I’ve got a few small scrapes and scratches on the E34 that I’m looking into getting repaired. 

Has anyone here had experience with companies such as Touch up guys / Final Touch ? Cost/ Quality of work ?

Damn we have similar taste haha - you move the M325i on?

Can't wait to see it at a local event.

Still have the M325i ! Will definitely be taking this out in the near future 😃

... Or is it being moved on 👀

Didn’t have much luck selling a little while back but open to moving it on if anyone is serious. 

Hey guys, 

Just wanted to update this, I've purchased this car - it needs some TLC but it has been very well taken care of mechanically (BM Workshop history) previous owner is an absolute legend and BMW enthusiast with a wealth of knowledge.

I will admit it took some convincing for him to sell the car but happy i got it over the line. 

Hi Guys, I've been working on a family members E30 over the weekend and require a rust free fuel tank. 

Does anyone have anything ? Thanks, Andrew 

That looks really good. How much evaporust did you go through ?

I'm looking at doing something similar on a E30 project I'm working on. 

I had a look at this touring about 18 months ago as a project, would definitely recommend buyers to have a look at it if your serious.

Are these welded 2 piece ? 

M54 spark plugs and Camshaft sensor 

All brand new unused - SOLD ! 

Thanks mate, will look into that option

Hi everyone,

On the hunt for a e36 coupe rear screen within Auckland, can go to Hamilton/Waikato area as well. 

Genuine, aftermarket or Second hand, open to anything at this stage. 
 

Thanks, Andrew

Lachs number one

Yup its Lachssilber  

Thanks @Sammo & @Neil McCauley - much appreciated, I've watched the prices fluctuate over the last couple of years and somehow missed putting the red listing on my watchlist.

Did anyone catch what happened to the red M325i listed (sold for) on Trademe a week or two back ? Could possibly be looking at listing mine and wanted to use it as a gauge on the market. 

A few of us have been watching that listing, it’s pretty much my cars twin 😁

Congrats and welcome to the forum, heaps of E30 nuts on this page!

Lovely motor but seems a little speculative when that stunning Sterling Silver M325i recently sat for so long at $55k.

Do you know if it sold in the end ? 

That’s a good friends old car, He bought it off the 1st owner. Car is Ex Hong Kong

Specs seem to check out - although this is interesting:

“At some point in it's life it has had a body swap and therefore sunroof is gone”

 

Long history with this one.

Pretty sure a couple of BS members also owned this, I knew of one through family. 

It was last on the market Sept 2021

18 months later I did not forsee myself snagging your cars uglier twin 🤣

Definitely some inspo here as I start restoring mine!

I’m sure you’ll add your own twist to the car and it will come out perfect ! Make sure you start a project thread so we can stay up to date 😊

A little while since my last post and not too much to add, Cars out of storage now our new place has been built.

- New WOF and Service from P&S a few weeks ago. 

Here’a a couple of pics from the other day, look forward to taking it out more during summer ☀️

Checking it out this afternoon 😁 Needs a bit of love for sure, but it is an M325i in my favourite colour.

Awesome, Good luck ! 
 

Rust would be my biggest concern with these cars now but I’m sure you’ve researched all the common fault areas. 

A "used"  389km NZ New M325i Tech II popped up on FB this morning for $34k 

My cars exact twin..Looks like it came 2 cars after on the production line as well 😎

I second P&S, they would be my only choice in East Auckland. Good family run business !
