 does not an m3 make. If it is indeed an m3, snap it up - at that price it's probably worth it even if the engine is stuffed. (but only if you have the cash to buy a new motor - HUGELY expensive, as in, at least the price of the car again or more depending on how many kms and how much work it needs).

Note correct technique:

Spotted this over at maxBimmer: Note the bimmersport automotive sticker above the car....

Yeehaaaa!!! I didn't have time to read it all, but that's enough to know I'll be back soon to read it. Awesomeness, and it even looks good for a BMW too!

In my view, nawt.

But that's been done again, and again, and again.

Tilting 3-wheeler. Hardly a new concept. Many prototypes and a couple of production versions built by various companies over the years.

Just apply for a VISA Gold card - comes with travel insurance.

Sick video. Sick car. End of.

That's hot. Love that colour. Sorry, can't help your original question though. I assume you have checked trademe and your local buy/sell paper?

Nope - just in his personal profile. At any rate, seems as though the poor guy has been scared off.

Can't confirm, but I note their condition worsened from serious but stable to critical overnight. A since self-deleted post by another member made some excellent points along similar lines of what Simon has said, and that I now realise what PJay was trying to say. The guy will get his just-desserts, and the police in charge of the operation are the best positioned to make decisions on what to do so I'm assuming they're doing their best to schieve a good result. Sorry PJay - I thought you were on some sort of bleeding-heart pro crimnal's rights trip, I now realise my error.

ROFL touring FTL.

Haha - what about Alex aka Quicksilver? Sorry bro you're a girl.... BTW I take lebske to be something to do with Alex's surname - Leben.

You might find someone on here willing to come give you a hand, but more than likely you would have to make a start yourself, or bite the bullet and pay a mechanic. If you lived close to me I'd do it, but I'd expect to be paid, have you helping and willing to learn, and have a ready supply of beers on tap. There maybe someone in Christchurch willing to help under similar circumstances. Good luck!

Actually I think Simon wants to know how you determined Alex's gender.....
