Wasnt this car for sale off and on for ages in TM?

This would have to be the pick of the E36 M3 range?

http://www.classicthrottleshop.com/modernclassic11.html

A mate just sold his E36 so he no longer needs the plate.

As stated in the title it reads: E36

Price $1300

190e Evo, only merc I could nearly own.

Thats an Evo II bodykit on a 190E Cosworth.

Cant figure how he doesnt get busted given how loud it is

He has 2 exhaust systems.

I wouldnt bother, I cant see the NZV8's getting off the ground this coming season, but if it does its going to be a very small feild. Most of the good guys are over in the V8 Super Tourers. That what you want to link your race series with.

Theres a nice one here in the Bay

Yip, its a mate of mines car.

He often drives it. Always puts a smile on my face when I see it in the staff car park

Weren't they bespoke for the F40 ?

You have 2 options re tyres for an F40, P Zeros and Michelin.

Can't be many of these in the country, who's going to get the moths out of their wallet?

4 of them in the country.

Are these that rare? There are two different ones driving around hastings of all places.

Only three NZ new 20V Turbo (RR's) in NZ, plus one white UK import.

Two of the NZ new RR's are currently on TM, the third one (black) lives in Hastings and is owned by a family friend.

Where did the M5 come from? Not many Sliverstone Blue E39 M5's in NZ.

smaller market - yes I agree with

Higher buy price - yes I agree with

Higher spec - absolutely not! The UK have a far bigger and better option range!

The BMW experience being 2nd to none? Maybe at the moment, but this may well change given the attitude that seems to coming from some of the members on here that work for BMW. If they are displaying their disdain at UK imports, how many others at BMW will be doing the same thing?

Our tiny population is probably at the base of the population. We just do not have the buying power needed to compete globally. Someone told me that most distributors buy through Australia. Obviously they have a luxury car tax. Could this have something to do with the higher pricing?

I dont know if BMW NZ has anything to do with BMW OZ, but BMW NZ is owned by BMW Germany.

Is this the car that was owned by the guy at The Healey Shop?

Its a Drivers Car. If you want collect something buy some baseball cards.

Couldnt agree more.

If you want a CSL with lower mileage there are plenty about in the UK, this example was GBP20k, less than NZ$40k which was the point being made here about prices of CSLs.

Have a look and see what you can buy for NZ$70k at the current exchange rates... will make your mouth water.

So 40K NZ, plus 7K to get it here and on the road = 47K for a CSL done around 170,000kms. How many people do you think will put there hands up for that?

A family member was offered a NZ new high km E60 M5 for less than 30K . . .

Totally agree. I would have one in a heartbeat, infact, BMW NZ's ex demo is sitting opposite my window on the lot for 100K right now... Hmmm.

I wouldn't pay more than 70K for a CSL, there might not be a heap in NZ but plenty in both SA and the UK, case in point:

104,000 Miles, its never going to be a collectors car.

If you believe what you read on the net only 231 were built:

The JDM had four detuned ones.

These are pretty cool (and rare):

rare with a towbar!

'99 missing the facelift goodies but probably still a solid car.

Saw it at HD as well. There were more M5's in the carpark than inside the track.

Yip, on Saturday there was 3 Avus Blue E39 M5's in the one at HD, this one, my Brothers and a facelift one.

We did speak to the owner of the above car, it sounded like he needed the money and it wanted to replace it with a manual E34 540 or the like.

I saw this car at Hampton Down last Saturday. Seemed like a nice car (couple of rims could do with repaint).

Ive been on the lookout for a E30 M3 for awhile now and there only seems to be those two red ones on trade me.

Has anyone imported an M3 from overseas such as the US ?

Can they be registered in NZ - as they are older then 20 years ?

Do they have to comply with the new emissions regulations ?

Would like to hear you advice.. Thanks !

Do you know your E30 M3 specs?

Basically 3 versons country wise, European, US and Japanese.

The differences?

European: Dogleg gearbox, larger gas tank (second tank behind the rear of the back seat)

USA: Standard H pattern gearbox, side lights, no extra gas tank behind the seats

Japanese: Standard H pattern gearbox, large gas tank.

In saying that, a number of European spec cars have found there way into Japan so you can find euro spec cars in Japan. They other thing to watch is that so many Japanese E30 M3's have been tuned and tracked.

No doubt there will be some sensational cars in the car-park too.

I know of a few

"1990 E320 M3 2.5 Sport Evo 1 of 505 made"

Im guessing thats meant to be E30? Also werent 600 produced?

Either way I looking forward to this event.

the trainspotter in me agrees, EVO3 front guards. Looks like Oscars car. Pussytamer knows it well he could confirm if it is Oscars car.

It's Oscars (ex?) Sport Evo.

Basically is a test between an E30 M3 and a 123D (simular performance figures).

I love the last paragraph:

"The E30 M3 is still the ultimate M-car and therefore the ultimate BMW. I wonder what we'll be comparing it with in another 25 years . . ."
